Survey of monetary analysts
The Survey of Monetary Analysts questionnaires have been available since the launch of the survey in April 2019.
The aggregate survey results have been published in PDF format since June 2021. As of June 2022, these aggregate results (back to June 2021) are also published in a CSV file. The corresponding PDF files have been adjusted to incorporate identifiers for the results of individual questions.
