However, uncertainties persist in the international context due to trade barriers implemented this year.<br \/>\nWith this measure, the monetary authority reaffirms its commitment to price stability and the preservation of the country's macroeconomic stability.<\/p>\n<p>This is a news service prepared by ICS.
