The Central Bank of Uruguay has added new tools to the publication of the monthly survey of analysts’ inflation expectations and other economic variables, expanding the information released and improving how responses are displayed. The main change is the addition of visualizations, including histograms for 24-month inflation projections, to show the dispersion of forecasts rather than only summary indicators. The new charts are intended to show how projections are distributed and how concentrated or heterogeneous analysts’ views are, adding depth to the analysis of inflation expectations. The central bank links the update to the needs of an inflation-targeting regime, where monetary policy decisions are taken with a forward-looking approach and expected inflation over a two-year horizon is a key input, making more detailed information on the dispersion of expectations relevant for monitoring.
