| description | Since the 1960s, when the “indexation of financial operations” was
implemented in Brazil, a hot item of discussion has been the most appro p r i a t e d
index that should be used for monetary correction of values, in a highly
i n f l a t i o n a ry economy over time. In 2004, this topic is still being discussed, even
after the considerable decline of Brazil’s inflation rate and the partial removal of
indexation. The current availability of multiple price indicators, based on
d i ff e rent methodologies and showing a wide array of results, has generated
doubts about Brazil’s true inflation rate. This paper provides a historical
perspective on how price indicators evolved around the globe and in Brazil.
This paper also elaborates on their evolution; on the creation of new indicators
and on the elimination of indexes that became obsolete over time. This paper
also defines the meaning of several indexes calculated in Brazil, by several o rganizations, and offers a comparative analysis of their evolution over time.
Special heed is paid to the universal definition of Consumer Prices Indexes as
an overall inflation indicator. This paper also highlights the improper use of
indexes for some specific uses, such as the use of the IGP-M for the indexation
of rents and charges of public services. Finally, the author presents a pro p o s a l
that offers a set of indexes that would best apply in a modern economy |
