1 MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK Adjustments in Brazil s economic policy in 2015 will likely produce more sustainable GDP growth rates going forward Economic Research Department - DEPEC
2 A few months ago we argued that the significant slide in confidence indicators pointed to downward revisions in GDP forecasts. Confidence readings have since declined further, amid increases in industrial inventories, uncertainties surrounding the global scenario and exchangerate volatility. Although it is difficult to establish causality between GDP and confidence levels, there is no doubt that falling confidence tends to delay the resumption of investments. In itself, this situation would already require a revision in our forecasts. But this revision became imperative last week, with the beginning of the interest-rate hiking cycle. We thus revised our main estimates for 2014 and GDP is now expected to expand 0.5% this year and 1.0% next year. Our year-end forecasts for the benchmark rate and the exchange rate now stand at 11.50% and BRL/USD 2.45 in 2014 and at 12.00% and 2.55 in Our estimates for the consumer price index IPCA point to 6.50% this year, slowing down somewhat next year to 6.30%.
3 The normalization of U.S. monetary policy will begin in 2015 (probably in the second half), in a process that will be gradual and properly signaled to markets. The magnitude of the interest-rate adjustment by the Federal Reserve is an open question, especially because of the imminentlydeflationary environment in Europe, the increase in monetary stimuli in Japan and falling oil prices. However, signals point to acceleration in U.S. growth, a stronger dollar and a moderate advance in long-term U.S. Treasury yields. Hence, emerging-market currencies tend to weaken, and even more so because of lower expected growth in China and the widespread drop in commodity prices.

6 The fiscal adjustment that will be necessary in the next years. The expected rebound in investments and confidence levels assumes that fiscal policy will be re-directed, focused on the sustainability of public accounts. A gradual recovery in the primary budget surplus in 2015 will be important, but even more important will be positive signals about its medium-term path, favoring perceptions and economic growth.
7 We believe the Brazilian economy will expand 1.0% in 2015, up from an estimated 0.5% this year. We acknowledge that high industrial inventories, concerns over possible rationing of water and/or electricity and the recession in Argentina intensify the challenges to domestic growth, especially in the manufacturing sector. But in our view, potentially-better signals in terms of economic policy tend to minimize the costs of the inevitable adjustment. In the final months of 2015 we will probably see stronger evidence of a pickup in growth, pointing to a better year in Yet, the labor market usually shows a lagged reaction to the slowdown in growth. The unemployment rate (measured by census bureau IBGE in its Monthly Employment Survey) is set to increase to 5.7% on average in 2015 from 4.9% in 2014.

22 The IPCA will finish 2014 at the upper-limit of the target range, at 6.5%, but head to 6.3% in On one hand, regulated prices will likely continue to adjust (in 2014 part of this process was larger than we anticipated), and the same goes for the exchange rate (the main risk to our inflation scenario). 22 On the other hand, international commodity prices and adjustments in economic policy (both in the monetary and fiscal spheres) will provide downward contributions to inflation.

28 OUTLOOK FOR INTEREST RATE AND EXCHANGE RATE 28 28
29 The Central Bank s Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) will tighten at a pace of 25 bps per meeting, ending 2014 at 11.50% and reaching 12.00% by March The minutes of the November meeting, which started the tightening cycle, did not provide details on the total size of the adjustment. However, we assume there will be some contribution from fiscal policy, so that the burden on monetary policy could be lighter. In that sense, we expect the public sector s primary budget surplus to increase to 1.25% of GDP next year from 0.25% this year. The fiscal effort in 2015 will be important, but even more important will be government signals regarding the medium-term sustainability of public accounts. Hence, the federal budget in 2015 should come with a viable promise of inter-temporal adjustment, which would lead to stabilization in the public sector s net debt/gdp ratio in coming years.

32 Assuming gradual normalization of U.S. monetary policy and adjustments in the domestic economy, our year-end forecasts for the exchange rate stand at 2.45 in 2014 and 2.55 in These levels may be enough to sustain the external debt/gdp 1 ratio at current levels next year, and the trade balance near zero (our estimates are a deficit of $2.4 billion in 2014 and a surplus of $1.0 billion in 2015). The risk here is toward further depreciation. But if a worse scenario materializes, the Central Bank may extend its intervention program, using FX swap contracts. If this new direction of economic policy comes through, the weakening move in the Brazilian currency would likely be cushioned.
