SUMMARY
In May, the inflation expectation for the next 12 months remained at 93 percent, the same level as the previous two months. However, this does not mean that the same trend is observed across all social groups. For example, inflation expectations decreased among housewives and those with less than a high school education, while they increased among students and white-collar workers. In addition, variables such as having additional income besides salary, having social support networks, and the most frequently used social media platforms also appear to be related to inflation expectations.
