-- 根据澳新银行（ANZ）周三发布的报告，新西兰第一季度失业率下降0.1个百分点至5.3%，与新西兰储备银行2月份的预测基本一致。 报告显示，失业率略低于澳新银行此前预测的5.4%。 尽管失业率有所下降，但基础数据显示，就业增长低于预期，环比仅为0.2%，劳动参与率也略有下降。 与此同时，工资增长保持稳定，与目标通胀水平相符。 虽然就业人数、工作时长和带薪工时在本季度均有所增长，与澳新银行此前预测的第一季度国内生产总值环比增长0.8%基本吻合，但这些数据被视为“回顾过去”，因为近期全球油价冲击改变了经济前景。 数据显示，在油价冲击之前，劳动力市场正按照新西兰储备银行的预测复苏，但这些数据对于预测劳动力市场的未来走向却鲜有助益。

Singapore's Private Sector Growth Accelerates in April Amid Record Demand
Singapore's private sector growth surged to its second-highest level since July 2022, driven by a record influx of new business.The headline seasonally adjusted S&P Global Singapore Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 57.9 in April from 56.7 in March, according to a report released Tuesday."The Singaporean private sector gained speed in April, with stronger growth in output and a record influx of new business signaled," S&P Global Market Intelligence economist Eleanor Dennison said. "April's demand injection meant that input requirements were greater and this triggered a record increase in buying activity."New business accelerated due to a pick-up in domestic demand, offsetting the slowdown in export sales.Ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which disrupted global oil supply, particularly in March, drove up prices and affected international demand for Singapore businesses.Escalating oil prices also intensified cost pressures for local businesses, prompting most firms to pass the burden onto consumers by raising prices, according to S&P.Companies reported accumulating backlogs as many trimmed jobs due to cost pressures."At a time of severely elevated inflationary pressures, firms therefore looked to cut costs where they could, which materialised as a reduction in employment levels," said Dennison.Despite a drop in headcounts, business sentiment remained upbeat, with Singaporean companies' growth expectations currently at "their brightest on record," Dennison added.Meanwhile, Singapore's retail sector remained resilient. Despite fluctuating fuel prices, strong vehicle sales continued to boost retail activity. Data from Statistics Singapore on Tuesday revealed a 4.8% year-over-year increase in retail sales in March, boosted by a 12.9% surge in motor vehicle and parts sales.Singapore's first-quarter performance points to "resilient" consumer activity, supported by labor market conditions and tourism, Chua Han Teng, senior economist with Singapore-based DBS Bank said in a recent note, as per Singapore-based The Straits Times.
