Inflationary Expectations in August

29-08-2011

The falling inflationary expectations index describes the respondents' attitudes to rising prices. When the index is above 100 points, it means that a majority of people expect inflation to decline.

If the index assumes a value below 100 points it means that an increase in inflation is expected. At 100 points the index shows that these views balance each other, or that most people believe the inflation rate will remain unchanged.
