Brazil’s General Market Price Index (IGP-M) climbed 2.73% in April 2026, marking a sharp acceleration from the 0.52% increase recorded in March 2026, according to data updated on 29 April 2026. The month‑over‑month jump underscores a notable intensification in wholesale and price pressures across the economy.

On a comparative basis, the latest reading shows that April’s change was significantly stronger than the previous month’s performance. While March’s 0.52% gain represented a moderate increase over February, April’s 2.73% result signals a much steeper month‑over‑month advance.

The IGP-M, widely tracked by financial markets and used as a benchmark for rent adjustments and various contracts, thus enters the second quarter of 2026 on a markedly higher trajectory, raising attention from investors and businesses sensitive to inflation-indexed costs.
