Brazil’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.88% in March 2026, marking an acceleration from the 0.70% increase recorded in February 2026, according to data updated on 10 April 2026. On a month-over-month basis, this indicates that price pressures strengthened compared with the previous month.

The “Actual” figure for March reflects the change in prices versus February 2026, while the “Previous” figure for February captures the change relative to January 2026. The step-up from 0.70% to 0.88% suggests that inflationary momentum has picked up at the start of the second quarter, a development likely to be closely monitored by markets and policymakers assessing the trajectory of Brazil’s inflation outlook and potential implications for monetary policy.
