ECB: Few Surprises In de Guindos Speech On Expectations Surveys

ECB

Not too many surprises to note in de Guindos’ opening remarks on a first glance, though the following excerpts are somewhat interesting (particularly in the context of the market reaction to last week’s flash PMIs):

  • “Survey data can be volatile and there is evidence of overreaction in both household and firm surveys of expectations”.
  • “For this reason, surveys may provide a noisy signal for policymaking in practice, which complicates how these data should feed into the policy reaction function”.
  • Link here. The subject of the conference is "Expectations surveys, central banks and the economy".
