Sample prompt

What is EIU's GDP and inflation outlook for Brazil through 2028, and what are the main risks to it?

Answer grounded in Bigdata.comCaptured 2 Oct 2026

EIU forecasts Brazil's real GDP growth at 2.0% in 2026 and 1.8% in 2027, edging up to 2.2% in 2028 as it assumes an end to the Iran war, lower energy prices and more orthodox policy under the next administration 1. Average consumer price inflation is expected at 4.4% in 2026, 4.1% in 2027 and 4.2% in 2028, with year-end inflation reaching 4.7% in 2026, above the central bank's 4.5% upper tolerance limit, while the average short-term interest rate falls from 12.0% to 9.3% 1. EIU calls fiscal policy the biggest source of macroeconomic risk, citing persistently wide deficits and a rising debt burden that it sees reaching almost 90% of GDP 2. El Niño adds upside risk to inflation and downside risk to growth, and high interest rates will weigh on activity until easing lifts growth later in the forecast period 1.
