The average headline CPI inflation expectations of analysts, business people and trade unions seemingly peaked in the second quarter of 2023, as expectations declined significantly in the third quarter. It was the first drop in average 2023 expectations in two years. Lower expectations were also evident over the entire forecast horizon (2023 to 2025) and mostly due to downward revisions by business people and trade unionists (by 0.6 percentage points (% pts) each for all three years). Analysts were the exception; they virtually retained their forecast of the second quarter. These revisions were done against the background where headline inflation dropped from 6.3% in May (as reported during the second quarter survey) to 4.7% in July (reported during the third quarter survey).
