加拿大国家银行称,加拿大零售销售增长势头或将在今年晚些时候减弱

By

-- 加拿大统计局的初步估计显示,3月份零售销售额环比名义增长0.6%,加拿大国家银行在周五公布数据后表示。 鉴于当月汽油价格飙升,这一数字很大程度上反映了加油站油价上涨的影响。因此,该银行指出,实际零售销售额在第一季度最后一个月可能会出现萎缩。 尽管如此,加拿大国家银行表示,根据目前掌握的信息,第一季度实际零售销售额的年化增长率可能达到4.7%,此前一个季度下降了2.0%,这将是自2024年第四季度以来最强劲的季度表现。 该银行指出,在人口萎缩的背景下,这一增长尤其令人印象深刻。 事实上,加拿大统计局的最新数据显示,该国人口已连续第二个季度下降——这是一个前所未有的现象。 因此,第一季度人均实际零售支出增长了5.2%,较2025年的低迷表现有所反弹。不过,国民银行认为,随着时间的推移,这种增长势头可能会迅速减弱。 由于中东冲突的影响,未来几个月家庭购买力将有所下降。该银行表示,再加上抵押贷款利息支出冲击和依然脆弱的劳动力市场,这可能会在未来对可自由支配支出构成压力。
