Taiwan’s consumer confidence index slipped to 62.08 in May 2026 from 62.47 in April, marking its lowest level since January 2023 as external uncertainties continued to weigh on outlook, particularly escalating risks linked to the Middle East conflict. The decline was driven by weaker sentiment across five of the six core components, with the sharpest drop seen in stock investment prospects (22.06 vs 23.09 in April). Views on household finances (75.72 vs 76.39), domestic economic conditions (78.29 vs 79.67), labor market expectations (70.67 vs 71.0), and willingness to purchase durable goods (91.68 vs 92.33) also deteriorated. Meanwhile, perceptions of future price levels improved slightly (32.77 vs 32.32), marking the only gain among the main sub-indicators. Elsewhere, sentiment toward real estate purchases weakened further (88.51 vs 89.23), while assessments of current health conditions (84.92 vs 83.16) and expected health conditions (80.01 vs 78.01) improved. source: Research Center for Taiwan Economic Development (RCTED)

Taiwan Consumer Confidence
In Taiwan, consumer confidence survey (CCI), published by the National Central University's Research Centre for Taiwan Economic Development (RCTED), measures consumers’ expectation of the economic situation in the coming six months. The CCI survey covers six indices: domestic business condition, employment opportunities, family economic conditions, investment in stocks, inflation expectations and willingness to buy durable goods. The overall index is an unweighted average of the six sub-indices. A value between 0 and 100 indicates pessimism, while a value between 100 and 200 indicates optimism. The index is based on a telephone survey of around 2,400 randomly selected adults over the age of 20, which is conducted nationwide in the third week of each month.
