個人の金融資産、過去最高　３月末、２１９９兆円―日銀

　日銀が２７日発表した１～３月期の資金循環統計（速報）によると、３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７．１％増の２１９９兆円だった。株価上昇を背景に株式や投資信託などの残高が拡大。統計データの見直しも反映し、５四半期連続の過去最高となった。
　一方、３月末時点の日銀の国債（国庫短期証券を除く）保有割合は５３．２５％と、２四半期連続で減少した。
　個人金融資産の内訳は、株式等が３３．７％増の３１３兆円、投資信託が３１．５％増の１１９兆円。１月に新しい少額投資非課税制度（ＮＩＳＡ）が始まったほか、日経平均株価が３月に史上最高値を更新するなど、株価上昇を受けていずれも過去最高となった。また、現金・預金は１．１％増の１１１８兆円。保険は円安で外貨建て保険の残高が押し上げられ、１．０％増の３８２兆円だった。（2024/06/27-11:19）

Financial assets held by Japanese households as of the end of March grew 7.1 pct from a year earlier to 2,199 trillion yen, hitting a record high for five consecutive quarters, Bank of Japan data showed Thursday.
   The balances of shareholdings and investment trust funds increased on higher stock prices. The record-breaking advance also reflected revisions to some underlying statistical data.
   Shareholdings went up 33.7 pct to 313 trillion yen, and investment trusts gained 31.5 pct to 119 trillion yen. Both broke their records as the Nikkei 225 stock average logged a record high in March after the launch of the new Nippon Individual Savings Account tax exemption program for small-lot investors in January.
   The balance of cash and deposits expanded 1.1 pct to 1,118 trillion yen. Insurance policies saw a rise of 1.0 pct to 382 trillion yen as a weaker yen pushed up the balance of foreign currency-denominated policies in force.
   On the contrary, the proportion of Japanese government bonds held by the BOJ excluding treasury discount bills fell for two consecutive quarters to log 53.25 pct. Of the total balance of 1,082 trillion yen, the BOJ held 576 trillion yen.
