Inflation expectations for the year ahead rose jumped to 3.2% from 2.7% in August and 2.4% in May, according to the survey, which was conducted by market research firm Kantar. Longer-term inflation expectations, which the BoE watches most closely, rose more moderately to 3.1% from 3.0% in August and 2.7% in May. The British central bank is due to announce its next decision on interest rates on Dec. 16.
