The strike of central bank officials will delay the release of indicators

The strike of central bank employees that started last Friday (1) will delay the disclosure of some indicators of autonomy. According to BC Focus Bulletin, Selected Indices (Indeco), which include exchange rate movement in Brazil, BC exchange operations and the Commodity Index (IC-Br) on the scheduled dates of this week, will not be released tomorrow until April 8. The savings report, which is published monthly on the fourth business day of the month, will also be affected.

“In due course, we will inform the dates of their respective releases. Notice of the new dates will be given at least 24 hours in advance. The strike is not over yet,” BC said in a press release.

Delay

The February offshore, credit and tax statistics, which were supposed to be known last week, are also delayed due to the 4-hour daily outages that servers have been making since March 17. Likewise, the weekly exchange flow was not disclosed last week.

BC and the agency’s management hit the hammer regarding the maintenance of the Pix, the Brazilian Propulsion System (SPB) and other autonomous systems, as well as operating operating schedules, during the class strike.

The suspension was approved last Monday, after three months of mobilizing for a job restructuring and a 26.3% salary reset. The Central Bank Employees Union (SENAL) expected that 60% to 70% of the authority’s employees, i.e. 3,500 employees, will join.
