【日本語 訳】
インフレーションや経済全般への懸念があるにもかかわらず、アメリカ人は明らかにまだ買い物をする意欲があります。数字で見てみましょう。
全体的に、四半期における経済は3.3%成長し、消費支出が全体のGDP成長の最大の要因でした。これは、経済学者が期待していた2%よりもはるかに速い成長でした。
全体で12月のショッピングは584億ドル増加しました。そして、この総額が全体の販売の3.8%の上昇を牽引しました。では、アメリカ人は何を買っているのでしょうか。
楽しいものや必要なもの、外食の支出は前四半期に比べて19.5%増加し、美容製品、アパレル、および電子製品が店から飛ぶように売れました(fly off the shelves：飛ぶように売れる。イディオム)。 医療への支出は21.8%増加し、年間ベースで小売業は2023年に5.6%増加しました。
そして今日、価格は11月から12月にかけてわずか0.2%しか上昇しておらず、これはインフレが緩和し始めている兆候です。ただし、貯蓄率は依然として4%という不評な数字のままです。 アナリストは、これが現在賃金が成長している場合でも、それが将来のために貯蓄されていないと考えており、代わりに現在経済に注がれていると信じています。
