Index of Common Inflation Expectations

Description

The Index of Common Inflation Expectations (CIE) pulls together a variety of measures that look at the inflation expectations of economic agents. Data dimensions include the type of economic agent, the horizon of the expectation, the source of data (survey versus market-based measures), and the associated inflation concept. CIE is constructed using 21 inflation expectation indicators derived from households, firms, professional forecasters, and financial market participants. Both 'short horizon' (forecasts for the year ahead) and 'long horizon' (forecasts for a period over the next 5-10 years) inflation expectations are included. The quarterly index began in September 2020 and includes data from 1999 to present.
