西太平洋銀行稱,燃油價格上漲推動了3月紐西蘭電子零售卡消費額的成長。

-- 西太平洋銀行(Westpac)週五發布的報告顯示,3月紐西蘭電子零售卡消費整體成長主要受燃油支出上漲的推動,當月零售支出成長0.7%,略高於先前0.5%的預期。 該銀行表示:“不出所料,由於汽油價格當月飆升近19%,燃油支出增長超過17%。” 西太平洋銀行指出,剔除燃油和車輛支出後的核心支出環比小幅下降0.1%,而消費品和耐久財支出的成長被餐飲和服飾店支出的下降所抵銷。 該銀行補充道,3月的業績意味著第一季零售支出成長1%,創下自2024年12月前三個月以來的最強勁季度表現。 西太平洋銀行預計,至少在短期內,高漲的燃油價格將繼續給家庭預算帶來壓力。該行也繼續預計,儘管較高的價格支撐了支出價值,但本季消費者支出量仍將略有下降。
