Briefings

The Brazilian Central Bank (BC) will begin monthly publishing new indicators on negotiated salary adjustments based on collective labor agreements. Using data from the Mediator system and the Ministry of Labor, these metrics track nominal and real wage growth relative to inflation, aiming to improve market monitoring and inflation control. Research indicates that real wage gains are more frequent during economic expansions with low unemployment, a trend observed between 2012-2014 and resurging since 2023. The new data covers all regions and major sectors, including agriculture, industry, construction, commerce, and services, and will be available via the Banco Central's Series Temporal System (SGS).
