AB  - The August 2014 surveys of expectations conducted by Central Banks with inflation targeting regimes indicate that the weighted average growth expectations for 2014 for the eight countries covered remained under 2% and further declined (from just under 2. 0% last month to just under 1. 8%).  The simple average growth expectation also fell from 3. 4% to 3. 2% while inflation expectations for 2014 have remained stable at 4. 8%.  Comparing the August and July surveys, expected 2014 growth remained stable only two of the countries studied (Colombia and Uruguay).  Expected growth fell in Brazil (0. 2%), Chile (0. 4%), Guatemala (0. 1%), Mexico (0. 1%), Paraguay (0. 1%) and Peru (0. 3%).  Expected growth now ranges between 4. 8% (Paraguay) to 0. 7% (Brazil).  The GDP weighted average inflation expectation for the region for 2014 remained stable at 5. 2%.  Inflation expectations rose in Colombia (0. 1%) and fell in Brazil (0. 2%) and Guatemala (0. 1%).
