鉱工業生産、１．８％上昇　２カ月ぶり、基調判断は維持―昨年１２月

　経済産業省が３１日発表した２０２３年１２月の鉱工業生産指数速報値（２０年＝１００、季節調整済み）は１０５．９と、前月比１．８％上昇した。半導体製造装置や物流・工場向けコンベヤーなどが好調で、２カ月ぶりのプラス。生産の基調判断は「一進一退」で据え置いた。ダイハツ工業がすべての国内工場で生産を停止している影響で、今月の企業の生産計画がマイナスに陥ると見込まれることなどを踏まえた。
　１２月の生産は全１５業種のうち、汎用（はんよう）・業務用機械工業や生産用機械工業など１２業種で上昇した。自動車工業も１．２％上昇と、堅調だった。（2024/01/31-12:00）

Japan's industrial production in December last year rose 1.8 pct from the previous month, led by increases in output of chipmaking equipment and conveyers for logistics facilities and factories, government data showed Wednesday.
   The seasonally adjusted production index for the manufacturing and mining sectors stood at 105.9 against 100 for the base year of 2020, the industry ministry said in a preliminary report. In November, the index fell 0.9 pct.
   Industrial production is showing ups and downs, the ministry said.
   The basic assessment was left unchanged, partly because production in January is projected to fall due to the suspensions of all domestic automobile plants of Daihatsu Motor Co. over its fraudulent safety testing.
   In December, production grew in 12 of the 15 surveyed industries. Output at general-purpose and business-oriented machinery makers rose 9.3 pct, and that at the automotive sector expanded 1.2 pct.
