About this data
What Germans expect, from the surveys that ask them directly. The Bundesbank household panel gives expected inflation over several horizons with its percentiles, expected income and house prices and the qualitative balances for spending, saving and the economy; the Bundesbank firm survey gives the matching inflation expectations of businesses, trimmed at two thresholds; and the HDE consumer barometer adds retail-side consumer sentiment with its six sub-indices. Reading household and firm expectations against each other is the standard test of whether expectations are anchored.
