Xero表示,新西兰小型企业持续缓慢复苏。

By

-- Xero周四表示,新西兰小型企业正缓慢复苏,并在去年下半年取得的改善基础上继续发展,3月份季度销售额增长3.9%,但不断攀升的燃油冲击风险仍不明朗。 根据Xero小型企业洞察(XSBI)的数据,就业人数的增加表明小型企业主对销售复苏的可持续性开始更有信心。然而,鉴于中东冲突引发的高油价,这种信心在未来几个月可能会受到考验。 该公司补充说,最新的消费者价格指数在3月份季度上涨了3.1%,但并未反映出普遍的通胀上升,这表明XSBI的销售增长是“经济活动真正改善”的指标,而不是由价格上涨驱动的。 各行业的销售额均有所增长,其中其他服务业和零售业的增幅最大,分别增长了5.4%和5.1%。 燃油价格上涨和燃油供应担忧带来的外部冲击正值经济持续增长之际,直接损害了小型企业的利益,导致成本上升和消费者在非燃油商品和服务上的支出减少。 该公司表示,这个依赖燃油进口的国家目前的燃油库存“充足”,并建议小型企业照常购买燃油。
