Taiwan Consumer Sentiment at Over 3-Year Low
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.
