Brazil Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth

Brazil's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy, released quarterly. It is the broadest single gauge of economic health and is closely tracked by the Banco Central do Brasil when setting monetary policy.

Why Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth matters for BRL

GDP is a primary driver of central bank rate decisions—strong growth raises the probability of tighter monetary policy, which tends to support the brl. Divergences in growth between two economies are a core foundation of FX fundamental analysis.

How to interpret this series

A print above consensus suggests the Brazil economy is expanding faster than expected, which is broadly positive for the brl. A miss can fuel rate-cut expectations and weaken the currency. Revisions to prior quarters can be as market-moving as the headline release.

What this data measures

Gross Domestic Product measures the total value of goods and services produced inside a country, usually reported quarterly in real (inflation-adjusted) terms. It is the broadest available measure of an economy's growth rate.

How to read the release

GDP is reported quarter-over-quarter (often annualised in the US) or year-over-year. Compare currencies on the same definition where possible. Use this table alongside retail_sales, industrial_production, and PMI for a higher-frequency read on the same growth picture.

Brazil Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth API docs

Developer reference, data provenance, response schema, and examples are kept on this same country indicator page so the public research page and API documentation do not compete with each other.

Endpoint coverage and contract

This page documents the exact request inputs, response fields, access model, and currently published history window for /api/v1/announcements/brl/gdp.

Currently documented history runs from 2010-03-31 to 2026-03-31 for this endpoint.

Production OpenAPI schema: https://fxmacrodata.com/api/openapi.json

Data source

IBGE

Access and authentication

USD is free without a key. All other currencies require a Professional API key.

Public USD endpoint — anonymous callers receive the most recent 365 days. Add `?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY` to page through full stored USD history or to access any other currency. Date filters are applied before pagination. The default page size is 20 rows and the maximum is 100. Use either `page` or `offset`; when both are provided, `page` takes precedence. Broad windows should be traversed with `pagination.next_offset`, not split into custom shorter-window retries. If the selected series exists but a requested date window has no observations, the API returns a structured `NO_DATA_IN_REQUESTED_WINDOW` 404 with coverage dates, `recommended_start_date`, and `available_observation_count`. Forecasts are served separately by /v1/predictions/brl; join via `announcement_id`.

Data source and provenance

Macroeconomic announcement and catalogue rows are normalized from official central-bank, national statistics, treasury, or government publisher releases. Responses expose publisher metadata via source, source_url, and provenance fields where available.

Responses expose source, source_url, provenance, and data_quality fields for source citation, timestamp completeness, stale-data flags, and point-in-time safety checks.

Optional Indicator Availability (BRL)

Optional indicators use per-currency fetcher capability checks and may be temporarily hidden while source coverage is being remediated.

Path parameters

Brazil Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth API path parameters
Parameter	Required	Type	Description
`currency`	YES	`string`	3-letter currency code.
`indicator`	YES	`string`	Indicator slug. Use /v1/data_catalogue/{currency} to list available slugs per currency.

Query parameters

Brazil Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth API query parameters
Parameter	Required	Format	Description
`start_date`	NO	`string (YYYY-MM-DD)`	Earliest observation date to include. Date filters are applied before pagination. Authenticated requests page through full stored history when omitted; anonymous USD requests are limited to the most recent 365 days and 100 no-key requests/day.
`end_date`	NO	`string (YYYY-MM-DD)`	Latest observation date to include. Defaults to today.
`limit`	NO	`integer`	Maximum number of most-recent-first rows to return per page. Defaults to 20; maximum 100.
`page`	NO	`integer`	One-based page number. When supplied, page takes precedence over offset; page=2 with limit=20 is equivalent to offset=20.
`offset`	NO	`integer`	Zero-based row offset after date filtering. Use with pagination.next_offset to request the next page.
`api_key`	Pro (USD: no-key 100/day)	`string`	Professional API key. Required for non-USD currencies and for USD requests that need history older than 365 days.

Pagination behavior

Use start_date and end_date to narrow the series first, then page through the filtered result with limit plus either page or offset. The default page size is 20 rows and the maximum is 100. The response includes earliest_available_date, latest_available_date, and a pagination object with returned_count, total_count, has_more, next_offset, and page_includes_latest_available. If the selected series exists but the requested date window has no rows, the endpoint returns 404 with error_code=NO_DATA_IN_REQUESTED_WINDOW.
