Published as part of the ECB Economic Bulletin, Issue 7/2022. - In this box, we analyse developments in consumers inflation expectations [1] using data from the ECBs Consumer Expectations Survey (CES), which was launched in 2020.
- [2] We look at changes in the entire distribution of inflation expectations, focusing on both mean and median inflation expectations, as the two measures can differ owing to skew in survey responses.
- Expectations for three years ahead measure more medium-term inflation expectations and, as such, better capture the potential risks of the de-anchoring of inflation expectations from a central banks inflation target.
- [4] More medium-term inflation expectations remained broadly unchanged until March 2022, when median inflation expectations for three years ahead increased to 3% following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
- Consumers mean and median inflation expectations and HICP inflation
(percentages; annual percentage changes)Sources: ECBs Consumer Expectations Survey and Eurostat.
- Although perceptions of actual inflation and short-term inflation expectations have risen, the term structure of consumers inflation expectations has remained strongly downward sloping.
- By combining information on inflation expectations at different horizons, a term structure of consumers inflation expectations can be constructed.
- The responsiveness of inflation expectations to inflation perceptions has increased slightly, but it remains noticeably lower for medium-term inflation expectations.
