Selic tightening
On 28 April Brazil's central bank monetary policy committee (Copom)
voted unanimously to lift the benchmark Selic interest rate 75 basis points to
9.5%, without bias, the first increase in 19 months (since early September
2008). The bank is clearly signalling that it is more bothered about inflation
than an overvalued Real.
