澳大利亚央行以近乎全票通过再次上调关键利率

By

-- 持续高企的通胀和大幅上涨的燃油价格促使澳大利亚央行周二将现金利率再次上调25个基点至4.35%,这是今年以来第三次提高借贷成本。 澳大利亚储备银行表示,通胀“在中东冲突爆发前就已经过高”,而且由于近期燃油及相关大宗商品价格飙升,通胀率可能在更长时间内维持在2%至3%的目标区间之上。 此次利率决定符合市场预期,此前一周公布的截至3月份的12个月消费者价格指数(CPI)为4.6%,较2月份的3.7%年化率大幅上升。 央行表示:“燃油价格上涨加剧了通胀,而且有迹象表明,这可能会对更广泛的商品和服务价格产生连锁反应。”央行预计,今年失业率将“略有上升”,同时家庭和企业支出也将放缓。 周二的决定几乎全票通过,八位政策制定者投票赞成加息,只有一位投票支持维持利率在4.1%不变。3月份的上一次政策会议竞争更为激烈,五位议员投票赞成加息,四位议员投票支持维持利率不变。 根据其基准预测(假设中东冲突迅速解决且燃油价格下降),央行预计到年底国内经济增长将放缓至1.3%。然而,央行也警告称,通胀高于预期、经济活动低于预期的情况也可能发生。 央行行长米歇尔·布洛克在政策会议后的新闻发布会上表示,即使美伊冲突迅速解决,其影响仍将持续到年底。她补充说,由此引发的石油冲击将加剧该国的住房危机。 澳新银行表示,央行会后声明的语气比预期更为鹰派。 澳新银行表示:“虽然会后声明指出董事会‘三次上调现金利率’,但并没有像我们预期的那样,明确表示6月份会暂停加息。”
