Executive Summary
- The Copom continued its tightening cycle with another 100bp hike of the Selic rate to 13.25%, in line with expectations.
- The decision was unanimous as the committee maintained a hawkish tone, reiterating its guidance for another 100bp hike at the next Copom meeting in March.
- Beyond March, the guidance remained open-ended, with the degree of tightening dependant on the incoming data. Analysts expect the Selic rate to rise further in Q2, with many seeing the terminal rate in a 15.0-15.5% range, with risks skewed to the upside.
