New York Fed’s Survey of Consumer Expectations Continues to Look Gloomy
After 2020’s massive monetary expansion, in order to help the economy combat the coronavirus outbreak and help facilitate the lockdown orders that subsequently followed, inflation has crept into the wallets of every American.
Month after month, the Federal Reserve has published centralbanken’s Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) rapporterar, and every month, inflation expectations jump higher. Once again, the latest Fed SCE report published on Tuesday indicates that Americans are still expecting higher inflation and low purchasing power a year from now.
The inflation expectations have surged to all-time highs and are the highest levels since 2013, with an expectation of 5.3% one year from now. vidare, the New York Fed (the branch that publishes the SCE report), once again mentions the coronavirus.
“Median inflation uncertainty – or the uncertainty expressed regarding future inflation outcomes – was unchanged at the short-term horizon and decreased at the medium-term horizon,” the Fed survey highlights. “Both measures are still well above the levels observed before the outbreak of Covid-19.” The recently published Fed SCE report leverages a rotating panel of 1,300 hushåll.
IMF Warns Central Banks Like the Fed to Tighten Monetary Easing Policy
In addition to the SCE report, Internationella valutafonden (IMF) har noterade, in the world organizations’ quarterly update on global economic conditions, that central banks may need to tighten monetary easing policy. The IMF emphasized countries like the U.S. and the U.K. where “inflation risks are skewed to the upside.”

“While monetary policy can generally look through transitory increases in inflation, central banks should be prepared to act quickly if the risks of rising inflation expectations become more material in this uncharted recovery,” the IMF’s economic counselor and director of research, Gita Gopinath stressed in the report. “Central banks should chart contingent actions, announce clear triggers, and act in line with that communication.”
