Decline in Brazil’s inflation rate nears bottom (Revised from Oct-9)

As Brazil solidly exits its 4+ year recession their interest rates are expected to drop yet again. Currently, interest rates have dropped from 14% to 8.25%. Inflation rates have fallen from nearly 10% to 2.54% which is well below the Central Banks ideal rate of 4.5%.
