The central bankers triggered the alarm about the risk of fresh outbursts of inflation, since it was increased from the post -pandemical price before the effect of deep “scars”.
The Bank for international settlements It found that the households in 29 advanced and emerging market economies expected inflation in the next 12 months, which is about 8 percent and far higher than the average level of inflation of 2.4 percent.
This increases the threat that the price expectations of the official inflation goals of the central banks are “unmistaked”, whereby households and groups react to the future price jumps by demanding higher wages and increasing prices in a self -reinforcing spiral.
“Households are very strongly influenced by the youngest inflation Experience; When it comes to inflation expectations, it is bitten by shy twice, ”said Hyun Song Shin, head of the money and economic department on to.
“It is known that surveys of the inflation expectations of households tend to overestimate real inflation. However, if these perceptions are translating into actions and behavior, this will affect the economy.”
Central banks all over the world have broken down the interest rates because the worst price boost reduces a generation. Inflation in advanced economies will fall to 2.2 percent next year, far below the maximum of more than 7 percent in 2022, according to the IMF forecasts. In emerging countries, inflation will decrease to 4.6 percent compared to almost 10 percent this year.
In view of the permanent heritage of the inflationary upswing after the end of the Covid 19 restrictions, which in many economies followed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, reinforced after the end of the Covid 19 restrictions, which were reinforced in other raw material values.
President Donald Trump’s trade war has added a new threat, especially in the United States, in which the Federal Reserve kept politics on the waiting loop this year, since the tariffs are increased that increase consumer prices.
The bis, which is based in Basel, who advised the global central banks, argued that temporary inflation jumps were often considered “relatively benign”, but there was a risk that they would lead to persistent increases in inflation, which were fed upwards by the expectations.
In his annual report, it found that additional forces such as population age, climate change, geopolitical tensions and less elastic care side could contribute to a fleeting environment, which worried political design for central bankers more.
“In particular, households can have less tolerance for price increases and real wage declines after the strong increase in living costs after the pandemic,” warned Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the to.
“If evidence of the defusing arises, the central banks must react quickly and vigorously to inflationary shocks. The uncertainty that associated the timing, size and future tariffs further complicates this task.”
FED chairman Jay Powell emphasized the risk that people’s memories of inflation after the covise could make the efforts of the US Central Bank to coordinate the price pressure.
Powell said on Wednesday that the US tariff seters were safer that tariffs in Trump’s first term in office would prove a unique shock.
This time there was a unique shock “the base case”, the Fed chairman said to the Senate banking committee. He added that in view of the heir of global inflation, the risk of a longer attack by tariff-induced price pressure was “something that she wants to tackle in a world in which inflation does not go back to 2 percent”.
The expectations of households to inflation shot up After Trump’s unveiling of his “mutual” tariffs on April 2, with the closely observed surveys of the University of Michigan to meet short -term and long -term inflation expectations that were recently seen in the early nineties.
Since then, they have decreased between the USA and China after comparing the trade voltages, but they remain at the level that the 2 percent goal of the Fed is more than twice as high. The FED has emphasized that market-based measures have continued to show that the inflation expectations under US investors are still well anchored.
In its latest meeting, the Bank of England also marked risks in connection with the expectations of the “increased” budget and business inflation at the beginning of this month.
