He said that inflation in Brazil is not out of control, while acknowledging that the government made some mistakes in its communications that affected the discussion about interest rates.

  • Separately, Supreme Court Justice Flavio Dino authorised the government to issue extraordinary spending credits outside the fiscal limits to combat wildfires throughout the country. Haddad said that the spending on fires does not hurt the country’s fiscal rules, and that the measures are extraordinary.
  • On the data front, formal job creation figures for August may be released later. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Haddad has a meeting with BNDES’ Planning and Institutional Relations director, Nelson Barbosa, at 2100BST(1600ET).
