Brazilian economic activity falls back 0.51% in May

July 14, 2017 by

Economic activity fell back by 0.51% in May compared to the previous month, the Central Bank said Friday in releasing its monthly Economic Activity Index (IBC-Br). But May’s economic activity advanced 1.4% against May of 2016. In April, economic activity showed a 0.15% gain over the previous month. Brazil’s economy is experiencing a rocky recovery from two years of recession, with inflation and interest rates declining but unemployment remaining stubbornly high. Economists are forecasting modest growth for calendar 2017 of about 0.5% after two years of sharp decline.
