德斯贾丁斯集团质疑高油价是否会削弱加拿大消费者的购买力。

-- 德斯贾丁斯集团的兰德尔·巴特利特指出,与伊朗的冲突导致全球油价飙升,推高了燃料和化肥价格,同时运输瓶颈问题再次出现,引发了人们对供应链压力可能再次推高所有商品价格的担忧。 巴特利特表示,此次能源价格冲击可能会给加拿大消费者带来压力,尽管他们在与美国的贸易战期间一直保持着韧性。 巴特利特认为,本已面临巨大财务压力的低收入家庭最难以承受通胀的再次加速。但他同时指出,与较为富裕的家庭相比,他们短期内受运输成本上涨的影响较小。 此外,巴特利特指出,消费税/统一销售税抵免额的增加——即在伊朗冲突前就已计划的加拿大食品和必需品福利——应该足以抵消2026年中期能源价格上涨对消费的影响。 巴特利特表示,减税、价格管制以及增加对经济最脆弱家庭的收入转移支付,都是各级政府可以用来为加拿大人提供额外援助的手段。但他补充说,所有这些措施都需要付出代价,而且有些代价更高。“为了抵消能源价格上涨带来的通胀影响,政策选择需要在提供广泛支持和帮助最需要帮助的加拿大人之间取得平衡,同时还要关注财政的可持续性,”巴特利特指出。
