Consumer Price Index - Inflation forecasts [06-07-2010]
| Monthly evolution of inflation |
|
| yoy growth rates in %, the values in the grey area are forecasts |
The inflation forecasts presented below are based on observations until June 2010. The source of these observations is the FPS Economy. Forecasts from July 2010 on are made by the Federal Planning Bureau. These forecasts take an average oil price of 75 dollar per barrel in 2010 and 77 dollar per barrel in 2011 into account. The exchange rate of the euro should amount to 1.29 dollar per euro in 2010 and 1.25 dollar per euro in 2011.
Based on the monthly inflation forecasts, average consumer price inflation should be 2.0% in 2010 and 1.9% in 2011, compared to -0.05% in 2009 and 4.49% in 2008. The average growth rate of the so-called "health price index", used for the price indexation of wages, social benefits and house-rent, should be 1.5% in 2010 and 1.7% in 2011, compared to 0.59% in 2009 and 4.22% in 2008.
The pivotal index for the public sector was crossed in August 2008. According to our monthly forecasts for the "health price index", the pivotal index for public wages and social benefits (currently standing at 112.72) should next be crossed in September 2010. As a result, social benefits should be adjusted (by 2%) to the higher cost of living in October 2010 and public wages should follow suit in November 2011. The next pivotal index (114.97) should not be crossed in 2011.
The inflation forecasts are updated the first Tuesday of every month (except for August) taking the latest available information into account. Next update: 7 September 2010.
