Brazil’s economy grew more than expected in September, supporting the central bank’s concern that inflation control efforts are being challenged by strong economic activity and a tight labor market. The central bank’s economic activity index rose 0.8% from August. Annual inflation climbed to 4.76% in October, surpassing the central bank’s tolerance range of 4.5%. Core inflation remains above the 3% target, driven by a tight labor market, and expansionary fiscal policy.
