Central Bank of Brazil Authorizes 75-Basis Point Rate Cut
June 18, 2020
As was expected, Brazil’s monetary policy committee known as Copom cut its Selic interest rate by another 75 basis points to 2.25% and matching the reduction made in May. A pair of 25-basis point reductions were done earlier in February and March. In a released statement from the Central Bank of Brazil, however, officials noted that the room for additional easing is now limited, and they urged more fiscal economic support.
