The increase in professional inflation expectations seen in the second quarter stabilised in the third quarter. Current-year expectations remained at 4.4%, while five-year expectations eased from 4.1% to 4.0%. Expectations for 2027 and 2028 edged lower to 4.0% and 3.8%, from 4.2% and 3.9% previously. Household inflation expectations declined sharply, reversing much of the increase recorded in the second quarter.
