Brazil's consumer prices rose 0.79% in May, the fastest pace in more than three years, underscoring concerns about inflation pressures in Latin America's largest economy. The official benchmark IPCA consumer price index showed that prices of rice, meat and other staple food items kept pushing inflation as they had done in previous months.
The 0.79% of May is the biggest monthly increase since a 0.87% rise in April 2005, pointed out the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). Inflation in April was 0.55%. A Brazilian central bank survey among economists and market analysts anticipated 0.63%.
Food and beverage prices jumped 1.95% in May after a 1.29% increase in April and were the main culprit for the quickening of the inflation rate. Prices of soccer tickets surged 19.7% while banking services rose 8.74% and manicure costs were up 1.37%.
Brazil's central bank raised its benchmark Selic lending rate last week for the second time in less than two months to curb resurgent inflation and prevent the economy from overheating. The central bank hiked the Selic to 12.25%, the second consecutive 50-basis-point rate hike.
In the 12 months to May the IPCA rose 5.58% compared with a previously reported 5.04% increase in the year to April and 5.25% in the year to mid-May, the IBGE said.
The central bank, which uses the IPCA as a guide when setting interest rates, has a 4.5% inflation target for 2008 and 2009.
Great to have such a high INTERNAL inflation rate. You cant target anymore IMPORTED inflation......as you do so REGULARLY. Are you not the world cheapest producer of....MEAT...AS YOU PRETEND ????? Ohhhh sure.....exporting is better than feeding your own citizens first....in your view, and this is what you do.
May be agricultural subsidizies to your family farmers will make them less poors, more efficient producers. But yessssss....Brazil prefers to provide 80 % of their agricultural subsidizes to the LARGE minority farmers and 20 % to the 5 millions of family farmers. Large farmers will export competitively.....and family farmers will produce at a high price....generating HIGH local food prices relative to the incomes of the local buyers, creating more poverty not more wealth.

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area.
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy.
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil.
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms.
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis.
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking.
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse.
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj).
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
