Expectations (economic) – prediction, anticipating future economic events. They have crucial importance for the economy, because participants in economic life, whenever significant decisions are made, with one eye they look towards the future. For example, if economic entities predict “bad times” (recession), refrain from investing, reducing production and number of employees, making the FACTO contribute to the faster check of the recession. In contemporary economic literature, two ways of predicting the future: adaptable and rational expectations. The hypothesis for adaptable expectations (Adaptive Eye Protects) starts from the setting that economic indicators in the future depend on what happened in the past and comes down to the reflection, extrapolation of the trends from the past to the future. If the inflation rate has been maintained at the level of 3%, then economic entities expect such an inflation rate for the next year. The hypothesis for rational expectations (Rational Eergathony), which receives S “more supporters, starts from the setting that economic entities, if they have a relevant and quality set of information (especially with those coming from economic policy makers), predict the future equally successfully As the economic science does. The ideal creator of the hypothesis for rational expectations is John Meat. Nobel laureate Robert Lucas and his close associate Thomas Sargent take over the Mooth hypothesis, further develop and lead it to the phase of its application in quantitative economic models (as a thorough economic assumption). Starting in March 2006, the NBRM started to conduct a survey among economic entities (enterprises, banks and prominent economic analysts) for the expected inflation rate, in accordance with modern trends of conceptualization and implementation of monetary policy. Summary, the survey shows that economic entities in Macedonia for 2006. Expected inflation rate of 3.4%, which is very close to the realized rate of 3.2%. Not.: T.
