Brazil’s mid-month consumer inflation picked up in September 2026, with the year-over-year CPI reading rising to 4.47%, up from 4.24% in August 2026. The move signals a modest acceleration in price pressures after the previous month’s indicator had effectively held its ground.
According to data updated on 25 September 2026, the current figure reflects a comparison of September’s price changes with those of the same month a year earlier. Similarly, August’s 4.24% reading was measured against August of the prior year. This step-up in the annual mid-month CPI suggests that inflation, while still contained, is edging higher as the third quarter draws to a close, a development likely to remain under close watch by markets and policymakers.
