12-month inflation expectations of analysts and the financial system (Percentage points) Note: 12-month inflation expectations are calculated as the simple average of the 12-month expectations of the financial system and economic analysts. For each of them, an estimate of the 12-month expectation is obtained by weighting the expectation of the year by the number of months remaining and the expectations of the following year by the number of months left to complete the 12 months.
