Taiwan's inflation rate in October increased by 1.69% year-on-year, which is the slowest pace since March 2021.
This figure is lower than the median estimate of 1.8% projected by economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Despite this modest rise in inflation, analysts believe that the central bank is unlikely to change its hawkish stance. The current economic indicators do not provide enough justification for a shift in monetary policy direction, and the central bank is closely monitoring inflation trends.
