Trade charge projection for 2022 and 2023 stays at BRL 5.20

The annual exchange rate projection published in Focus is calculated based on the average for the rate for the month of December

The Focus Market Report, released this Monday, 12, by the Central Bank (BC), showed maintenance in the US currency scenario in 2022 and 2023 for the seventh week in a row. The estimate for the exchange rate this year remained at R$5.20, the same value as a month earlier. For 2023, it also remained at R$5.20, repeating the estimate from four weeks ago.

The annual exchange projection published in Focus is calculated based on the average for the rate in December, and no longer on the value projected for the last business day of each year, as it was until 2020. With this, the BC expects to bring greater accuracy for financial market exchange rate projections.
