個人金融資産、１９４６兆円　２０年度末、過去最高―日銀

　日銀が２５日発表した資金循環統計によると、２０２０年度末の個人（家計部門）の金融資産残高は前年度末比７．１％増の１９４６兆円となり、過去最高を更新した。将来不安や新型コロナウイルス禍で消費が抑制され現金・預金が増えたほか、株価上昇で株式や投資信託の残高が大きく伸びた。
　日銀は今回、新たに入手したデータなどに基づき過去にさかのぼって数値の改定を実施。直近１年間の個人金融資産残高は１０兆～１５兆円程度下方改定されたという。
　個人金融資産の内訳は、現金・預金が５．５％増の１０５６兆円。株価上昇で株式等は３２．１％増の１９５兆円と大幅に増え、投資信託は３３．９％増の８４兆円と過去最高となった。ただ、家計の株・投信の保有割合は小さく、資産全体の押し上げ効果は限定的だった。（2021/06/25-11:06）

Financial assets held by households in Japan at the March 31 end of fiscal 2020 rose 7.1 pct from a year before to hit a record high of 1,946 trillion yen, Bank of Japan data showed Friday.
   Cash and deposits held by households increased, with many people becoming more budget-minded due to concerns over the future and the new coronavirus epidemic.
   Higher stock prices also pushed up the market value of shares and investment trust funds held by them.
   The BOJ revised past statistics on household financial assets using newly acquired data. The balance of such assets over the past year was revised down by some 10 trillion to 15 trillion yen, according to the central bank.
   Of the total balance at the end of March, cash and deposits, which make up a majority of the household financial assets, grew 5.5 pct to 1,056 trillion yen.
