In July, the year-to-date rate was 5.49%. It dropped to 4.1% after a sequence of negative results.
The highest rate in the G20 is in Argentina, which reached 66.1% accumulated from January to September.
The country may end the year with inflation above 100%. In second place is Turkey, with 52.4%.
Brazil’s year-to-date inflation is lower than in Germany (9%), the European Union (8.5%), the United Kingdom (7.6%), the United States (5.8%), and France (4.5%).
Of the Euro Zone countries, France has the lowest rate. In September, inflation in the region exceeded 10% for the first time in history.
Market operators’ expectations for the IPCA in 2022, disclosed weekly by the Central Bank’s Focus Bulletin, dropped for the 16th time in a row on Monday, October 17. It is now at 5.62%.
By the end of the year, the IPCA will likely be above the 5% target ceiling. On June 6, the Focus report forecasted an IPCA of 8.89% in 2022.
