美國(guó)日前公布的最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示,4月份政府收入實(shí)現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng),但預(yù)算赤字繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大;3月份美國(guó)貿(mào)易逆差增長(zhǎng)了28億美元。貿(mào)易逆差和財(cái)政赤字的雙高給美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)前景添堵。

last month,The monthly deficit was smaller than April 2010‘s shortfall of $82.69
billion,the deficit was the 31st monthly short-fall in a row.Tax refunds last

4月份支出超過(guò)收入404.9億美元,但赤字額低于上年同期的826.9億美元,為連續(xù)第31個(gè)月出現(xiàn)赤字。當(dāng)月退稅額下降,同時(shí)非扣繳稅收上升。(《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》)
盡管4月份美國(guó)政府收入實(shí)現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng),但預(yù)算赤字繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大。
So far in fiscal 2011,the U.S. has collec-ted $1.31
trillion and spent $2.18
trillion.
2011財(cái)年截至目前的政府收入為1.31萬(wàn)億美元,支出為2.18萬(wàn)億美元。(《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》)
市場(chǎng)人士目前寄望就業(yè)市場(chǎng)復(fù)蘇,政府能夠通過(guò)增加個(gè)人所得稅收入改善財(cái)政窘境。
The US trade deficit rose by $2.8bn to $48.2 bn in
March,in an indication of how surging oilprices are holding back the
economy.
3月份,美國(guó)貿(mào)易逆差增長(zhǎng)了28億美元,至482億美元,表明油價(jià)飆升正在拖累美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。(《金融時(shí)報(bào)》)
石油進(jìn)口上升,加之油價(jià)每桶上漲了6美元,使得美國(guó)的逆差增加了58億美元。出口額雖然也強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)4.6%,且終于恢復(fù)到危機(jī)前的水平,但與進(jìn)口規(guī)模相比就小了很多。
“The deficit was wider not because export growth slowed but
because import growth accelerated.This implies that more of the stim-ulus that
has been applied to the economy has leaked overseas,”Ricchiuto said,chief
economist at Mizuho Securities in New
York.
“貿(mào)易逆差擴(kuò)大,不是因?yàn)槌隹谠鲩L(zhǎng)放緩,而是因?yàn)檫M(jìn)口增長(zhǎng)提速。這意味著經(jīng)濟(jì)刺激措施的效應(yīng)大多溢出到海外去了,”瑞穗證券首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家斯蒂芬?里基烏托說(shuō)。(《金融時(shí)報(bào)》)
刺激效應(yīng)外溢不僅反映在貿(mào)易層面,目前全球流動(dòng)性泛濫造成的大宗商品價(jià)格巨幅震蕩也與此外溢效應(yīng)有關(guān)。
Pierre Ellis,senior global economist at De-cision
Economics in New York,said the trade data could provide ammunition for members
of the Federal Reserve board that want to tighten monetary policy to curb the
threat of in flation.
紐約Decision Economics的資深全球分析師Pierre
Ellis表示,貿(mào)易數(shù)據(jù)可能給予主張緊縮政策以抑制通脹威脅的美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)官員更多論據(jù)。(路透社)
備受關(guān)注的美國(guó)對(duì)華貿(mào)易逆差3月略收窄至181億美元。分析師稱,3月貿(mào)易逆差大于預(yù)期,不太可能明顯改變美國(guó)疲弱的第一季經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)數(shù)據(jù)。
