The Central Bank of Brazil (Banco Central do Brasil) targets the IPCA (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), or Broad National Consumer Price Index, as its official inflation measure. This index is calculated by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and serves as the primary benchmark for the country’s inflation-targeting regime. The inflation target is set in terms of the year-over-year rate of increase in the IPCA . The IPCA-15, on the other hand, is a mid-month preview of the IPCA. While it provides timely insights into inflation trends and is closely monitored by policymakers and analysts, it is not the official target for monetary policy. The IPCA-15 differs from the IPCA primarily in its data collection period and geographic coverage, offering an early indication of inflation but not serving as the formal benchmark . valorinternational
