巴西央行在9月份选择将基准利率维持在15%,理由是在持续的不确定性下,需要将通货膨胀率保持在目标水平。外部因素,包括美国经济状况和全球金融波动,继续影响新兴市场,而在国内,增长正在放缓,但劳动力市场仍然强劲,通货膨胀率仍高于目标。2025年和2026年的通胀预期仍高达4.8%和4.3%,而Copom预计2027年初的通胀率为3.4%。央行强调了上行风险,如弹性服务通胀和汇率走弱,以及下行风险,如国内经济进一步放缓或大宗商品价格下跌。Copom强调,未来可能需要调整政策以保持价格稳定。这一决定反映了一种谨慎的态度,在控制通胀的需要与支持经济活动之间取得了平衡。
Brazil’s central bank opted to maintain its benchmark interest rate at 15% in September, citing the need to keep inflation on a path toward the target amid persistent uncertainty. External factors, including US economic conditions and global financial volatility, continue to influence emerging markets, while domestically, growth is moderating but the labor market remains strong and inflation stays above target. Inflation expectations for 2025 and 2026 remain elevated at 4.8% and 4.3%, with Copom projecting 3.4% for early 2027. The central bank highlighted upside risks such as resilient services inflation and a weaker exchange rate, alongside downside risks like a sharper domestic slowdown or falling commodity prices. Copom emphasized that future policy adjustments may be necessary to maintain price stability. The decision reflects a cautious approach, balancing the need for inflation control with support for economic activity.
