Median expectations for inflation over the next 12 months fell 0.3 percentage points to 2.8 percent and the outlook for three years ahead eased by 0.1 percentage points to 2.4 percent, the monthly ECB Consumer Expectations Survey revealed.

Meanwhile, expectations for inflation over the next five years were unchanged at 2.1 percent for the sixth month in a row, the ECB said.

Uncertainty over the inflation outlook for the next 12 months decreased in May, reversing the increase observed in April, the survey showed.
