Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version
available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was
created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions
text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some
imperfections may remain.
Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These
gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a
confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All
scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly
cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial
printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first
created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked
and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not
reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY
Consumer Sentiment
The Michigan index of consumer sentiment was little changed in
the first part of September from the levels prevailing in July and
August
The early September index value of 77,4 was approximately
14 points below its recent peak in December 1992, reflecting the
deterioration in sentiment that occurred in the first half of the
year
Consumers' assessments of current conditions improved
modestly in September while consumers' expectations of future
conditions edged lower
Among the questions not included in the composite index,
consumers' appraisals of buying conditions for cars and houses
reversed the declines recorded in August
relatively favorable July levels.
moving back up to their
In contrast
respondents' average
expectation of the change in unemployment edged up further to its
most pessimistic level since July 1992
Average expected inflation over the next twelve months fell by
0.6 percentage point in early September to 4.3 percent, while the
median inflation expectation fell 0.2 percentage point to
3.1 percent
The average expectation of inflation over the next
five to ten years also fell somewhat to 4.4 percent--the lowest
reading in the eleven-year history of this series.
Although the
median expectation of inflation over the next five to ten years rose
in September from 3.2 percent to 3.5 percent
this series has also
displayed a downward trend in the past several years
Erratum
On page two of the Greensheets, page I-16, the percent change
in the GDP fixed-weight price index for 1992 was incorrectly
reported as 3.4 percent
The correct figure is 3.3 percent
