７～９月期ＧＤＰ、水準維持へ　設備投資は２四半期連続減―法人企業統計

　財務省が１日発表した７～９月期法人企業統計調査は、金融機関を除く全産業の設備投資額が前年同期比１０．６％減と２四半期連続の大幅な落ち込みを記録した。この結果を受け、民間シンクタンク各社が発表した７～９月期実質ＧＤＰ（国内総生産）改定値の予測平均は速報値の水準をおおむね維持する見通しだ。
　内閣府は８日、７～９月期実質ＧＤＰ改定値を発表する。シンクタンク１１社の予測平均は前期比年率２１．７％増と速報値段階（２１．４％増）とほぼ変わらない。設備投資の予測平均は前期比３．２％減と速報値（３．４％減）からマイナス幅のわずかな縮小が見込まれる。（2020/12/01-20:12）

Japan's gross domestic product growth for July-September is unlikely to be revised sharply from the preliminary data, given the results of the Finance Ministry's latest capital spending statistics, think tanks say.
   Japanese nonfinancial companies' combined capital expenditures in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 fell 10.6 pct from a year before, marking the second straight quarter of a big drop, according to the statistics released Tuesday.
   The 11 think tanks on average estimate that Japan's GDP grew at a revised annual rate of 21.7 pct from the previous quarter, almost unchanged from the 21.4 pct rise in the preliminary report announced last month.
   The Cabinet Office is scheduled to release revised GDP data for July-September on Tuesday.
   The average estimate on corporate capital spending is for a 3.2 pct drop on a nonannualized basis, slightly smaller than the 3.4 pct decline in the preliminary report.
