Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 2.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 2.75%.

If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 3.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1? Round your answer to two decimal places.
