Abstract:	The authors, who are both staff members of the Bureau for Economic Research at the University of Stellenbosch, conducted research into expectations regarding inflation at the behest of the Reserve Bank of South Africa. Trial runs were carried out during the first part of 2000 and the first set of final results was calculated in the third quarter of 2000. This paper is largely concerned with the method applied. Initial findings show that inflation expectations exceeded the Reserve Bank's limits, but this is no different from the experiences in other countries, where there has only been a decline towards their central bank's targets over a period of time.
