In brief: IMF raises growth forecast for Brazil
*The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released the latest edition of its World Economic Outlook report, which showed an annual growth forecast of 2.4% for Brazil this year. This marks an increase from the 1.9% projection from the IMF’s April report. The increase in the growth projection for Brazil comes despite a slight decrease in the overall projection for global economic output, with the IMF lowering its 2026 global growth forecast from 3.1% in the April report to 3.0% in July. However, economists surveyed by Brazil’s central bank (BCB) have a less optimistic outlook, with their latest projections showing an annual growth forecast of 1.99% for 2026.
