加拿大丰业银行称,爱德华王子岛的财政前景在可负担性预算中恶化

-- 加拿大丰业银行表示,尽管爱德华王子岛省政府努力寻求财政节约并制定新的可负担性措施,但由于收入下降和支出增加,该省预计赤字将比此前预期更大,债务增长速度也将更快。 该银行指出,未来几年赤字的下降在很大程度上取决于该省能否通过支出审查实现每年2亿加元的计划节约,以及能否按计划放缓医疗支出增长。 2026财年赤字预计为4.5亿加元,占名义国内生产总值(NGDP)的4%,高于年中更新的3.67亿加元(占NGDP的3.2%),预计将从2027财年的4.1亿加元(占NGDP的3.5%)下降到2029财年的3.38亿加元(占NGDP的2.6%)。 预计今年和2027年实际GDP增长率均为2%,低于2025年预计的2.4%。 加拿大丰业银行指出,长期高额赤字将进一步推高该省的净债务。净债务预计将从2026财年的37.7亿加元(占GDP的33.2%)增至2027财年的45亿加元(占GDP的38.1%)和2028财年的48.9亿加元(占GDP的39.8%),并在2029财年达到51.3亿加元(占GDP的39.9%)。 该银行补充道,在巨额赤字和资本项目的压力下,该省的现金需求仍然居高不下。 2027财年,现金需求总额预计为9.184亿美元,低于2026财年的10.5亿美元,主要原因是综合赤字(4.1亿美元)、资本资产购置(4.865亿美元)以及代表国有企业净借款(1.051亿美元),其中部分净借款将被1.662亿美元的摊销费用所抵消。 这些借款需求计划通过9亿美元的长期借款和1840万美元的短期借款及营运资金来满足。
