Economic Experts Survey Q4 2023

Evaluating Global Economic Policy Worldwide

This survey of the Economic Experts Survey (EES) of the ifo Institute and the Institute for Swiss Economic Policy examines inflation and growth expectations of economists on a global level. The result: although inflation expectations worldwide remain well above central banks’ inflation target, a further decline in the expected inflation rate for 2024 compared with previous quarters is evident. Growth expectations in the short run are especially moderate in Europe, but improve for the medium and long run outlook.

The Economic Experts Survey (EES) is a quarterly survey of economic experts worldwide.
