Abstract

This note uses the well-known Nelson–Siegel approach to modelling the term structure of interest rates to construct a summary measure of the term structure of inflation expectations from a diverse set of indicators. The proposed measure captures the signal contained in UK surveys and provides some information for monetary policymakers.
