〔記者陳梅英/台北報導〕8月CPI年增率降至2.04%,但民眾較有感的外食費年增3.17%,已連續3個月漲幅超過3%。展望9月,主計總處表示,外食價格短期內仍可能維持3%以上漲幅,加上蔬菜價格受到去年高基期消退影響,年減幅度可望明顯收斂,甚至不排除轉為上漲,預估9月CPI年增率將較8月擴大,維持在2%以上。
針對CPI連續4個月漲幅超過2%,若9月再度超過2%是否就符合「通膨」定義,主計總處官員表示,國際上對通膨並沒有單一明確的量化門檻,一般而言,通膨必須具有「普遍、全面、持續且顯著」的價格上漲特徵。
官員指出,目前國內物價雖有壓力,但價格上漲仍主要集中在外食、油料費及部分民生品項,尚未呈現全面性上漲,目前屬於「物價有壓力,但沒有普遍性通膨現象」。此外,今年1至8月CPI平均年增率為1.84%,仍低於2%,因此主計總處認為,目前國內物價仍屬溫和上漲,尚未出現通膨現象。
在外食費方面,官員表示,價格上漲主要反映業者營運成本增加,包括租金、人事成本、食材及能源等。由於價格一旦調整後通常不會立即回落,因此即使部分原物料價格走弱,外食費仍可能維持一段時間的較高漲幅,預估今年下半年外食費漲幅可能維持在3%左右或以上。
油料費也是影響物價的重要因素。雖然政府持續採取穩定油價措施,但國際油價仍高於去年同期,8月油料費年增11.86%。官員表示,若以目前油價水準推估,9月油料費漲幅可能與8月相近。
值得注意的是,近期AI需求熱絡也帶動記憶體價格上漲,進一步推升電腦及周邊設備等價格。不過,主計總處指出,這類商品並非民眾日常經常購買的品項,相較於外食等高頻消費項目,對一般消費者的價格感受仍相對有限。
