Danmarks Nationalbank's new monthly survey finds Danish households' inflation expectations stable

26 October 2026

Danmarks Nationalbank published an analysis titled 'New evidence on the inflation expectations of Danish households'. It is Analysis No. 19 of 2026 and is dated 20 October 2026. The analysis draws on the bank's new monthly expectations survey, which has covered Danish households since October 2024. It reports that inflation expectations among Danish households have been substantially lower than the peak inflation levels of 2022. It also finds that Danish households' expectations have responded to economic developments much like inflation expectations in the euro area. The bank notes that well-anchored medium-term inflation expectations matter because they influence inflation outcomes and reflect the credibility of monetary policy.
