Eurozone consumer inflation expectations rise in September
A European Central Bank (ECB) survey published on 23 October shows that eurozone consumers' median inflation expectations for the next 12 months rose to 3.1% in September, up from 3.0% in August. Perceived inflation also increased to 3.6%, while expectations for economic growth worsened to -1.5% and anticipated spending grew to 3.7%.
