台湾的年通胀率从上月的2.03%降至2025年5月的1.55%，为2021年3月以来的最低水平。经济放缓的主要原因是食品（3.1%对4月份的4.3%）、住房（1.8%对1.9%）、杂项商品和服务（2.4%对2.9%）的价格上涨放缓，以及交通和通信（-1.6%对-0.7%）和服装（-0.6%对-0.1%）的价格下跌幅度更大。相比之下，教育和娱乐业的通货膨胀率有所上升（1.2%对0.7%）。经季节性调整的月度消费者价格指数下降0.14%，这是自2023年11月以来的首次下降，扭转了4月份向下修正的0.04%的涨幅。

The annual inflation rate in Taiwan eased to 1.55% in May 2025 from 2.03% in the previous month, marking the lowest level since March 2021. The slowdown was mainly driven by slower price increases for food (3.1% vs 4.3% in April), housing (1.8% vs 1.9%), miscellaneous goods and services (2.4% vs 2.9%), as well as steeper price declines for transportation and communication (-1.6% vs -0.7%) and clothing (-0.6% vs -0.1%).

The S&P Global Taiwan Manufacturing PMI rose to 48.6 in May 2025 from 47.8 in April. This marked the third consecutive month of contraction, albeit at a slower pace, with panel members often highlighting the adverse impact of US tariffs and market uncertainty on demand. Total new orders fell solidly in May, despite the rate of contraction easing slightly from April, while new export orders dropped at the steepest rate in seventeen months. Companies also scaled back both input purchases and staffing levels, in line with expectations of reduced production requirements. Softer demand conditions also prompted manufacturers to lower their selling prices—at the fastest rate in almost two years. These price cuts were supported by a renewed decline in input costs, which fell for the first time since July 2023. Looking ahead, Taiwanese manufacturers remained pessimistic about the 12-month outlook for output, marking the second straight month of negative sentiment.
