Abstract: In the decade before the pandemic, inflation expectations became less volatile worldwide, as well as more consistent with inflation targets and less sensitive to inflation surprises. This progress has paid off for many economies during the past year's surge in inflation: long-term expectations have remained largely anchored, but with notable exceptions. Anchored expectations provide room for monetary policy manoeuvre, but how strongly they remain anchored will depend on central banks keeping inflation in line with their stated objectives.
