Abstract
This article measures the degree of potential de-anchoring of inflation expectations in the euro area vis-à-vis the inflation objective of the European Central Bank (ECB). A no-arbitrage term structure model that allows for a time-varying long-term mean of inflation expectations, π∗t , is applied to inflation-linked swap (ILS) rates, while taking into account survey-basedinflation forecasts. Estimates of π∗t have been close to 2% since the mid-2000s, indicating that long-term inflation expectations have overall remained well anchored to the ECB’s inflation objective. As this objective is however related to the "medium term", expectations components of various forward ILS rates are extracted: they appear to have been broadlyanchored, with tentative signs of de-anchoring up to the two-year horizon. Using backcasted ILS rates, estimates of π∗t are much above 2% in the early 1990s, but they convergence to levels below 2% by the end of the decade when the ECB was established.

Abstract
Market-based measures of inflation compensation and market-implied real interest rates contain important information for monetary policy analysis but are available for the euro area only for the period since 2005. However, since they are correlated with other macroeconomic and financial variables that are available for longer periods, it is possible to construct time series for market-based measures of inflation compensation and real rates going back to 1992, using a penalised regression approach. These time series can be used as an input into econometric analysis and for illustrating stylised facts and historical patterns.

Abstract
This box presents a model-based approach for distinguishing between two unobserved components embedded in market-based measures of inflation compensation, namely inflation expectations and inflation risk premia. The approach relies on econometric models used to analyse the term structure of inflation-linked swap rates. Estimates indicate that the rise in inflation compensation observed since mid-2020 is attributable more to inflation risk premia than to inflation expectations. This suggests that the rise is mainly related to a shift in the inflation risks priced in, from lower than expected to higher than expected.
