Brasilia, July 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Brazil has been coping well with the economic challenges caused by inflation, and the current problems faced by the population "are fleeting", President Jair Bolsonaro said, defending his government's economic measures.
The President also highlighted how his government had created an emergency aid program and a program that paid workers from companies that had suspended contracts or reduced wages during the most critical period of the pandemic in 2020, reports Xinhua news agency.
The country's inflation index, the National Broad Consumer Price Index, stood at 0.67 per cent of June, with an 11.89 per cent cumulative change in the last 12 months, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics said.
The central bank has set an inflation target of 3.5 per cent for 2022.
The 8.98 per cent drop in fuel prices in the last three weeks was the result of a new law obliging states to reduce taxes destined to finance the education and health systems, said Bolsonaro.
