渣打刘健恒料未来数月本港失业率仍会维持高位
阿思达克 02-18 18:10
渣打大中华区高级经济师刘健恒表示,香港最新公布去年11月1至今年1月份的失业率升至7%,较市场一般预期为差,反映虽然中国经济正在改善,全球多地陆续展开疫苗接种计划,但是本地第四波疫情及随之收紧的社交限制措施对本地经济带来严重冲击。渣打估计本港失业率在未来数月仍会维持高位,甚至进一步上升,直至下半年经济情况才见好转。

他指,本港整体市场就业不足率在期内上升0.4个百分点至3.8%,消费及旅游相关行业的就业不足率更上升0.9个百分点至6.6%的纪录高位,显示本港劳动市场在短期内仍备受压力。尽管政府由今天起开始放宽部分社交限制措施,该行相信本港消费情况不会立即出现大幅改善,市民忧虑就业和经济前景而变得审慎理财,劳动市场将继续疲弱。
