Rate cut may lower Brazilian borrowing costs



Country:  Brazil

6 May 2009

The Brazilian Central Bank has announced an interest rate cut of 1%, the third straight decrease in as many months.

The policymaker’s decision to reduce the rate from 11.25% to a record low of 10.25%, in an attempt to boost the economy, should see the cost of borrowing money to fund a Brazil property purchase fall.

"Evaluating the macroeconomic scenario and looking to expand the process of monetary easing, the Copom decided unanimously to cut the Selic rate to 10.25 percent, without bias," a statement from the committee said.

Meanwhile, Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has predicted that the country will emerge from the international financial crisis in an "extraordinary manner", according to Xinhua news service.

President da Silva said good results registered in the main economic indicators show that Brazil will soon emerge from the global downturn.

"I think the Brazilian people have no reason to be afraid. Considering Brazil's figures, I think the worst has already gone by," da Silva added.
