-- 国际货币基金组织（IMF）周二将加拿大2026年国内生产总值（GDP）增长预期下调0.1个百分点至1.5%，同时维持对2025年1.9%的预期不变。 IMF于周二发布了最新的《世界经济展望》。 加拿大2025年GDP增长1.7%。 IMF在周二发布的《世界经济展望》中指出，近期增长放缓反映了2025年底增长势头减弱和人口增长放缓，而此前宽松的货币政策和支持性的财政政策有助于维持国内需求。 IMF补充道，这一预测与2025年10月发布的《世界经济展望》基本一致，油价上涨带来的贸易条件利好抵消了中东战争的其他影响。 根据国际货币基金组织 2026 年 4 月发布的《世界经济展望》，预计今年消费者价格将上涨 2.5%，然后在 2027 年放缓至 2.1%，与 2025 年的水平持平。
