最新报道:Brazil's central bank has maintained its benchmark interest rate at 13.75% for the sixth consecutive meeting, keeping borrowing costs at a two-decade high despite slowing inflation. The unanimous decision by policymakers aims to anchor inflation expectations while monitoring global uncertainties and fiscal policy impacts. Annual inflation dropped to 4.51% in October but remains above the 3.25% target for 2023. The bank signaled potential rate cuts in 2024 if economic conditions allow, though analysts warn premature easing could reignite price pressures. This monetary stance comes as Latin America's largest economy shows mixed signals, with slowing GDP growth but resilient labor markets.
