The union also reported that “lagged wages and unjustifiable asymmetries” deteriorate the work climate and interfere with routine. Support The union expressed its support for the house’s employees, who were in charge of collecting and publishing the data. The entity also pointed out that BC employees are continuing projects that were interrupted in the first half of last year, after a standard operation at the beginning of the year and a strike that lasted for three months. “Despite this, the servants of the monetary authority have carried out their duties with exemplary character, diligence and excellence. Proof of this are the good daily deliveries and recent major projects: Pix, Open Finance, Receivables System, etc. Fruit of the tireless work of the entire staff, which has been impelled to do more with less on a daily basis”, he informed. The entity also supported the head of the BC’s Department of Statistics, Fernando Rocha, who revealed the error yesterday (26) at a press conference. “In view of the great repercussion of the issue, Sinal reaffirms its confidence in the quality and honesty of the work of the servers that make up the Department of Statistics (Dstat), under the command of colleague Fernando Rocha”, highlighted the statement. Collection Sinal also demanded clarification from the president of the BC, Roberto Campos Neto, and from other bodies, such as the Economic Policy Secretariat, about the situation of the body’s employees. According to the entity, an autonomous monetary authority cannot do without valued servers and must operate with a number of servers compatible with its attributions. “Finally, it is worth highlighting that it would be up to the holder of the Economic Policy portfolio, or even President Roberto Campos Neto, to come forward to publicize further clarifications and reinforce confidence in the work of the BC’s staff.

In addition to the difference of about US$ 12.8 billion last year, the BC recorded a gap of US$ 1.7 billion between October and December 2021. This raised to US$ 14.5 billion the total wrongly accounted for by the BC.
