2026年3月,澳大利亚消费者信心猛跌至68.5,这是自2020年3月以来的最低水平,其驱动因素是,在通货膨胀不断上升,尤其是与中东紧张局势有关的油价上涨,导致对个人财政和经济的看法恶化。 Australian consumer confidence plunged to 68.5 in March 2026, its lowest level since March 2020, driven by worsening views on personal finances and the economy amid rising inflation, particularly from higher petrol prices linked to Middle East tensions. 净26%的人说,他们的家庭情况更糟,43%的人预计明年个人财政将下降,这是1989年以来最高的一年。 A net 26% said their families are worse off, while 43% expect personal finances to decline in the next year—the highest since 1989. 明年只有5%预计经济时期好,五年内只有8%,两者都创历史新低。 Only 5% anticipate good economic times in the next year, and just 8% over five years, both record lows. 商业信心也急剧下降到88.6,其五年来最弱,大多数州和部门表现的乐观情绪下降。 Business confidence also fell sharply to 88.6, its weakest in over five years, with most states and sectors showing declining optimism. 澳大利亚储备银行预计将将其现金利率提高到4.1%,以对抗通货膨胀,尽管家庭情绪减弱。 The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to raise its cash rate to 4.1% to combat inflation, despite weakening household sentiment.
