主计总处：9月CPI年增2.73%创31个月新高，食物类涨幅一年来最大
台北——据中央社报道，主计总处10月7日公布9月消费者物价指数（CPI）年增率2.73%，较8月的2.05%明显扩大，创2024年2月以来、31个月新高，也是连续第5个月高于2%的通膨警戒线。主计总处每月初公布上月物价统计，9月数据是第3季民生感受最直接的一份报告。
主计总处指出，9月食物类价格年增2.64%，为一年来最大涨幅。8月中南部豪雨影响蔬菜产地供应，产地价格上扬传导至零售端，蔬菜价格上涨近5%；外食费年增约3%，已连续第4个月高于3%，是家庭最有感的涨价项目之一。其余类别方面，交通及通讯类年增4.07%，衣着类涨2.32%，居住类涨2.38%，教育娱乐类涨3.15%，杂项类涨2.77%，医药保健类涨幅最小、为0.70%。经季节调整后，9月CPI月增率0.13%，为2025年11月以来最慢，显示单月涨势已有放缓迹象。CPI的调查涵盖食物、衣着、居住、交通通讯、医药保健、教育娱乐与杂项七大类商品与服务价格，其中食物类权数高、购买频率也高，涨跌最直接牵动民众的日常感受；外食费则综合反映食材、店租与人事成本，是餐饮业者定价压力的缩影。
主计总处预期，随着蔬菜供应逐步恢复，物价压力10月可望趋缓，后续涨势应属温和、有限。不过，CPI连续5个月站在2%警戒线之上，食物与外食价格又攸关基层家庭的日常开支，物价动向仍将是第4季民生关注的焦点，中央银行的利率决策也连带受到市场注视。
September CPI Rises 2.73% Year on Year, a 31-Month High, as Food Prices Climb at Their Fastest in a Year
Taipei — Taiwan's consumer price index rose 2.73 percent year on year in September, the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) announced on October 7, the Central News Agency reported. The reading was up sharply from August's 2.05 percent, marking a 31-month high — the highest since February 2024 — and the fifth consecutive month above the 2 percent inflation alert line. The DGBAS releases the previous month's price data early each month, and the September report is the one households feel most directly for the third quarter.
Food prices led the increase, rising 2.64 percent from a year earlier, their fastest pace in a year. Heavy rain in central and southern Taiwan in August disrupted vegetable-growing areas, and higher farm-gate prices passed through to retail, pushing vegetable prices up by nearly 5 percent. The cost of dining out rose about 3 percent — above 3 percent for a fourth straight month — making it one of the increases households feel most directly. Elsewhere, transport and communication costs rose 4.07 percent, clothing 2.32 percent, housing 2.38 percent, education and entertainment 3.15 percent, and miscellaneous items 2.77 percent; healthcare posted the smallest gain, at 0.70 percent. On a seasonally adjusted basis, prices rose 0.13 percent from August, the slowest monthly pace since November 2025, a sign the monthly momentum is already slowing. The CPI basket covers seven broad groups — food, clothing, housing, transport and communication, healthcare, education and entertainment, and miscellaneous goods and services. Food carries a heavy weighting and is bought most often, so its movements shape how inflation feels day to day; dining-out prices, in turn, bundle together ingredient, rent and labor costs, and serve as a snapshot of the pricing pressure on restaurants and food stalls.
The DGBAS expects price pressure to ease in October as vegetable supply recovers, and sees the subsequent trend as mild and limited. Still, with the CPI above the alert line for five months running, and food and dining costs central to household budgets, prices will remain a key livelihood issue in the fourth quarter, and the central bank's interest-rate decisions will draw corresponding market attention.
