美高额关税施压下,这国企业投资意愿降温
作者：微信文章今日主播孙昌岳：
瑞士机械与电气工业协会最新调查显示，31%的受访企业正计划将部分业务迁至境外，以应对竞争力持续下滑的严峻挑战。此项调查共覆盖385家会员企业，清晰反映出瑞士机械、电气和金属行业整体的情绪动向。数据显示，今年第二季度，瑞士技术行业订单环比骤降13%，销售额已连续9个季度下滑，预计未来数月行业衰退或将加剧。作为高度依赖出口的经济体，瑞士长期保持较大贸易顺差，出口导向型科技行业受外部环境影响尤为明显。本月初，美国政府宣布对瑞士部分产品加征高达39%的关税，远高于欧盟国家的15%，进一步挤压企业生存空间。压力之下，企业投资意愿急剧降温。安永报告显示，近70%的瑞士企业已推迟或取消投资计划。不少企业正积极拓展新市场、调整业务结构，甚至考虑裁员和迁移生产基地，以应对当前复杂国际经贸环境的挑战。
