Prices have skyrocketed. The General Accounting Office announced that the consumer price index soared to 3.38% in April. This is the second consecutive month that the consumer price index has exceeded 3%. It is not even ruled out that the CPI in May has a high probability of breaking 3%. The pressure of inflation has increased sharply. The central bank will hold a meeting of directors and supervisors next month. Whether it will raise interest rates and how many rate hikes will attract much attention. Experts say that if the central bank starts raising interest rates, it is expected to be half a rate to 1 rate, and the rate will not be much higher. too big.
Beat a poached egg and put it on the omelette. This is a nutritious and delicious breakfast. Many breakfast restaurants charge 10 yuan for an egg, but it’s hard to say whether it will go up in the future, because the price of chicken has gone up again.
The breakfast restaurant operator said, “In May, chicken prices all went up, and the relationship between chicken plague and imports could not come in.”
People buy salted chicken home to celebrate Mother’s Day. No matter how expensive it is, they still have to buy it. There is a high probability that the CPI will break 3% in May, which will also increase the pressure of imported inflation in Taiwan. In April, the central bank will hold a board of supervisors, and whether it will raise interest rates and how many interest rates will be raised has attracted much attention.
Wu Daren, executive director of the Center for Taiwan Economics at Central University, said, “The central bank is very likely not to raise interest rates in June, so if it wants to raise interest rates, it will not be too large, indeed it is half a yard to a yard, until it is possible. June and July are the peak periods of the epidemic. During this period, private consumption will be affected to some extent. Therefore, many manufacturers are full of great uncertainty about their revenue, profit, and even employment status. ”
In order to curb inflation, the central bank has already started raising interest rates by one yard in March, not only for the first time in 10 years, but also for the largest rate hike in 15 years. Raising interest rates, Taiwan has the opportunity to follow up, but the domestic epidemic has not cooled down, but the Taiwan dollar continues to depreciate, the interest rate gap between Taiwan and the United States continues to widen, and imported inflation increases. It is a dilemma whether to raise interest rates or not.
