President Donald Trump’s reciprocal levies will likely weigh on economic growth and push up prices while hammering the global economy, according to Bloomberg Economics.
總統川普的對等關稅將可能衝擊經濟成長、推升物價，同時重創全球經濟，根據「彭博經濟研究」（BE）的分析。
The tariffs announced Friday, which run from 10% to 41% and mark the highest rates since World War II, would increase the average US duty to 15.2% from 2.3% in 2024, according to analysis by Maeva Cousin, chief trade economist at BE.
週五宣布從10％至41％，並標示著二戰以來最高稅率的關稅，將使美國平均關稅從2024的2.3％增加至15.2％，BE首席貿易經濟學家梅瓦．庫森進行的分析顯示。
That would cut US GDP by 1.8% and boost core prices by 1.1% over two to three years, the analysis showed. Globally, the higher import taxes are set to sap demand across trading partner economies.
這將在2到3年期間，縮減美國國內生產毛額（GDP）1.8％，並推升核心物價1.1％，該分析顯示。全球而言，較高的進口稅將削弱貿易夥伴經濟體的需求。
“The tariffs will deliver a major blow to global GDP,” Cousin wrote in a Friday research note. “For many US trading partners, the higher tariffs create downside risks to demand — which will weigh on both activity and inflation.”
「關稅將對全球GDP造成重大打擊」，庫森在週五的研究報告中寫到。「對許多美國貿易夥伴而言，較高的關稅製造了需求下行風險，這將影響（經濟）活動與通膨。」
