１０月都内物価、１．８％上昇　コメ値上がり最大、電気は縮小―総務省

　総務省が２５日発表した１０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１０７．９と、前年同月比１．８％上昇した。プラスは３８カ月連続だが、伸びは２カ月連続で鈍化し、５カ月ぶりに２％を下回った。コメが過去最大の伸びを記録し、食料の上げ幅が拡大した一方、政府による電気・ガス代の負担軽減策がエネルギーの伸びを抑えた。
　生鮮食品を除く食料は３．８％上昇した。このうち米類は６２．３％と、比較可能な１９７１年１月以降で最大の上げ幅。酷暑の影響で出回る量が減り２３年産の価格が高騰、２４年産も生産コスト高で値上がりした。（2024/10/25-11:04）

The core consumer price index for Tokyo's densely populated 23 special wards in October rose 1.8 pct from a year earlier, the internal affairs ministry said Friday.
   The index, which excludes often volatile fresh food prices, stood at 107.9 against the 2020 base of 100.
   Despite the index rising for 38 months in a row, its growth fell short of 2 pct for the first time in five months.
   While the pace of increase in nonperishable food prices accelerated in the reporting month, mainly due to a steep rise in rice prices, the growth of energy prices was capped by government subsidies aimed at reducing the burden of electricity and gas bills on consumers.
   Prices of food excluding fresh food were up 3.8 pct, reflecting a 62.3 pct surge in rice prices.
