Inflation rises in June
Inflation rose to 2.4% in June, above May’s 2.2%. The pick-up was largely due to rising price pressures for food. The trend pointed up mildly, with annual average inflation coming in at 2.5% in June (May: 2.4%). Finally, consumer prices increased 0.31% over the previous month in June, picking up from the 0.21% increase logged in May, due to higher electricity rates and stronger consumer demand for hospitality-related items stemming from the Dragon Boat Festival.
How should you choose a forecaster if some are too optimistic while others are too pessimistic? FocusEconomics collects Taiwanese inflation projections for the next ten years from a panel of 26 analysts at the leading national, regional and global forecast institutions. These projections are then validated by our in-house team of economists and data analysts and averaged to provide one Consensus Forecast you can rely on for each indicator. By averaging all forecasts, upside and downside forecasting errors tend to cancel each other out, leading to the most reliable inflation forecast available for Taiwanese inflation.
