Juros e meta de inflação: o quadro atual é viável no Brasil? | O ASSUNTO

In mid-June, the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) of the Central Bank (BC) decided on a timid cut in the Selic rate, which is the basic interest rate: a reduction of 0.25 percentage points. The unanimous decision of Copom reduced the Selic rate to 14.25% per year, and the minutes of the meeting indicated that the cuts may stop there. The definition of the interest rate is the tool that the BC has to fulfill one of its duties, which is to pursue the inflation target, currently at 3% per year – this target is defined by a council formed by the Ministries of Finance, Planning, and the BC itself. Currently, Brazil has the highest real interest rate in the world – which is the difference between the basic rate and inflation, which is at 4.72% in the accumulated last 12 months. In this episode, Natuza Nery hosts a debate with economists André Galhardo and Felipe Salto to answer two main questions: is the 3% annual inflation target viable for Brazil today? What does the country need to do to be able to cope with lower interest rates? #thetopic ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello!
