Business Inflation Expectations Survey (BIES)
Business Inflation Expectations Survey (BIES)
The Business Inflation Expectations Survey (BIES) provides ways to examine the amount of slack in the economy by polling a panel of business leaders about their inflation expectations in the short and medium term.
The Business Inflation Expectations Survey (BIES) provides ways to examine the amount of slack in the economy by polling a panel of business leaders about their inflation expectations in the short and medium term.
The survey asks questions about year-ahead cost expectations and factors influencing price changes, such as profit, sales levels, etc. The survey is unique in that it goes straight to businesses, the price setters, rather than to consumers or households, to understand their expectations of the price level changes. One major advantage of BIES is that one can get a probabilistic assessment of inflation expectations and thus a measure of uncertainty. It also provides an indirect assessment of overall demand condition of the economy. Results of this will thus be useful in understanding the inflation expectation of business and complement other macro data required for policy making.

The Business Inflation Expectations Survey (BIES) for May 2023, authored by Prof Abhiman Das, from the Misra Centre for Financial Markets and Economy at IIMA, has been released. The survey shows inflation expectations reverting below 4% for the first time after October 2020, which is below the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) inflation target.
Moreover, it is observed that the speed at which inflation is declining in India has been much better than other countries across the world. It is a remarkable achievement for the RBI in controlling inflation.

The 76th round of the Business Inflation Expectations Survey (#BIES) reports a steady inflation expectation of around 4 percent among firms over the past four consecutive months. This indicates that businesses are not anticipating an increase in their costs, which has been adequately reflected by the lowering of core inflation. Tune in to Professor Abhiman Das, Professor of Economics at IIMA, sharing more such interesting findings from the BIES report for August 2023.
