  • Brazil's central bank raised its benchmark interest rate Wednesday by a larger-than-expected 0.75 point to 2.75 percent, as rising inflation forced it to reverse its pandemic stimulus stance. It was the first rate hike in six years for Latin America's biggest economy, which weathered last year's Covid-19 meltdown relatively well but now faces signs of another slowdown just as a surge in virus cases and deaths wreaks new havoc. The bank's monetary policy committee said it could make a similar increase at its next meeting in May, in a sign of how concerned policymakers are with rising inflation and the Brazilian real's slide against the dollar. "Barring a significant change in inflation projections or the balance of risks facing the economy, the committee foresees continuing the process of partially winding down its monetary stimulus with another adjustment of the same magnitude," it said in a statement. Brazil's annual inflation is forecast at 4.6 percent for 2021, above the bank's target of 3.75 percent -- though within its tolerance range of plus or minus 1.5 percentage points. The benchmark Selic rate had been at two percent, its all-time low, since August 2020. Analysts had forecast a hike of just half a percentage point. bur-jhb/sst
