2026.03.0608:17:57UTC+00Taiwan Inflation Rate Hits 10-Month High

Taiwan’s annual inflation rate rose to 1.75% in February 2026, up from a five-year low of 0.69% in January. This was the highest rate since April 2025, largely reflecting faster price increases in housing and utilities (2.06% vs. 1.82% in January) and a smaller decline in transportation and communication prices (-0.86% vs. -1.95%).

Additional upward pressure came from stronger inflation in health (1.73% vs. 1.62%) and in miscellaneous goods and services (5.06% vs. 1.99%), as well as a rebound in education and entertainment prices (4.55% vs. -0.97%). In contrast, price growth slowed for food (0.21% vs. 1.16%) and clothing (0.87% vs. 1.58%).

On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, consumer prices increased 0.19% in February, compared with 0.10% in January. For the first two months of 2026, the consumer price index was up 1.23% from the same period a year earlier.
