総務省が10日発表した9月の家計調査報告によると、2人以上の世帯が使ったお金は28万9536円で、物価変動の影響をのぞいた実質では、前年9月より6.8%減った。減少率は2020年9月の10.2%以来6年ぶりの大きさで、10分類の支出費目のうち9費目が減少した。総務省統計調査部は、長雨などの天候不良で、外出や買い物を控えたり夏物の需要が減ったりしたことの影響があったとみている。
前年同月比が実質でマイナスになるのは10カ月連続。実際に支出した額(名目値)も前年9月に比べ4.5%減少した。前回落ち込みが大きかった20年9月はコロナ禍のさなかで、19年10月の消費増税前の駆け込み需要の反動減の要素もあった。
費目別では、食料が実質2.5%の減少。コメや飲料の落ち込みが大きかった。飲料や調理食品などは価格上昇率も高く、実質減が続いている。
光熱・水道は10.5%の減少。電気代(8月使用・9月支払い)が11.9%減った。8月の気温が低かったことの影響が考えられるという。被服・履物も3.6%減少。家具・家事用品は6.4%減った。エアコンなど家庭用耐久財の落ち込みが大きい。値上がりしたポリ袋・ラップも支出が減っている。
