全球經濟正處於能源衝擊、AI技術發展與高公共債務並存的複雜環境中。各國央行因應通膨壓力而採取緊縮貨幣政策,導致公債殖利率上升。
國際貨幣基金(IMF)主席喬治艾娃(Kristalina Georgieva)表示,全球經濟正陷入能源衝擊、人工智慧(AI)熱潮,以及高度舉債的拉鋸戰,全球公共債務占國內生產總值(GDP)比預計很快就會超過1倍,這些逆流將考驗各國的韌性。
喬治艾娃7日在新加坡的一場演說中表示,上述3大逆流將是下週於泰國首都曼谷舉行的IMF和世界銀行財金首長年會,各國財長和央行總裁討論的核心議題。她說:「這個10年全球差強人意的經濟成長率能否獲得改善,將取決於我們能否成功因應上述3大逆流:AI的迅速崛起、持續居高不下的能源價格,以及創紀錄的公共債務水準。」
中東衝突引發了比預期更久的能源危機,進一步加劇全球通膨,在俄烏戰爭的持續干擾下,帶來了另一波供應衝擊。這迫使多國央行不得不調升利率,並引發了市場對於未來將進一步升息的預期。
緊縮的金融條件加劇了市場對美國、日本、德國等先進經濟體財政狀況的擔憂,進而將其10年期公債殖利率推升至數十年來的高點,敲響了債市警鐘。喬治艾娃指出:「在預算吃緊,且包括國防在內的各項支出互相競爭之際,公債殖利率的走高正在推高利息成本。」
喬治艾娃說,目前,分散能源來源和啟動戰略儲油等措施,已抑制中東衝突引發的能源市場動盪,但波斯灣原油運輸仍不穩定,且原油價格仍維持在每桶100美元左右,「考慮到全球煉油產能的結構性短缺,我們面臨的將是柴油及其他精煉油品的零售價格紛紛創下歷史新高」,波斯灣的天然氣供應仍受到嚴重干擾,對亞洲和歐洲的衝擊尤其嚴峻。
採購經理人指數(PMI)等指標顯示,製造業對這波衝擊的抵禦能力相對良好。然而,隨著能源與其他投入成本持續攀升,企業能吸收的利潤壓力終究有限。許多公司已開始將這些成本轉嫁給消費者,進而擴大了通膨壓力,而這個難題目前尚無簡單的解決之道。
喬治艾娃指出,即使中東衝突能很快結束,高能源價格的問題可能持續一段時間,認為2027年布蘭特原油期貨價格會繼續走高;而隨著能源價格推高通膨,政策利率和指標公債殖利率也跟漲,美國、德國和日本10年期公債殖利率分別升至數十年來最高,預估將繼續走升。
