According to the Focus Bulletin released this Monday (26), inflation expectations for the year 2026 continue to fall. The new IPCA (Broad National Consumer Price Index) projection indicates that inflation should end the year at 4%. Last week, the forecast was 4.02%.
For 2027, the expectation remained stable at 3.80%; For 2028, the forecast was maintained at 3.50%; For 2029, the estimate remained at 3.50%.
GDP (Gross Domestic Product) maintained its growth expectation at 1.80%. The dollar should close the year at five reais and fifty cents, and the Selic rate at 12.25%.
The next Copom meeting should take place tomorrow (27), to define the Selic goals. The decision will be taken even with the management missing, as the federal government has not yet chosen replacements for the two directors who left the Central Bank at the end of last year.
