LatAm Daily | A more gradual implementation of the fiscal adjustment in Brazil

Summary

The government reduced its primary surplus targets to only 0.15% of GDP in 2015, 0.7% in 2016 and 1.3% in 2017, implying that it will take longer to halt the upward trend in public debt. This downward revision, together with the mid-July inflation figures also released yesterday, increases the likelihood of another 50bp hike of the Selic rate next week.
