６月都内物価、２．１％上昇　電気・ガス代が値上がり―総務省

　総務省が２８日発表した６月の東京都区部消費者物価指数（中旬速報値、２０２０年＝１００）は、価格変動の大きい生鮮食品を除く総合指数が１０７．０と、前年同月比２．１％上昇した。３４カ月連続のプラス。電気代やガス代の値上がりで、伸び率は前月（１．９％）を上回った。
　電気・ガス代を抑制する政府補助金が半減されたことなどが響き、電気代は１０．８％上昇。都市ガス代は３．８％上昇と、１年１カ月ぶりにプラスに転じた。エネルギー全体は７．５％上昇。電気・ガス補助金は５月使用分（６月請求分）まででいったん終了するが、政府は８月使用分から３カ月間、補助を再開する方針。電気・ガス代支援策が今後も物価動向に影響しそうだ。（2024/06/28-11:07）

Core consumer prices in central Tokyo in June rose 2.1 pct from a year before, up for the 34th straight month, the internal affairs ministry said Friday.
   The core consumer price index, which excludes often volatile fresh food prices, stood at 107.0 for Tokyo's 23 densely populated special wards, against 100 for the base year of 2020.
   The pace of rise in the core CPI was faster than 1.9 pct in May mainly because of higher electricity and gas charges.
   Electricity rates jumped 10.8 pct and city gas prices were up 3.8 pct as government subsidies aimed at reducing the burden of those charges were cut by half. Overall energy prices rose 7.5 pct.
   While the government has decided to suspend the subsidies after providing them for electricity and gas used in May, for which the charges were billed in June, it plans to bring back such financial aid for three months from usage in August.
