Asia week ahead: Rate decision in the Philippines and data on Taiwan and China
['Deepali Bhargava', 'Lynn Song']

Taiwan will publish its latest inflation and trade data.
We expect inflation to edge up slightly to 1.7% year-on-year in September, up from 1.6% YoY in August.
Price pressures have cooled this year and are likely to remain within the 2% target level for the remainder of 2025.
This keeps the door open for a December rate cut if data deteriorates.
In September, we’re looking for a 42.3% YoY gain in exports and a 20.4% rise in imports for a trade balance of $17.4bn.
