4月3日,人民银行发布2023年第一季度企业家、银行家、城镇储户三份调查问卷。最新的问卷结果显示,今年以来,随着疫情形势的好转,经济发展动能持续向好,带动企业家、银行家和城镇储户群体对经济发展预期的回暖。
企业家调查问卷显示,今年一季度,企业家宏观经济热度指数为33.8%,环比上升10.3个百分点,其中,64.6%的企业家认为宏观经济“正常”。在企业经营方面,经营景气指数为49.2%,环比上升2.6个百分点。
银行家群体同样认为今年一季度宏观经济环比改善明显,且对二季度宏观经济预期继续转好。银行家调查问卷显示,银行家宏观经济热度指数为40.2%,环比上升22.8个百分点。其中,有62.8%的银行家认为当前宏观经济“正常”,环比增加29.6个百分点;有28.4%的银行家认为“偏冷”,环比减少37.6个百分点。对二季度,银行家宏观经济热度预期指数为50.9%,高于一季度10.7个百分点。
经济复苏动能保持向好势头,以及开年以来一系列促经济举措密集落地,带动贷款需求的明显回暖,以及银行景气度和盈利能力的转好。调查结果显示,当季贷款总体需求指数为78.4%,创自2014年一季度以来同期历史最高水平,环比上升19.0个百分点,同比上升6.1个百分点。其中,房地产企业贷款需求指数为55.3%,环比上升11.6个百分点,环比增幅靠前。
不过,值得注意的是,在被问及未来三个月准备增加何种支出项目时,旅游支出占比季度环比提升幅度最大,从上季度的占比13.3%跃升10.7个百分点至24%,显示出二季度居民出游意愿高涨。
另一个有意思的变化则是居民对二季度房价的看法,反映出居民对房价预期积极向好的变化。预期房价“上涨”的受访城镇储户的占比季度环比上升4.5个百分点至18.5%,相应的,预期房价“下降”的受访者占比环比下降4.1个百分点。预期房价“基本不变”的占比微升,“看不准”的受访居民占比则微降。
此外,当季城镇储户对收入感受、就业感受都明显回暖,当季收入感受指数环比上升6.9个百分点,收入信心指数为环比上升5.5个百分点;就业感受指数上升6.8个百分点,就业预期指数上升9.4个百分点。
