Description

Benito Berber, Chief Economist for Latin America at Natixis CIB, is
joined by economist and former BCB Board Member, Dr. Paulo Vieira da Cunha, for
a deep dive into the monetary policy of Brazil amid record-high inflation. With
inflation running close to 11% a rate not seen since the early 2000s and
markedly higher than other Latin American nations, the experts discuss the
factors – from adverse fiscal expectations to supply shocks– that led to the
current inflationary spiral and the Central Bank’s approach to tackling the
crisis. 

With an economy now slowing to near zero growth, could recession be on the horizon? Dr. Vieira da Cunha shares his views on Brazil’s economic outlook for 2022 and beyond.
