SocGen Maintain 2024 Year-End Forecast Of 8.75%

The key question is what the monetary policy response will be if inflation stays at around or slightly above 3.5% over the medium term (as we and the consensus expect it to).

  • The COPOM decision should continue to support the BRL. The recent increase in fiscal risk might only be transitory, given the administration’s commitment to a balanced budget (or at least close to one) and ongoing discussions in congress about initiatives to increase revenues. So, the recent spike in the front end should be seen as an opportunity to add risk.
