１月の消費支出６．９％増　交通・外食伸びる―総務省

　総務省が１１日発表した１月の２人以上世帯の家計調査によると、１世帯当たりの消費支出は２８万７８０１円で、物価変動の影響を除いた実質で前年同月比６．９％増加した。プラスは６カ月ぶり。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大に伴う緊急事態宣言が発令された前年に比べ、交通や外食などが伸びた。
　消費支出の内訳は、交通・通信が３２．２％増。携帯電話機のほか、外出機会の増加でガソリンなどの自動車関係費が大幅なプラスだった。外食は２９．０％増。被服・履物も５．９％増だった。
　一方、光熱・水道は３．４％減。巣ごもりが減り、電気代や灯油がマイナスとなった。食料関係はマグロ、ブリ、タマネギ、トマトなどが減少した。
　同省は「外出機会が増えて（全体の）数字は伸びているが、コロナ感染拡大前ほどでない」と指摘した。コロナ禍前の１９年同月比ではパック旅行費や飲酒代が７割減、鉄道運賃も４割減で、サービスや交通関連の落ち込みが続いている。（2022/03/11-11:12）

Household spending in Japan in January increased 6.9 pct from a year before in price-adjusted real terms, as expenditures on transportation and eating out grew from January 2021 when parts of the country were under a COVID-19 state of emergency, government data showed Friday.
   Consumption spending by households comprising two or more members averaged 287,801 yen in January this year, marking its first growth in six months, the internal affairs ministry said.
   Spending on transportation and communications surged 32.2 pct, thanks to increased handset purchases and larger spending on automobile-related items such as gasoline.
   Expenditures on eating out jumped 29.0 pct, while spending on clothing and footwear went up 5.9 pct.
   Spending on fuel, light and water charges fell 3.4 pct, led by declines in electricity bills and kerosene purchases, as less people stayed home due to the reopening of the economy and society.
