Through
Complementary Law No. 179/21, the Central Bank of Brazil ensured its autonomy. Thus, it conferred greater freedom to the Central Bank
of Brazil in the use of monetary instruments for the fulfillment of goals established by the CMN. Through this law, price stability was
defined as the primary objective of the Central Bank of Brazil, in addition to ensuring the stability and efficiency of the financial
system, smoothing out economic activity level fluctuations and promoting full employment. The Central Bank of Brazil is considered an
autarchy of a special nature, characterized by the absence of any ties to a ministry.
