I've some doubts about this tense .
Expectations of rate increases will be climbed back .

Is it correct to use passive tense here ?
Thank

First, Passive is a voice, not a tense. :wink: Second, what exactly does 'climbed back' mean? Third, if expectations can in fact be climbed back, then the sentence stands correct. :D

Thank for this clarification relating to passive voice. Climb back means to scale . This verb is used to indicate the rates will probably increase in next months with the data of economic improvement that Fed is seeing

Don't you mean that the rates will be raised ("remontés" in French) ?

I do not think that you can use "I've" here. You should write "I have" for have here is a main verb and should not be contracted.
I have a lot of books.
I've got it.

Yes I did it . To scale indicates that this raising will take time .

The verb means progression of steps.

Why are you getting mad? :)
To scale would probably be translated as "ajustés à la hausse".
(also, say "yes I did").
Where do you work, if I may ask?

rates can be scaled back but expectations, hmm, it would depend on the context used, actually. As is, though, the sentence expresses that expectations will be scaled back. :(

All the best, :D
