新加坡私营部门4月增长加速,需求创历史新高

By

-- 受创纪录的新业务涌入推动,新加坡私营部门增速飙升至2022年7月以来的第二高水平。 根据周二发布的一份报告,经季节性调整的标普全球新加坡采购经理人指数(PMI)从3月份的56.7升至4月份的57.9。 标普全球市场情报经济学家埃莉诺·丹尼森表示:“新加坡私营部门在4月份加速增长,产出增长强劲,并创下新业务涌入纪录。4月份的需求注入意味着投入需求增加,这引发了采购活动的创纪录增长。” 由于国内需求回升,抵消了出口销售放缓的影响,新业务增速加快。 持续的中东紧张局势扰乱了全球石油供应,尤其是在3月份,推高了油价,并影响了国际市场对新加坡企业的需求。 标普指出,不断上涨的油价也加剧了本地企业的成本压力,促使大多数公司通过提高价格将负担转嫁给消费者。 由于成本压力,许多公司裁员,导致积压订单不断增加。 丹尼森表示:“在通胀压力居高不下的情况下,企业因此尽可能地削减成本,这最终导致就业人数下降。” 丹尼森补充道,尽管员工人数有所下降,但商业信心依然乐观,新加坡企业的增长预期目前处于“历史最高水平”。 与此同时,新加坡零售业保持韧性。尽管燃油价格波动,但强劲的汽车销售继续提振零售活动。新加坡统计局周二公布的数据显示,3月份零售额同比增长4.8%,其中汽车及零部件销售额增长12.9%。 据新加坡《海峡时报》报道,新加坡星展银行高级经济学家蔡汉腾在最近的一份报告中表示,新加坡第一季度的经济表现表明,在劳动力市场状况和旅游业的支撑下,消费活动“具有韧性”。
