Briefings

Brazil's INPC inflation index closed September at 0.82%, resulting in a 12-month cumulative rate of 4.29%. This figure influences salary adjustments and social security benefits, with food items accounting for approximately 25% of the index. The IBGE collected data from 11 metropolitan regions plus Brasília, Goiânia, Campo Grande, Rio Branco, São Luís, and Aracaju. A separate IPCA index reached 4.58% for the same period, reflecting broader consumer price changes across all income groups.

Key points

• The INPC inflation index closed September at 0.82%, resulting in a 12-month cumulative rate of 4.29%.
• Food items account for approximately 25% of the INPC index, more than the IPCA's 21% due to lower-income households spending a higher proportion on food.

Context and limitations

Data collection covers only 11 metropolitan regions plus Brasília, Goiânia, Campo Grande, Rio Branco, São Luís, and Aracaju. The INPC focuses on families earning one to five minimum wages, while IPCA covers one to forty minimum wages.
