Brazil's IBC-Br economic activity index falls 0.27% in December - central bank
BRASILIA, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Economic activity in Brazil fell more than expected in December, a central bank indicator showed on Friday, tying in with other data suggesting Latin America's largest economy lost steam at the end of last year.
The central bank's IBC-Br economic activity index, a leading indicator of gross domestic product (GDP), fell 0.27% from November, compared with the median estimate in a Reuters poll of economists of a 0.23% decline.
The index rose 0.89% in 2019, the central bank said. (Reporting by Jamie McGeever; editing by John Stonestreet)
