Brazil's central bank is set to keep its key interest rate unchanged on Wednesday for the last time in a policy hold period that began last year, according to a Reuters poll of economists who expect the first rate reduction to come soon. Analysts and investors are looking for signals of an exit from strict policy amid a growing urge to lighten credit conditions in Latin America's No. 1 economy, which in 2021 and 2022 underwent a surprisingly aggressive tightening campaign that added 1,175 basis points of hikes to fight inflation. The rate-setting committee of Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), known as Copom, will hold the benchmark Selic rate at 13.75% -its highest since 2017 - for the seventh and last meeting on Wednesday, according to all 47 economists polled June 12-15.
