About the Selic target

Brazil’s Selic target, from the BIS policy-rate data set (WS_CBPOL, BR). Current: 14.00% on Sep 17, 2026. Since 1999 this is the overnight Selic target; earlier stretches splice other Banco Central do Brasil instruments.

The chart is a step at policy changes. From Jun 4, 1986 to Sep 17, 2026 (14,716 observations): mean 1674.34%, median 15.00%; low 2.00% (Aug 6, 2020), high 790799.14% (Feb 19, 1990). Not a mortgage or deposit rate. This page is not an official BIS publication.

Reading this series

Brazil's Selic target is the policy rate set by the Banco Central do Brasil's Copom committee and is the anchor for the overnight interbank rate. This page uses the BIS central bank policy rate series for Brazil (WS_CBPOL), compiled with the Banco Central do Brasil, stored as dated level changes and drawn as daily steps from 1986. Since 1999 the series is the overnight Selic target; earlier stretches splice other central-bank instruments, which the BIS converts into a comparable policy measure. The target changes only at Copom decisions.

Read the headline with its as-of date, then the "versus the previous reading" line. When the target has been held, the page surfaces the date of the last actual move rather than zero changes. Mean, median, low and high are arithmetic summaries of the observations in this build, not official aggregates. Chart and Table show the same series two ways, the range buttons filter the drawn window, and Explore loads zoom and pan on request. The Selic target is a policy rate, not a mortgage or deposit rate, and this page is not an official BIS publication.
