With this, the index has accumulated a 7.45% rise this year and 8.24% over the last 12 months.

Yesterday (15), a new battery of upward revisions to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 2022 was released.

EQI Asset revised the 2022 GDP from 2.2% to 2.5%, despite the expectation of a slowdown in the fourth quarter. “Since the first and second quarters were very good, even if you have a slowdown in the fourth quarter, you contract a better projection for the year,” explains Stephan Kautz, chief economist at the manager.
