Signs of loss of rhythm and decline in demand
In October 2025, the Brazilian industry presented an increase in production. Additionally, the rate of accumulation of inventory was moderate, leading to inventories at a level very close to that planned by companies. However, the Industrial Capacity Utilization (UCI) remained stable. On the other hand, the number of employees decreased from September to October. Furthermore, the index of expectation for the number of employees over the next six months receded and continues to show a decrease in contractions for the fourth consecutive month.
