Brazil’s mid-month consumer inflation quickened in April 2026, with the year-over-year CPI reading rising to 4.37%, up from 3.90% recorded in March 2026.
According to data updated on 28 April 2026, the current figure reflects the change in prices for April compared with the same month a year earlier. The previous reading, at 3.90%, represented the change in March prices versus March a year ago, underscoring a clear acceleration in inflation on a year-over-year basis.
The latest mid-month CPI result suggests mounting price pressures in the Brazilian economy, as the April print has moved further away from the pace observed a month earlier, highlighting a re-intensification of inflationary dynamics heading into the second quarter of 2026.
