-- 蒙特利尔银行(BMO)在周三公布制造业和批发销售数据后表示,受这两项数据的提振,2月份加拿大经济数据整体呈现好转态势。 该行指出,制造业产量环比增长3.4%,但这仅部分扭转了1月份环比4.2%的跌幅,其中汽车行业的强劲反弹尤为显著。 BMO还指出,批发销量环比增长1.1%,也基本扭转了上月的跌幅。 BMO表示,零售数据仍待公布,但预计2月份经济增长率约为0.2%,与加拿大统计局的初步预估一致(“工时有所下降,但加拿大统计局也指出当月采矿业表现强劲,这可能存在变数”)。 BMO认为,如果2月份的零售数据表现“稳健”,则第一季度整体经济增长率将保持在1.5%左右,有望达到加拿大央行设定的1.8%的目标。
