消費支出、１３カ月ぶりプラス　１０月は増税反動で１．９％増

　総務省が８日発表した１０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２８万３５０８円となり、物価変動の影響を除いた実質で前年同月比１．９％増加した。昨年１０月の消費税増税による落ち込みからの反動増による影響が大きく、プラスは１３カ月ぶり。

Household consumption spending in Japan grew in October for the first time in 13 months, government data showed Tuesday.
   The upturn came after spending dropped sharply a year before following a consumption tax hike to 10 pct from 8 pct in October 2019.
   In addition, the government's Go To campaigns aimed at stimulating demand battered by the coronavirus pandemic also contributed to more spending.
   Spending by households with two or more members averaged 283,508 yen, up 1.9 pct from a year before in price-adjusted real terms, according to the internal affairs ministry data.
   By item, spending on durables such as refrigerators and washing machines surged 67.9 pct after a slump a year before following the tax increase. Expenditures on accommodations climbed 31.8 pct and those on dining rose 0.7 pct.
