BRASIL : CBank Raises Benchmark Selic...To 7.5%...In Initial Inflation Fight.
For the 1st time since July 2011...Brasil's Central Bank raised the Selic...its benchmark interest rate...by 25 bps..to 7.5%.
Inflation recently has surged past the CBank's ceiling target rate...of 6.5%.
But many economists say the increase is too timid...a 'hesitant blow'...that only copes with inflation but doesn't tame it.
Some analysts forecast an 8.5% Selic by year end.
