鉱工業生産、２カ月ぶり低下　ボーイング機事故が影響―４月

　経済産業省が３１日発表した４月の鉱工業生産指数速報値（２０２０年＝１００、季節調整済み）は１０１．６と、前月比０．１％低下した。米航空機大手ボーイングの機体が飛行中に破損した米国での事故の影響に加え、ダイハツ工業の不正認証に伴う工場の稼働停止などが響き、２カ月ぶりのマイナスだった。生産の基調判断は「一進一退ながら弱含んでいる」に据え置いた。
　全１５業種のうち７業種が低下した。輸送機械工業は航空機用部品を中心に１３．４％、自動車工業は０．６％それぞれ低下した。汎用（はんよう）・業務用機械工業や電気・情報通信機械工業は前月が好調だった反動が出た。出荷は０．２％のプラス、在庫は０．５％マイナスだった。（2024/05/31-12:58）

Japan's industrial production in April fell 0.1 pct from the previous month, down for the first time in two months, the industry ministry said Friday.
   The seasonally adjusted production index for the manufacturing and mining sectors came to 101.6, against the 2020 base of 100, the ministry said in a preliminary report.
   The ministry maintained its view on industrial production, saying it has weakened while fluctuating indecisively.
   The lackluster result was due in part to an accident in the United States in which a plane made by U.S. aircraft giant Boeing Co. was damaged during its flight and suspended plant operations at Daihatsu Motor Co. in response to the Japanese automaker's vehicle testing scandal.
   Of the 15 surveyed industries, production fell at seven industries. The transport machinery sector saw a 13.4 pct fall mainly because of weak production of aircraft parts.
