台湾6月零售额同比下降2.9%,这是连续第三个月萎缩,5月修正后下降1.4%。经济持续不确定性、消费者情绪低迷、进口汽车交货延迟以及假期较去年同期缩短都是造成这一下滑的原因。汽车和摩托车(5月份为-17.3%对-18.0%)、纺织品和服装(-6.3%对0.8%)、药品、医疗用品和化妆品(-0.9%对4.2%)以及家用电器和商品(-2.0%对-0.8%)的销售额大幅下降。一般商品(1.9%对6.5%)、食品、饮料和烟草(7.7%对11.5%)以及电子和家用电器(2.6%对4.1%)的销售势头减弱。相比之下,其他零售类别(6.8%对3.5%)和建筑材料(4.5%对3.3%)的增长加速,而非商店零售的销售额反弹(4.9%对-1.7%)。按月计算,6月份零售活动下降1.5%,扭转了5月份2.9%的增长。
Retail sales in Taiwan fell by 2.9% year-on-year in June, marking the third consecutive month of contraction and following a revised 1.4% drop in May. The downturn was driven by persistent economic uncertainty, subdued consumer sentiment, delayed deliveries of imported vehicles, and a shorter holiday compared to the same period last year. Sales slumped for motor vehicles and motorcycles (-17.3% vs -18.0% in May), textiles and clothing (-6.3% vs 0.8%), pharmaceutical, medical goods and cosmetics (-0.9% vs 4.2%), and household appliances and goods (-2.0% vs -0.8%). Sales momentum weakened in general merchandise (1.9% vs 6.5%), food, beverages and tobacco (7.7% vs 11.5%), and electronics and home appliances (2.6% vs 4.1%). In contrast, growth accelerated in other retail categories (6.8% vs 3.5%) and construction materials (4.5% vs 3.3%), while sales in non-store retail rebounded (4.9% vs -1.7%). On a monthly basis, retail activity declined 1.5% in June, reversing the 2.9% gain in May.
