redir.folha.com.brBrazil’s Finance Ministry raised its consumer price forecasts and now projects inflation will stay above target through at least 2027. The updated outlook reflects the economic effects of the Middle East war, according to the ministry’s latest assessment.
The ministry’s revised figures show higher expected consumer prices than previous estimates. Officials cited the ongoing regional conflict as the main driver behind the change. The new projections extend the period during which inflation is expected to exceed the central bank’s target range.
