Brazil’s General Market Price Index (IGP-M) recorded a month-over-month increase of 1.47% in October 2026, a slight deceleration from the 1.57% rise observed in September 2026. The fresh reading, updated on 29 October 2026, indicates that while inflationary pressures captured by the IGP-M remain elevated, they have eased marginally compared with the previous month.
On a month-over-month basis, October’s 1.47% climb compares with the 1.57% expansion in September, which itself reflected the change from August to September. The modest slowdown suggests a small but notable cooling in the pace of price increases across the components tracked by the index. The IGP-M is widely monitored by financial markets and businesses in Brazil, particularly because it serves as a reference for price adjustments in various contracts, including leases and some utility tariffs.
