日期：2026年6月11日Topic：澳大利亚2026年初零售支出与经营成本压力原文：Retail spending shows a steady start to 2026, according to the Australian Retail Council. Mr Fahey said retailers are navigating these economic uncertainties while already facing a cost-of-doing-business crisis. "Retailers are dealing with rising costs across energy, logistics, wages, rents and regulation, all while working hard to keep prices affordable for Australian households."January 2026 retail spending year-on-year shows: household goods retailing up 4.1%, other retailing up 7.8%, cafés and takeaway food services up 8.7%, clothing and footwear up 6.1%, and food retailing up 2.8%. By state, Queensland leads with up 5.9%, followed by Western Australia up 6.2%, Victoria up 4.4%, and NSW up 4.7%. The Council has called on the Federal Government to take steps to strengthen retail productivity and reduce unnecessary regulatory costs that ultimately flow onto prices on shelves.参考译文：澳大利亚零售委员会数据显示，2026年初零售支出开局平稳。Fahey先生表示，零售商在应对这些经济不确定性的同时，已经面临经营成本危机。"零售商正在应对能源、物流、工资、租金和监管方面的成本上涨，同时努力保持澳大利亚家庭能够负担的价格。"2026年1月零售支出同比数据显示：家庭用品零售增长4.1%，其他零售增长7.8%，咖啡馆和外卖食品服务增长8.7%，服装鞋类增长6.1%，食品零售增长2.8%。按州划分，昆士兰州以增长5.9%领先，其次是西澳州增长6.2%、维多利亚州增长4.4%和新南威尔士州增长4.7%。该委员会呼吁联邦政府采取措施提高零售业生产力，并减少最终会转嫁到货架价格上的不必要的监管成本。
