KONDA Inflation Expectations Survey - April'2026

SUMMARY

In April, inflation expectations for the next 12 months remained unchanged at 93% compared to the previous month. However, this does not mean that the same trend was observed across all social groups. Indeed, while inflation expectations have risen among housewives and those with an education level below high school, they have declined among students and the unemployed. Furthermore, it appears that concerns regarding geopolitical developments, summer vacation plans, and variables such as health perception, level of religiosity, ideological stance, life satisfaction, and happiness are also related to inflation expectations.
