Latest Updates
The annual inflation rate in Brazil eased to 11.73% in May of 2022 from the 2003-high of 12.13% in March, below market expectations of 11.84%. Still, it marked the ninth consecutive month of double-digit inflation. Consumer prices decelerated for housing and utilities (9.57% vs 13.44% in April), largely due to slower increases for residential electricity (5.29% vs 20.52%) and home fuels (29.56% vs 32.29), and furnishings and household maintenance (14.68% vs 15.37%). On the other hand, prices advanced slightly faster for transportation (19.92% vs 19.7%) and food and non-alcoholic beverages (13.51% vs 13.47%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices were up by 0.47%, easing from the 1996-high 1.06% jump in the prior month.
