Por que as taxas de juros são tão elevadas no Brasil?: uma avaliação empírica

Abstract: This paper aims at exploring some hypothesis to explain why real interest rate and bank spread are so high. We argue that the interest rate problem and bank spread problem are connected. More precisely, one important cause of bank spread is the high level of BCB interest rate. So, the solution of interest rate problem, so that it can converge to the levels observed in other countries, will help to reduce bank spread, and doing so contributing to the reduction of the capital cost of the Brazilian economy.Keywor… Show more

“…In this case, exchange rate volatility is able to explain most of the changes in inflation in Brazil since the IT implementation. This is supported by an empirical study by Oreiro et al (2012) that shows that the variation in the exchange rates is the main determinant of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and central bank interest rate in the country.…”

“…Brazil. In addition, they argue that, since the country has cost-push inflation due to its indexed prices and high exchange rate pass-through, interest rate policy is not the appropriate tool to control inflation (Modenesi and Modenesi 2012;Oreiro et al 2012;Summa and Serrano 2012). In combination with conservative interest rate-setting, this induces the BCB to keep on raising its policy rate without succeeding in reducing inflation, thus pushing CBRIR up (Modenesi 2011).…”

“…(Modenesi; (13) Para compreender melhor a relação entre o processo de indexação de preços e taxa de inflação e taxa de juros no Brasil, ver Oreiro e De Paula (2010) e De Carvalho (2014). Modenesi, 2008;Oreiro et al, 2012). Segundo Modenesi e Modenesi (2008), a combinação de uma inflação resistente (apesar de dentro da meta) e taxas de juros extremamente elevadas é um forte indício de que há alguma falha na transmissão da política monetária.…”

“…Em direção similar, Mendonça (2007) enfatiza o elevado peso dos preços administrados na composição do índice do IPCA, que na verdade deveriam considerar apenas os preços livres, pois aqueles são insensíveis em relação à taxa de juros. Ademais, Oreiro et al (2012) sustenta que a indexação diária dos títulos públicos, dada pela cláusula do preço de recompra, contribui para eliminar o efeito riqueza da política monetária, tornando-a ineficiente. Destaca-se ainda que, em um ambiente de elevadas taxas de juros, os agentes também tendem a ficar menos sensíveis a pequenas variações nos juros, necessitando de altas variações e, consequentemente, taxas de juros de curto prazo cada vez mais elevadas para promover choques contracionistas na atividade econômica.…”
