Brazil Slashes 2026 GDP Growth Forecast to 2%
Brazil's Finance Ministry has revised its economic projections for 2026 and 2027. The 2026 GDP growth forecast has been cut to 2.0% from 2.3%, while the 2027 forecast has been reduced to 2.3% from 2.5%. Inflation forecasts have also been adjusted, with 2026 projected at 4.9% and 2027 at 3.8%.
