European Central Bank Survey: Eurozone Enterprises' Short term Inflation Expectations Rise, but Salary Pressure eases. "According to a survey released by the European Central Bank on Monday, Eurozone enterprises expect short-term inflation to rise due to the impact of the Iran War, but long-term expectations remain stable, and wage growth expectations are actually slowing down. The survey data, covering over 10000 businesses and including pre war and post-war responses, showed no signs of a second round inflation effect, which eased some concerns before Thursday's meeting. The European Central Bank stated that one-year inflation expectations have risen from 2.6% three months ago to 3.0%, while three-year and five-year inflation expectations remain unchanged. The company did not raise its salary expectations, but instead reported a slowdown in salary growth expectations. The European Central Bank stated that "the Middle East war has significantly increased companies' expectations for sales prices and input costs, but has not affected salary expectations." The survey shows that salaries are expected to increase by 2.8%, down from 3.1% three months ago. The company expects a 3.5% increase in sales prices, while input costs including energy are expected to rise by 5.8%.
