Brazil economic team cuts GDP growth forecast for 2026
Valor Econômico·BR·about 16 hours ago
Brazil's government (SPE) reduced its 2026 GDP growth projection to 2.0% and 2027 to 2.3%, while trimming the 2026 IPCA inflation forecast to 4.9% from 5.1%. The downward revision signals weaker growth expectations, possibly reflecting tighter monetary policy or external headwinds, but lower inflation may ease pressure on the central bank.
