Panelist insight: On the inflation outlook and the implications for monetary policy, Itaú Unibanco analysts said: “We forecast an above-consensus [end-2026 inflation] print of 4.4%. The disinflation process ahead is likely to remain gradual amid persistent El Niño risks. Against this backdrop, and with activity holding up, we expect the BCRP to resume its tightening cycle, delivering a cumulative 50bp in hikes by year-end, taking the policy rate to 4.75%.”
