-- 蒙特利爾銀行(BMO)指出,加拿大聯邦政府將於週二晚些時候發布財政更新報告,該行預計報告中赤字數據將「好於預期」。 BMO的羅伯特·卡夫西奇表示:「與此次更新前對2026/27財年654億加元赤字的預估相比,財政狀況似乎有所好轉。在石油危機爆發之前,財政狀況明顯優於預期。4月至次年2月期間(即本財年的前11個月),赤字為255億加元,僅比上一年加元的同期加元。幅度可能較大,但與2025/26財年預計的783億加元赤字相比,似乎也存在顯著的改善空間,而這一赤字可能會延續到下一個財年。 「正是因為這些額外的空間,渥太華才在此次更新前積極推出了一些新措施。」這包括暫時取消燃油消費稅(預計耗資約24億加元);更慷慨的商品及服務稅(GST)退稅;以及對新建住房的統一銷售稅(HST)減免和與安大略省達成的基礎設施協議。 同時,總理馬克·卡尼宣布計劃設立加拿大首個主權財富基金。根據蒙特利爾銀行(BMO)報告,為了減少對外部市場的經濟依賴並提高生產力,「加拿大強大基金」將與私營部門合作夥伴一起,投資於包括基礎設施、能源、採礦、農業和科技在內的重大項目。
