Index of consumption trends in the latter half of September Decrease in decrease compared to the first half Travel and eating out improvement October 15 10:46
According to a survey that indexes consumption trends based on credit card usage information, the index improved in the latter half of September due to consumption such as travel and eating out, which had been declining so far, and the rate of decrease narrowed compared to the first half of September. I found out that I did.
Nowcast, a data analysis company, and JCB, a major credit card company, publish an index that shows consumption trends after protecting privacy based on card usage information.
The index from September 16th to 30th was -16.4% compared to the latter half of January before the spread of the infection, and the rate of decrease was smaller than the -17.3% in the first half of September.
Looking at the breakdown, "service consumption", which had been depressed so far, was ▽ "travel" at -19.1%, ▽ "eating out" at -18.7%, and ▽ "entertainment" such as movie theaters at -14.7%. Although both have decreased, the rate of decrease has narrowed and improved compared to the first half of September.
The company that investigated the background said, "I think the consumption behavior that was suppressed by the new corona is returning," and said that there was a consecutive holiday, which is a measure to stimulate tourism demand, "Go To Travel." It is analyzed that the effect of the above has spread and that the request for shortening the business hours of Tokyo to restaurants that serve alcohol has ended.
