According to the KPIF measure, an inflation of 1.7 percent is expected in a one-year perspective, which can be compared to 1.7 percent in the corresponding measurement in September and with the Swedish Central Bank's inflation target of 2.0 percent.

In a two-year perspective, a KPIF inflation of 1.9 percent is expected, compared to 1.8 percent in the September measurement.

In a five-year perspective, the inflation expectations are at 2.0 percent, which is in line with the previous measurement.

However, expectations of wage increases have increased to 3.4 percent during the autumn, from 3.2 percent in the September measurement.

Expectations of the Swedish Central Bank's repo rate have simultaneously decreased to 2.00 percent in the repo rate in a 12-month perspective, compared to 2.50 percent in the September measurement.

Wednesday's measurement of inflation expectations is of the larger type that Prospera conducts, where the money market, purchasing managers, and representatives of the labor market parties are included in the underlying data.

The measurement is conducted on behalf of the Swedish Central Bank.
