Even With the New Drop in Estimates, Projected Inflation for 2025 Remains Above the Target Ceiling Defined by the National Monetary Council

The inflation expectation for 2025 has fallen again, according to analysts from the financial market consulted by the Central Bank. The current projection is 5.55%, reflecting the downward trend observed in recent weeks. Seven days ago, the forecast was 5.57%. A month ago, it was at 5.65%.

Inflation Still Exceeds the Official Target

Even with the reduction in estimates, the projected inflation remains above the ceiling of the target set by the National Monetary Council. The official target is 3%, with a tolerance of 1.5 percentage points more or less, meaning between 1.5% and 4.5%.

According to directors of the Central Bank, exceeding the target should be confirmed in June. With the new rule, the breach occurs if the IPCA exceeds the ceiling for six consecutive months. Thus, the Monetary Policy Committee is already anticipating that it will have to formally justify the noncompliance with the target by the end of the first semester.

Slowdown of Prices in April

The preliminary inflation data for April indicates an increase of 0.44% in the IPCA. If confirmed, the result will show a loss of momentum compared to the previous month, which recorded 0.56%. However, the accumulated over 12 months is expected to rise from 5.48% to 5.54%.

The smaller price variation helps reinforce the downward trend in projections, but it is still not enough to bring the index within the established range.

Future Projections for Inflation and Dollar

For 2026, the inflation expectation has slightly increased, rising from 4.5% to 4.51%. For 2027, the forecast remains at 4%. Regarding 2028, there was a slight decrease, with the rate falling from 3.8% to 3.78%.

In the foreign exchange market, the projection for the dollar at the end of 2025 remains at R$ 5.90, the same as in the last three weeks.

For 2026 and 2027, the forecasts are R$ 5.95 and R$ 5.86, respectively, both showing a reduction compared to previous estimates.
