政府のエネ補助「場当たり的」 民主改革・小川淳也代表が批判
米国のバンス副大統領は4日、SNSで共和党敗北の理由が対イラン攻撃にあると表明。原油先物市場で戦闘終結に向けた期待が広がり、10月下旬に1バレル=100ドル台だった米国産標準油種WTIは一時、90ドルを割り込んだ。
しかし、軍事衝突以前の60ドル台後半には程遠い。イランが選挙結果を受けて強硬姿勢を維持すれば、交渉は停滞し、価格が高止まりしかねない。
野村証券の高島雄貴エコノミストは、米イランが合意にこぎ着けて原油価格が下落しても、当面は船舶による輸送費の高止まりが続くと指摘。「輸入価格はゆっくり下がるイメージだ」との見方を示した。
政府は原油高の長期化を受け、ガソリン補助金を縮小する方向にかじを切った。3月以降、レギュラーガソリンの店頭価格を全国平均で1リットル当たり170円程度と欧米各国以下の水準に抑え込んできたが、12月に175円に修正。その後も月5円のペースで引き上げる方針だ。
10月末までに支払った補助額は約1.5兆円に達し、財政支出の膨張に歯止めをかけるのが狙い。ただ、食品など生活必需品の「値上げラッシュ」が家計を圧迫しており、政府は来年1月以降の引き上げを正式に決められずにいる。経済産業省幹部は「物価高に打つ手が限られる中で、国内の反応をどう捉えるかだ」と世論の動向を注視している。
