Bank of Brazil hikes rates for the fourth time in as many months

central-bank-brazil

The Central Bank of Brazil yesterday raised its main interest rate by half a percentage point in an attempt to rein in inflation and prop up a currency that has been assailed by volatile global financial markets over the past few weeks.

The move, which was widely expected by observers, sets the bank's benchmark Selic rate at 9% – 1.75 percentage points higher than in April, when the rate was at a record low. The bank has since raised rates four consecutive times.
