The expert adds that the public institution will keep an eye on the figures provided by the Fed in the United States.
The president even implied, earlier this week, that an increase in the key rate is not expected.

“I was very wrong in the last year, but I will still predict that the rate will remain stable in the decision of October 25,” he mentions.
