本港首季經濟預估按年收縮4%
政府統計處公佈,根據預先估計數字,今年第一季本地生產總值較上年同期實質下跌4.0%,而去年第四季則上升4.7%。本地生產總值下跌是由於內部及對外需求均表現疲弱所致。
按本地生產總值各個主要組成部分分析,私人消費開支在今年第一季與上年同期比較實質下跌5.4%,而去年第四季則上升5.3%。
按國民經濟覈算定義計算的政府消費開支,繼去年第四季上升4.1%後,在今年第一季與上年同期比較實質上升5.9%。
本地固定資本形成總額,在今年第一季與上年同期比較實質下跌8.3%,較去年第四季0.6%的跌幅加劇。
同期,按國民經濟覈算定義計算,貨品出口總額與上年同期比較錄得4.5%的實質跌幅,而去年第四季則上升13.5%。按國民經濟覈算定義計算,貨品進口繼去年第四季上升9.9%後,在今年第一季實質下跌5.9%。
服務輸出在今年第一季與上年同期比較實質下跌2.8%,而去年第四季則上升6.9%。服務輸入在今年第一季實質下跌2.8%,而去年第四季則上升4.5%。
經季節性調整而作相連季度比較的本地生產總值,在今年第一季較去年第四季實質下跌2.9%。
政府發言人表示,香港經濟在今年第一季面對巨大壓力。外圍方面,環球需求增長放緩,加上疫情對跨境運輸造成幹擾,嚴重拖累出口表現。本地方面,本地第五波疫情及因而實施的防疫措施,嚴重打擊廣泛的經濟活動和經濟氣氛。根據預先估計數字,實質本地生產總值在今年第一季按年收縮4.0%,終止先前連續四季的按年增長走勢。經季節性調整後按季比較,實質本地生產總值下跌2.9%,上一季則幾無變動。
按主要開支組成部分分析,整體貨物出口下跌,服務輸出亦見收縮。本地方面,私人消費開支轉跌,整體投資開支跌幅擴大。
展望未來,環球經濟在短期內將繼續面對重大挑戰。通脹肆虐,促使主要央行加快收緊貨幣政策,爲經濟前景帶來壓力。此外,烏克蘭的緊張局勢料會令國際能源和大宗商品價格維持高企,加劇對供應鏈的幹擾,並打擊經濟氣氛。環球疫情的變化和中美關係的發展將繼續帶來不確定性。
今年第一季本地生產總值的修訂數字和更詳細的統計數字,以及今年全年本地生產總值的修訂預測,將會在今年5月13日公佈。
