The decline in the IPA was not more intense due to the increase in prices of livestock products, such as cattle, meat, and milk," says André Braz, economist at FGV IBRE. "In the consumer sphere, where the rate showed a significant slowdown, the movements in formal courses and airfares stand out, both registering a decrease in their rates of variation. In the construction sector, less intense increases in labor costs contributed to the slowdown in inflation in this segment," he concludes. The IGP-10 inflation rate measures the variation in prices of products and services from the eleventh day of the previous month to the tenth day of the current month.
