What the Data Shows

This statistic separates Taiwan’s trade-price movement from consumer inflation. In Dec. 2024, export prices fell 0.95% year on year while import prices fell 2.88%, meaning export prices fell 1.93 percentage points less than import prices. CPI rose 2.10% in the same month, so the graphic shows trade prices and household inflation together without implying a full-year trend.

Data notes & caveats

This is a single-month official price snapshot, not the full multi-year terms-of-trade trend. Export and import price changes are U.S.-dollar-basis year-on-year readings from DGBAS.

Methodology

The spread is export-price index year-on-year change minus import-price index year-on-year change for Dec. 2024. CPI is shown as a consumer-price context metric for the same month.

Source consistency notes

All three lines should come from DGBAS price-statistics material. Do not mix monthly yoy changes with annual average index levels inside the same final chart.
