Quarterly Prospera Survey Indicates Continued Confidence In Inflation Target

SWEDEN

Prospera's quarterly Swedish inflation expectations survey indicated a further moderation in CPIF expectations. 2Y ahead CPIF expectations fell towards the Riksbank's target to 2.2% Y/Y (vs 2.6% prior) while 5Y ahead expectations were steady at 2.1% Y/Y - indicating continued confidence in a return to the inflation target over the medium/long-term.

  • The quarterly survey takes expectations from labour market participants, purchasing managers and money market players, with the monthly iterations only surveying the latter group.
  • Compared to November, money market participants' CPIF expectations fell slightly at the 2Y horizon to 2.0% Y/Y (vs 2.1% prior), while 5Y expectations were stable at 2.1% Y/Y.
  • Similar trends were seen by labour market participants and purchasing managers, with 2Y CPIF expectations of manufacturing purchasing managers recording the largest drop to 2.6% Y/Y (vs. 3.3% prior). Wage expectations saw slight declines across those groups at 2/5Y horizons on average.
  • With respect to the policy rate, participants saw 50bps of Riksbank cuts in 12 months' time to 3.5% (vs 3.6% prior), while the policy rate was seen at 2.7% in 2Y and 2.3% in 5Y. The market currently prices a policy rate of 2.75% in December 2024, according to estimates by SEB.
