菲律賓第一季GDP成長率進一步放緩至2.8%。

By

-- 受中東衝突加劇通膨壓力、削弱消費和投資者信心的影響,菲律賓經濟第一季進一步萎縮,創下疫情以來最低。 菲律賓統計局週四公佈的數據顯示,第一季國內生產毛額(GDP)年增2.8%,低於上一季的3%。 GDP成長率低於市場預期的3.3%,也低於澳新銀行(ANZ)預測的3.4%。路透社調查的分析師先前預測增幅為3.5%。 家庭消費成長3%,低於2025年第四季的3.8%。衡量投資成長的指標-總資本形成下降3.3%,反映投資者信心的下滑。 根據路透社報道,經濟規劃部長阿塞尼奧·巴利薩坎在新聞發布會上將當前的GDP成長歸因於伊朗戰爭對全球原油價格的影響,這場戰爭擾亂了國際供應鏈。 同時,政府支出有所改善,年增4.8%,高於上一季的0.7%。在2025年結束前,政府曾因「幽靈計畫」爭議而縮減支出,尤其是在基礎建設方面。 「幽靈計畫」是指一些用於不存在的防洪計畫的資金受到質疑。 澳新銀行經濟學家桑傑·馬圖爾和考薩尼·巴薩克在一份報告中指出:「儘管政府支出略有改善,但菲律賓經濟仍面臨高通膨、增長乏力和持續的外部不利因素等挑戰。總體而言,短期增長風險仍然偏向下行,尤其是在通膨居高不下或全球地緣政治局勢惡化的情況下。」 此外,批發零售貿易,尤其是汽車和摩托車維修,是推動GDP成長的因素之一,較去年同期成長4.6%。菲律賓統計局(PSA)表示,金融和保險業成長3.4%,公共管理和國防,特別是強制性社會保障,成長8.6%。 在主要經濟部門中,服務業年增4.5%,但農業下滑0.2%,工業年減0.1%。 凱投宏觀(Capital Economics)表示,菲律賓目前正經歷滯脹,即GDP成長放緩且非常疲軟,從而引發通貨膨脹飆升。 凱投宏觀在一份報告中指出:“即使中東危機很快結束,央行幾乎肯定會在近期再次升息。”
