金十数据5月3日讯，欧洲央行副行长金多斯表示，欧洲央行有信心将通胀率恢复到2%的目标水平。虽 然最新的预测已预见到今年年底（通胀）的降幅将接近这一水平，但欧元走强、大宗商品价格下跌和经 济不确定性将进一步抑制物价。他表示，这将是决定是否继续降息的 "决定性因素"。金多斯说："我们 乐观地认为，我们将持续实现通胀目标。"金多斯还表示："不确定性对经济总是不利的。我们在3月份 的预测中已经指出了这些下行风险。这些风险现在正在成为现实。我们的基准情景继续假设经济增长非 常低，但是为正——明显低于潜在增长。但我不认为欧元区会陷入衰退。我们正密切关注受工资影响很 大的服务业通胀。这里的工资增长也在放缓。此外，我们不追求汇率目标，但我们正在密切关注汇率。 这是评估物价稳定风险的重要经济指标。关键是保持低汇率波动。"金多斯认为，央行的独立性至关重 要。这是信誉的关键，因此也是对抗通胀的关键。 欧洲央行副行长金多斯：欧洲央行可以对通胀持乐观态度 ...

改写文章 导语 2025年4月26日，中国宏观经济研究院院长黄汉权在论坛上发表一番激烈言论，瞬间引发广泛关注："不要让加班挤占了消费时间，富人买游艇别墅无妨， 真正需要的是中低收入者能赚到钱！"这一言论立刻在网络上引发热议。年轻人一方面抱怨"加班让他们无暇消费"，而专家则提出"富人消费能带动经 济"。然而，这背后究竟隐藏着怎样的经济奥秘？ 一、中等收入困境：月薪过万，消费却像月薪五千？ 黄汉权为中等收入群体勾画了一幅真实的生活画面：尽管他们月收入不低，但房贷、子女教育、医疗等高额支出让他们喘不过气，尤其是"996"工作模式 成了常态。结果，尽管手头有钱，但却"有钱无暇"成为了普遍现象。 一些网友的亲身经历说明了这一现象："上周买的电影票，由于加班到深夜错过了。" "在618囤的纸巾，居然到了今年的双11还没用完。"这种消费现象显 示了中等收入群体的无奈。 黄汉权提出了三条建议： 1. 工资应随GDP增长： 以北京某IT公司为例，试行"利润10%转员工分红"政策后，员工的消费水平增长了25%； 2. 推动"定时熄灯"： 深圳某科技园的公司实行晚上7点自动断电，员工可以多出3小时的时间用于购物和聚会； 3. 提高 ...

新华社布鲁塞尔4月30日电 题：美关税不确定性给欧洲经济前景蒙上阴影 新华社记者康逸 单玮怡 丁英华 欧洲央行4月宣布降息25个基点，是自去年6月以来第七次降息。市场普遍预计，欧洲央行将在6月的货 币政策会议上再度降息。许多经济专家指出，这是在特朗普发起全球贸易战背景下的"被动防守"之举。 鉴于实体经济和金融市场面临的风险，欧洲央行需要发出更强烈的信号并采取多种措施推动经济发展。 欧盟统计局4月30日公布的初步数据显示，今年第一季度欧元区国内生产总值（GDP）环比增长0.4%。 尽管经济表现好于预期，但欧元区4月经济信心持续下降，达到近期低点。 分析人士指出，随着美国全面加征关税以及相关政策反复无常带来的不确定性持续增加，贸易紧张局势 加剧，欧洲脆弱的复苏希望再次受到威胁，经济增长前景蒙上阴影。 出口"抢跑"驱动 勉强避免停滞 有分析指出，欧元区一季度经济增速高于市场预期，主要得益于欧洲出口商在美国关税政策实施前加紧 出货，推动净出口上扬。 欧元区主要经济体中，西班牙表现最为亮眼，GDP环比增长0.6%；意大利经济增长0.3%；德国和法国 两大欧洲经济引擎继续表现低迷，仅分别增长0.2%和0.1%。 欧盟统计 ...
