日銀総裁発言、論評せず　「家計は値上げ受け入れ」―松野官房長官

　松野博一官房長官は７日の記者会見で、日銀の黒田東彦総裁が物価上昇に関して「家計の値上げ許容度も高まっている」と発言したことについて、「政府としてコメントは差し控える」と述べた。その上で「原油価格や物価の高騰が民間消費や企業活動を下押しするなど、景気の下振れリスクには十分注意する必要がある」と指摘し、物価高対策を迅速に講じる考えを強調した。（2022/06/07-11:05）

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno on Tuesday refrained from commenting on Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda's remark suggesting that households in the country are accepting higher prices.
   In a speech in Tokyo on Monday, Kuroda said that "Japanese households' tolerance of price rises has been increasing" as firms adopt an increasingly active price-setting stance.
   "The government refrains from commenting" on the remark by Kuroda, Matsuno told a press conference Tuesday. "We need to be fully alert for downside risks for the economy, such as surges in prices of crude oil and other goods dampening consumption and corporate activities," the top government spokesman said, showing the government's plan to compile measures to tackle higher prices promptly.
   At a separate press conference Tuesday, agriculture minister Genjiro Kaneko also stopped short of commenting on the BOJ governor's remark in question.
   "Consumers and farm producers are having a tough time due to higher prices of fertilizers and flour as a whole, and my ministry is considering measures in response to the situation," Kaneko said.
