景気動向指数、０．２ポイント上昇　１０月、３カ月連続改善―内閣府

　内閣府が７日発表した１０月の景気動向指数（２０２０年＝１００）速報値は、景気の現状を示す一致指数が前月比０．２ポイント上昇の１１５．９で、３カ月連続で改善した。ボイラーや金型など投資財の出荷が伸びた。基調判断は７カ月連続で「改善を示している」に据え置いた。
　一致指数では、８系列の経済指標のうち４系列がプラスに寄与。有効求人倍率の上昇や電子部品・デバイス工業での生産の伸びも指数を押し上げた。一方、小売業の販売額やアジア向けの輸出数量が減少したことがマイナス要因となった。（2023/12/07-16:39）

Japan's composite index of coincident economic indicators for October rose 0.2 point from the previous month, up for the third straight month, the Cabinet Office said Thursday.
   The rise mainly reflected strong shipments of investment goods such as boilers and metallic molds.
   The coincident index, which reflects current economic conditions, stood at 115.9 against 100 for the base year of 2020, the government agency said in a preliminary report.
   The Cabinet Office kept unchanged its view that the index is "improving."
   Four of the eight component indicators contributed positively to the coincident index, with a rise in effective job openings-to-seekers ratio and an increase in production within the electronic component and device sector also pushing up the index.
