Brazil's inflation target in 2018 is 4.5 percent, and for next year it is 4.25 percent, with a 1.5 percentage-point margin of tolerance.

The transfer to prices by the rise of the U.S. dollar has remained in check in Brazil, with the exception of some items such as fuel, Copom said.

"These effects can be mitigated by the degree of idleness in the economy and the inflation expectations anchored in the goals," it said.

Although inflation indexes indicate a rise in prices, they are still in line with the goal targeted by the Central Bank of Brazil.

Last week's Copom meeting was the last before the Oct. 7 elections.

The next meeting is scheduled for the week after a possible second round of the elections scheduled for Oct. 28, which will decide Brazil's next president.
