７月の企業物価、３．０％上昇　電気・ガス代補助金終了で―日銀

　日銀が１３日発表した７月の国内企業物価指数（速報値、２０２０年平均＝１００）は１２３．１と、前年同月比３．０％上昇した。伸び率は前月（２．９％）から拡大、昨年８月（３．４％）以来１１カ月ぶりの３％台となった。プラスは４１カ月連続。円安による原材料価格の高騰に加え、電気・ガス代の高騰を受けた政府の補助金がいったん終了したことが押し上げ要因となった。
　企業物価指数は、企業間で取引されるモノの価格を示す。調査対象５１５品目のうち、３９０品目が上昇、１０５品目が下落した。
　分野別では、電力・都市ガス・水道が６．７％上昇し、１３カ月ぶりのプラスに転じた。非鉄金属が銅やアルミニウムの市況上昇で１８．５％、飲食料品は包装資材や燃料費の上昇分を転嫁する動きが続いたことで２．６％、それぞれ上がった。（2024/08/13-10:59）

The producer price index in Japan in July rose 3.0 pct from a year before to 123.1 against the 2020 base of 100, up for 41 straight months, Bank of Japan data showed Tuesday.
   The growth, larger than 2.9 pct in June, reached 3 pct for the first time since August 2023, when the index, which measures the cost of goods traded between businesses, gained 3.4 pct.
   The increase in July reflected rising prices of materials due to a weaker yen and the suspension of government subsidies to ease the impact of higher electricity and gas prices.
   Of the 515 items surveyed, 390 saw prices go up while 105 posted falls, the central bank said in a preliminary report.
   By category, electricity, city gas and water rates grew 6.7 pct, the first increase in 13 months. Nonferrous metal prices were up 18.5 pct as prices of copper and aluminum soared. Food and beverage prices climbed 2.6 pct, reflecting moves by makers to pass on rising wrapping material and fuel costs to prices
