Median inflation expectations dropped by 0.8 percentage point at the one-year-ahead horizon to 4.2 per cent, remained unchanged at the three-year-ahead horizon at 2.7 per cent, and increased by 0.1 percentage point at the five-year-ahead horizon to 2.6 per cent. The survey’s measure of disagreement across respondents (the difference between the 75th and 25th percentile of inflation expectations) declined at all three horizons.
Median inflation uncertainty—or the uncertainty expressed regarding future inflation outcomes—declined at the one- and three-year ahead horizons and remained unchanged at the five-year-ahead horizon, as per Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s ‘Survey of Consumer Expectations’.
Median one-year-ahead expected earnings growth remained unchanged at 3 per cent in February. The series has been moving between a narrow range of 2.8 per cent to 3 per cent since September 2021.
