What is the difference between IPCA and IGP-M?

IPCA measures consumer prices (retail) for families with 1-40 minimum wages and is the official inflation target. IGP-M includes wholesale (60% IPA), consumer (30% IPC) and construction (10% INCC) prices, making it more volatile. IGP-M is used to adjust rents and contracts.

Are Focus expectations updated regularly?

Yes. Market macroeconomic estimates are extracted fresh and synced weekly, mirroring the Monday morning official issues.

Why should I use the INPC metric?

INPC restricts the coverage to households earning 1 to 5 minimum wages. It is predominantly requested by HR analysts when updating labor union contracts or social benefits bounds.
