-- 根据澳大利亚国民银行(NAB)周三发布的消费者支出趋势报告,受油价上涨带动燃油支出大幅增长的推动,澳大利亚3月份消费者支出环比增长2.1%。 与去年同期相比,消费者支出增长8.4%。 剔除燃油支出后,消费者支出环比增长0.7%,同比增长7.5%,主要得益于食品支出增加以及建筑和服务成本上涨。 NAB首席经济学家萨莉·奥尔德表示:“3月份消费者支出增长2.1%,主要受燃油价格飙升导致燃油支出大幅增长33.5%的推动。” 报告补充道,3月份燃油支出增长34%,同比增长25.7%,价格涨幅超过单笔交易支出,表明油价上涨导致消费者进行预防性购买,并减少了加油次数。 3月份商品支出增长3.7%,服务支出增长0.4%,其中公用事业和电信服务增长最为显著。 随着支出转向非必需品,消费者在3月份开始减少非必需服务支出,燃油支出成为主要增长点。与此同时,咖啡馆、餐厅、酒店和旅游等类别的支出有所下降。 3月份,澳大利亚各州和地区的消费者支出均有所增长,其中南澳大利亚州和昆士兰州的增长最为强劲。过去一年,全国范围内的支出增长主要由必需品类别推动,尤其是公用事业和燃油。 奥尔德表示:“目前,消费者已经消化了燃油成本上涨带来的影响,对其整体支出影响甚微。然而,非必需品类别,尤其是餐饮、旅游和个人服务,表现明显不佳。” 奥尔德补充道:“我们预计,生活成本上涨的压力将继续对家庭预算造成持续压力,并抑制非必需品支出。”
