新西兰制造业连续第15个月扩张 工厂活动持续回稳
最新行业调查显示，新西兰制造业在9月连续第15个月录得扩张，延续了该行业近年较长的增长势头之一。调查编制方指出，订单趋稳与企业信心改善，是支撑工厂活动持续扩张的主要因素。
新西兰经济近年承受生活成本高企与消费支出疲弱的压力，制造业的这轮持续扩张被视为经济中一个温和的亮点。数据显示，工厂活动在此前一段较长的低迷期之后已经企稳。
经济学家表示，制造业若能维持增长势头，可对更广泛的就业与出口活动形成支持；但他们同时提醒，若全球需求转弱、或借贷成本在高位停留的时间超出预期，这股势头仍可能受到考验。
这项调查由行业机构定期发布，是观察新西兰工厂订单、产出与雇佣情况的先行指标之一，其荣枯线为50，高于50表示扩张。（GSM 据新西兰国家广播电台商业新闻报道）
New Zealand Manufacturing Expands for 15th Straight Month
New Zealand's manufacturing sector expanded for a 15th consecutive month in September, according to the latest industry survey reported by RNZ Business on October 17, extending one of the longest growth streaks the sector has recorded in recent years. Survey compilers pointed to steadier order books and improving business confidence as key drivers of the sustained expansion.
The data suggests factory activity has stabilised after a prolonged downturn earlier in the economic cycle. The streak offers a modest bright spot for New Zealand's broader economy, which has faced pressure from high living costs and sluggish consumer spending.
Economists said a sustained run of manufacturing growth can support wider employment and export activity, though momentum could be tested if global demand weakens or borrowing costs stay elevated for longer than expected. (GSM, based on RNZ Business reporting)
