昨年末の個人金融資産、過去最高　２１４１兆円、株価上昇で―日銀

　日銀が２１日発表した２０２３年１０～１２月期の資金循環統計（速報）によると、１２月末時点で個人（家計部門）が保有する金融資産の残高は前年同月末比５．１％増の２１４１兆円だった。好調な企業業績などを背景に株価が上昇し、５四半期連続で過去最高を更新した。一方、昨年末時点の日銀による国債（国庫短期証券を除く）の保有割合は５３．７８％だった。
　個人金融資産の内訳は、現金・預金が冬のボーナスの増加などを背景に１．０％増の１１２７兆円と過去最高を更新。また、株価上昇を受け、投資信託が２２．４％増の１０６兆円、株式等が２９．２％増の２７６兆円と、いずれも大幅に増加し過去最高となった。保険は０．７％増の３８１兆円。円安進行で外貨建て保険が押し上げた。（2024/03/21-10:57）

Financial assets held by households in Japan at the end of last year rose 5.1 pct from a year before to 2,141 trillion yen thanks to higher stock prices, hitting a record high for the fifth straight quarter, the Bank of Japan said Thursday.
   Of the total, cash and deposits grew 1.0 pct to a record high of 1,127 trillion yen due to higher winter bonus payments.
   Investment trusts climbed 22.4 pct to 106 trillion yen and stocks gained 29.2 pct to 276 trillion yen, both hitting a record high, reflecting higher share prices.
   Insurance policies edged up 0.7 pct to 381 trillion yen as a weaker yen pushed up contracts denominated in foreign currencies.
   The central bank held 581 trillion yen, or 53.78 pct, of 1,081 trillion yen in outstanding government bonds at the end of last year, its second-highest share following 53.86 pct at the end of September. The share was above 50 pct for the sixth consecutive quarter.
