-- 全米独立企業連盟(NFIB)が発表した月次中小企業景況感指数は、2月の98.8、2025年3月の97.4から3月には95.8に低下し、2025年4月以来の最低水準となった。 NFIBのチーフエコノミスト、ビル・ダンケルバーグ氏は、「勤労家族減税法に含まれる20%の中小企業控除やその他の中小企業支援策は、中小企業経営者にとって多くのプラス効果をもたらしてきた」と述べた。「しかし、原油価格の急騰は消費者と経営者の双方を不安にさせている。中小企業経営者は、こうした高騰した仕入れコストを吸収し、顧客に転嫁せざるを得ない状況だ。」 10項目の指標のうち8項目で前月比低下が見られ、残りの2項目は横ばいだった。 最も大きな低下幅を示したのは収益動向で、11ポイント低下し、純減25%となった。経済見通しも7ポイント低下し、純増11%となった。 純増は、増加を予想する回答者が減少を予想する回答者よりも多いことを示し、純減はその逆を示します。 拡張計画(純増11%)、現在の在庫(純減5%)、在庫増加計画(純減5%)、設備投資計画(純増16%)、売上予測(純増7%)、現在の求人数(純増32%)についても、わずかに低下しました。 雇用計画(純増12%)と予想される信用状況(純減5%)については、変化はありませんでした。
