円安、６割超が「利益にマイナス」　１１０～１２０円台が適正―帝国データ調査

　帝国データバンクは１７日、円安に関する企業の影響アンケートの調査結果を発表した。昨今の円安進行について、６３．９％の企業が「利益にマイナス」と回答。適正な為替レートとしては「１ドル＝１１０～１２０円台」が約半数を占めた。
　現在も１ドル＝１５０円を超える円安が続いており、帝国データは「原材料などの価格上昇分を転嫁できる機運を高め、継続的な賃上げによる消費拡大、設備投資の増加につなげる必要がある」と指摘している。
　円安が利益に「プラス」と答えた企業の割合は７．７％、「影響なし」は２８．５％だった。売上高についても、マイナス影響が３５．０％と、プラスの１６．０％を大きく上回った。（2024/05/17-17:14）

A private-sector survey has found that 63.9 pct of Japanese companies are seeing negative profit impacts from the recent weakness of the yen.
   About half of responding companies believe that exchange rates of 110 yen to below 130 yen to the dollar are appropriate, according to the survey by Teikoku Databank Ltd. The dollar is currently trading above 150 yen.
   It is important to boost momentum for firms to reflect higher material costs in their product prices to ensure growth in consumption backed by continued wage hikes and in corporate capital spending, the research firm said.
   Only 7.7 pct said that yen's depreciation is a plus for their profits while 28.5 pct are seeing no impact.
   The proportion of companies seeing the yen's weakness adversely affect their sales and that of firms with positive sales impacts came to 35.0 pct and 16.0 pct, respectively.
