Abstract

Brazil is undergoing hyperinflation, even though the currency is not dead yet.
But for any plan on inflation and stabilization to work, one must acknowledge that the process
is hyperinflationary, not just inflationary This paper presents a series of possible ways to
overcome this situation, including the need for a permanent fiscal adjustment.
