８月消費支出、３．０％減　４度目の緊急事態宣言で―総務省

　総務省が８日発表した８月の家計調査によると、１世帯（２人以上）当たりの消費支出は２６万６６３８円となり、物価変動の影響を除いた実質で前年同月比３．０％減少した。２カ月ぶりのマイナス。新型コロナウイルスの爆発的な感染拡大に伴う４度目の緊急事態宣言の発令で、消費が冷え込んだ。
　品目別で見ると、食料は３．２％減。外出自粛の広がりで、外食が１３．４％減となったことが響いた。教養娯楽も３．９％減で、夏休み中の旅行が控えられ、宿泊料（３４．４％減）が大幅に落ち込んだ。
　交通・通信は３．４％減。半導体不足に伴う供給制約の影響で自動車等購入（４２．９％減）が不振だった。家具・家事用品も９．０％減に低迷。前年の特別定額給付金の支給で盛り上がった家電製品の需要が一巡した。（2021/10/08-11:37）
