蒙特婁銀行表示,製造業和批發銷售的增加改善了加拿大2月的資料流。

-- 蒙特利爾銀行(BMO)在周三公佈製造業和批發銷售數據後表示,受這兩項數據的提振,2月加拿大經濟數據整體呈現好轉態勢。 該行指出,製造業產量較上季成長3.4%,但這僅部分扭轉了1月環比4.2%的跌幅,其中汽車產業的強勁反彈尤為顯著。 BMO也指出,批發銷量較上月成長1.1%,也基本扭轉了上月的跌幅。 BMO表示,零售數據仍待公佈,但預計2月經濟成長率約為0.2%,與加拿大統計局的初步預估一致(「工時有所下降,但加拿大統計局也指出當月採礦業表現強勁,可能存在變數」)。 BMO認為,如果2月份的零售數據表現“穩健”,則第一季整體經濟成長率將保持在1.5%左右,有望達到加拿大央行設定的1.8%的目標。
