Summary

Brazil’s economy has shown remarkable resilience amid the ongoing disinflation. Economic activity has grown steadily, surpassing expectations, reflecting favorable demand and supply factors. With proactive and adequately restrictive monetary policy, headline inflation has declined to the target tolerance interval. Longstanding challenges remain, including elevated public debt and slow convergence to higher living standards. The authorities have advanced their ambitious sustainable and inclusive growth agenda, including the approval of a landmark VAT reform.
