１１月消費支出、０．４％減　４カ月連続マイナス、節約続く―総務省

　総務省が１０日発表した２０２４年１１月の家計調査によると、１世帯（２人以上）当たりの消費支出は２９万５５１８円で、物価変動の影響を除いた実質で前年同月比０．４％減少した。マイナスは４カ月連続。家庭用耐久財や衣料品の購入が不振だったほか、家計の節約志向が続き食料もマイナスだった。
　家庭用耐久財は２８．２％減。エアコンや電気洗濯機の購入が落ち込んだ。被服・履物は１３．７％減。１１月前半の気温が高かった影響で秋冬物衣料の購入が伸びなかった。
　食料は０．６％減と２カ月連続マイナス。節約志向を反映し、値上がり傾向にあるチョコレートなどの菓子類が４．１％減、肉類が３．８％減だった。価格高騰が続く米は３．１％減と３カ月連続で前年実績を割り込んだ。（2025/01/10-10:49）

Japan's household consumption expenditures dropped 0.4 pct from a year earlier in inflation-adjusted real terms to 295,518 yen in November, extending their downtrend to four months, the internal affairs ministry said Friday.
   Spending by multi-person households on durable goods, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, tumbled 28.2 pct. Due chiefly to warmer-than-usual temperatures, outlays on clothes and shoes went down 13.7 pct.
   Those families spent 0.6 pct less on food, curbing expenditures for two months in a row to cope with rising prices. Specifically, spending dropped 4.1 pct on confectionery and 3.8 pct on meat products. That on rice fell 3.1 pct to mark a drop for the third straight month amid continued price spikes.
   Utility bill payments, particularly for water and gas, were cut by 2.9 pct, the first reduction in three months.
   On the other hand, outlays for dining out grew 5.8 pct on strong spending on alcoholic beverages and sushi, among others, following the recent increasing trend.
