Brazil’s mid-month consumer price inflation cooled in August 2026, with the year-over-year indicator easing to 4.24%, down from 4.52% recorded in July 2026.
The figures, updated on 26 August 2026, reflect a moderation in price pressures when comparing August’s mid-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) to the same period a year earlier. The previous reading for July was likewise based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring price changes against July of the prior year.
The slowdown from 4.52% to 4.24% suggests a modest reduction in inflation momentum at mid-month, a trend that will be closely watched by markets and policymakers as they assess the broader trajectory of prices in Brazil.
