By

-- 澳洲統計局週二公佈的數據顯示,經季節性調整後,澳洲3月家庭支出較上季成長1.6%,達到804.1億澳元,高於上月的0.3%。 「受中東衝突影響,燃油價格上漲,導致交通運輸成本上漲5.1%,推動了3月份家庭支出的強勁增長。」澳洲統計局商業統計主管湯姆·萊伊表示。 3月份,九大支出類別中有七大類別出現成長,其中交通運輸、食品以及其他商品和服務支出增幅最大。 經季節性調整後的商品支出較上季成長2.9%,主要得益於汽車用品、食品以及休閒文化支出的增加;服務支出較上季成長0.1%,其他服務、鐵路和公路運輸以及休閒文化服務支出均有所成長。 3月份,澳洲所有八個州和領地的家庭支出均有所增長,其中塔斯馬尼亞州、昆士蘭州和新南威爾斯州的增幅最為顯著。 經季節性調整後,3月季度家庭支出總額較上季成長0.7%,達2,265.4億美元。 家庭非必需品和服務支出環比增長0.6%,主要得益於休閒文化用品、其他服務以及服裝鞋帽支出的增加;非必需品和服務支出環比增長3.4%,主要得益於汽車用品、食品以及鐵路和公路運輸支出的增加。 與去年同期相比,3月家庭支出成長6.3%。
