-- 瑞银表示,预计将于周三发布的4月份货币政策报告(MPR)将包含一个专栏,分析油价冲击对加拿大经济前景的影响。 在1月份的货币政策报告(MPR)中,加拿大央行假设:“在预测期内,布伦特原油价格预计为每桶60美元,西德克萨斯中质原油为每桶55美元,加拿大西部精选原油为每桶45美元。这些价格比10月份报告中的假设低5美元。” 布伦特原油期货价格预计到2026年12月将稳定在每桶82美元左右,到2027年12月将稳定在每桶75美元左右。瑞银在一份致客户的报告中写道,最新的预测可能会进行调整,以反映油价上涨的预期。 瑞银预计其核心通胀预测不会有太大变化,这不仅是基于3月份的数据,也是因为模型显示能源冲击对加拿大核心价格的影响相对有限。 该银行预测,加拿大央行将下调第一季度国内生产总值增长预期,这可能会对其年度增长预期造成影响,具体取决于下调幅度以及增长是否会重新分配。 加拿大央行周一还宣布任命两位新的副行长,此前副行长里斯·门德斯将于4月10日离任,副行长莎伦·科齐基将于7月15日退休。马克-安德烈·戈斯林和尼古拉斯·文森特将分别于2026年5月25日和8月3日加入管理委员会,担任副行长。 戈斯林自2019年以来一直领导加拿大央行经济分析部,此前曾担任金融稳定部副总经理。 文森特目前已是管理委员会成员,自2023年以来一直担任外部副行长。加拿大央行将启动外部副行长职位的招聘程序,以填补即将空缺的职位。 4月份的会议成员人数因此只有六人,门德斯在会前离任,其继任者要到5月25日才会加入。 瑞银认为这对政策决定影响不大,理事会将在6月份的会议上恢复满员。虽然科齐基将于7月15日退休(与7月份政策公告同一天),但瑞银预计她不会参加那次会议。届时会议的出席成员是六人还是七人,将取决于空缺的外部副行长职位能否尽快填补。
