西太平洋銀行稱,澳洲信用卡交易活動顯示非必需消費支出成長放緩跡象

By

-- 根據週三發布的一份報告,澳洲信用卡消費活動顯示出非必需消費支出成長放緩的跡象。西太平洋銀行-DataX信用卡追蹤指數在截至4月25日的兩週內上漲2.1點,扭轉了先前的下滑趨勢。 截至4月底,季度成長動能依然疲軟,約1%,低於第一季的1.2%,也低於前三個季度2%的平均水準。 同時,由於燃油價格波動,每月成長呈現更大的波動性。燃油價格在3月飆升,然後在4月因消費稅下調和需求下降而回落。 最近一週的數據顯示,季減了1%。 過去六週的數據顯示,非必需消費類別的成長放緩更為明顯,尤其是非必需服務類消費,儘管燃油和電力市場仍在持續活躍,但這些類別的消費已出現全面萎縮。
