Bleeding caused by inflation
The balance between consumer countries and producer countries must exist and is essential. This avoids shortages and price volatility, preventing price fluctuations and an inflationary imbalance.
We have some mechanisms that can determine this stop in the bleeding of prices and services, but with the pressure on purchases it can make this retreat in prices more difficult.
As a recent example, we experienced high prices for various products/commodities during the pandemic, leaving all prices out of control.
These rises in prices greatly favored the interests of exporters, with the appreciation of their products also raising domestic prices, sacrificing the population and contributing to the increase in inflation.
In Brazil and around the world, Central Banks enter the interest rate market whenever inflation gets out of control, raising interest rates in order to discourage further increases.
Even knowing that the forces of price increases are international and are pressured by large consumer countries, mainly coming from populous countries like China, India, Japan, among others.
There are several inflation indices that are measured and monitored by the Central Bank:
CPI (Consumer Price Index); IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index); INPC (National Consumer Price Index); IPA (Extended Producer Price Index); INCC (National Civil Construction Price Index); IGP (General Price Index); IPC-Fipe (Consumer Price Index of the Economic Research Institute Foundation); IGP-M (General Market Price Index).
Thus, at the height of these inflationary highs, we need to have the collaboration of governments, the market, businessmen and the population so that we can have a balance in prices, that is, everyone has to collaborate, this will benefit everyone.
