1012 ET——加拿大年度平均时薪增长在8月回落至2%，这一变化被RSM Canada经济学家Tu Nguyen形容为“骤然下滑”。此前数年，该国薪资增幅一直维持在3%以上。Nguyen指出，这“反映出企业心态趋于谨慎，劳动力市场也愈发平衡”。
最新数据表明，受汽油价格推动，加拿大整体通胀率目前处于3%的水平。但Nguyen认为，薪资增长放缓有望稳定通胀预期——薪资涨幅收窄有助于令企业成本维持稳定，降低企业将成本压力转嫁至消费者的必要性，进而对整体价格水平形成抑制。
这种局面的出现，意味着劳动力成本压力正在减轻，经济运行中的价格传导链条也变得更加温和。分析人士指出，在薪资与通胀相互作用的动态平衡中，这一转变或为加拿大央行提供更大的政策操作空间。
