It includes the May Economic Expectations Survey (EES) and the June Financial Traders Survey (FTS) previous to the MP meeting, plus the average smoothed forward curve for the quarter ended on 1 June. This is calculated by extracting the implicit MPR considering the forward curve over the overnight swap curve of up to 2 years, discounting the fixed rates of each maturity to the simple accrual of the overnight index swap (OIS). For the current quarter, the surveys and the forward curve consider the average of daily effective data and are completed with the respective sources  Source: Central Bank of Chile.
In the case of housing, rents reflect the flow of benefits obtained from housing assets—either the monetary return from rental property, or the value of living in owner-occupied housing. Historically, the ratio for the nation as a whole has had many ups and downs, but over time it has tended to return to its long-run average. Thus, when the price-to-rent ratio is high, housing prices tend to grow more slowly or fall for a time, and when the ratio is low, prices tend to rise more rapidly. I want to emphasize, though, that this is a loose relationship that can be counted on only for rough guidance rather than a precise reading. Currently, the ratio for the country is higher than at any time since data became available in 1970— about 25 percent above its long-run average. Of course, the results vary widely from place to place. For Los Angeles and San Francisco, the price-to-rent ratio is about 40 percent higher than the normal level, while for Cleveland the ratio is very near its historical average. Closer to home, the figure for Seattle is just over 35. For Portland, it turns out that the price-to-rent ratio is a bit anomalous. Unlike the ratio for the nation and many of the cities I’ve mentioned, Portland’s ratio has been trending up, and this pattern has been going on since the late 1980s.
