北京、上海11月消費雪崩,寬鬆政策難解內需困局

一連串政策刺激也難解?中國11月一線城市的零售數據持續放緩,政治中心所在的北京,以及經濟貿易重鎮上海消費需求更是雪崩,顯現近期的寬鬆政策仍難以有效提振國內消費。 根據中國國家統計局和北京、上海統計局公布的數據顯示,中國11月零售銷售年增3.0%,較前一期下滑1.8個百分點。 而作為一線城市的北京和上海則出現更為明顯的下滑,其中北京11月零售銷售年增率為-14.1%(前0.7%),上海為-13.5%(前10.9%)。 雖然大幅下滑的部分原因是受雙11促銷活動提前消費的影響,導致前月數據較高,但11月的增速仍遠低於9月,顯示整體消費放緩的趨勢更加明顯。 除了受房地產市場疲軟導致消費者信心低迷影響之外,部分經濟專家指出,外資的撤離也對一線城市的消費動能造成一定影響。由於外資高管多集中於北京和上海,這類高消費能力的人群離開後,勢必會對當地的整體消費需求產生顯著衝擊。 此外,年輕人口的流動性可能也是一個關鍵因素。在經濟穩定增長的階段,年輕人口的消費能力通常高於老年人口;但當經濟成長下行,一線城市的工作機會減少時,部分年輕人可能選擇離開這些城市尋找其他發展機會,進一步加劇了消費下滑的壓力。 儘管中國自9月以來推出了一系列寬鬆政策,內需消費仍未出現顯著改善,這也暗示中國今年實現5%的經濟成長目標仍存在挑戰。 針對經濟下行壓力,中國政府已在年末的中央經濟工作會議和政治局會議中承諾,將在明年採取更積極的財政政策和適度寬鬆的貨幣政策。儘管具體措施和規模尚未公布,但據路透社報導,中國政府可能在明年發行規模3兆人民幣的特別國債,以刺激內需消費、支持企業設備升級並提供投資資金。 Read more at Datatrack
