景気動向指数１．３ポイント上昇　基調「下げ止まり」に上方修正―５月

　内閣府が５日発表した５月の景気動向指数（２０２０年＝１００）速報値は、景気の現状を示す一致指数が前月比１．３ポイント上昇の１１６．５となり、３カ月連続で改善した。認証不正問題で生産が停止していた自動車の出荷再開が進み、１９年９月以来の高水準。基調判断も４月の「下方への局面変化を示している」から「下げ止まりを示している」に上方修正した。
　速報段階で反映させた８系列の経済指標のうち６系列がプラスに寄与した。車だけでなくカーナビゲーションや照明など周辺機器の生産や出荷が増え、関連する３指標が上昇。商業販売関連２指標も車や半導体が好調で増加した。タービンなどの投資財出荷も堅調だった。一方、米国や欧州、アジア向けが減った輸出と有効求人倍率の２指標はマイナスに寄与した。（2024/07/05-17:04）

Japan's composite index of coincident economic indicators rose 1.3 points from the previous month to 116.5 in May, up for the third consecutive month, the Cabinet Office said in a preliminary report Friday.
   The index for the current economic conditions rose to the highest level since September 2019, reflecting resumptions of vehicle shipments after production halts due to test fraud scandals.
   The government agency revised up its assessment of the index to "halting to fall" from "signaling a possible turning point."
   Of the eight component indicators available in the preliminary report, six contributed positively to the index. Three of them were boosted by increases in production and shipments of vehicles and related devices such as car navigation systems.
   Two indicators for commercial sales climbed also thanks to strong sales of automobiles and semiconductors. Shipments of investment goods including turbines were also brisk.
