  "account": "DBS Group Research anticipates the Taiwan central bank will maintain its policy rate steady during the meeting on September 17, with a subsequent increase to 2.125% scheduled for December. Research analysts Taimur Baig and Chang Wei Liang point to modest August CPI, yet anticipate a cautiously optimistic approach as the CBC stays cautious about inflation risks arising from higher wages, supply-side inflation, and a rebound in domestic consumption. The central bank is anticipated to adopt a cautious stance, monitoring the potential for persistent supply-side inflation, particularly due to the resurgence of global oil prices following Middle East tensions. Additionally, policymakers are expected to underscore the risk of inflationary ripple effects due to heightened inflation expectations, wage increases, and revived domestic consumption. August CPI figures indicate no pressing need for the CBC to raise rates, as headline CPI was slightly below forecasts at 2.0% YoY, while core CPI ticked down marginally to 2.3%.",
  "summary": "DBS Group Research expects Taiwan’s central bank to keep its policy rate unchanged on September 17, before raising it to 2.125% in December.",
