陳茂波:減息屬利好消息

美國調低聯邦基金利率至4.5%,本港基本利率相應設定於4.5%。財政司司長陳茂波表示,高利息環境已持續一段長時間,減息顯示息口開始回落,對營商環境、供樓人士屬利好消息。

 

陳茂波今日出席施政報告相關記者會時被問到對減息的看法。他回應指,港元與美元掛鉤,利息走勢很大程度受美國牽動,但並非亦步亦趨,以往美國加息香港並不一定跟隨,即使加息,幅度也未必完全一樣。這次雖然方向一致,惟具體幅度和速度要審時度勢,視乎本港市場資金狀況,當局也會留意外圍情況。

 

談及經濟預測,陳茂波說,香港上半年經濟表現不錯,尤其是貨物出口、服務輸出,股票市場向好,加上訪港旅客多,上半年本地生產總值增長約3%,目前無意調整全年本地生產總值增長預估數字。
