SAO PAULO, June 29 (Reuters) - Brazil's finance minister has confirmed the country's monetary council will keep next year's inflation target at 3%, but reiterated he expects the body to tweak the time frame used to assess the goal's fulfillment. Fernando Haddad's remarks in an interview with GloboNews aired late on Wednesday came as markets on Thursday closely watch the National Monetary Council's (CMN) meeting for potential changes on inflation targets. Inflation targets that have the calendar year as a time frame cause "unnecessary pressure," he said. The central bank currently targets inflation of 3.25% in 2023 and 3% in 2024 and 2025, with a tolerance margin of 1.5 percentage points up or down. Lula previously hinted at potentially changing inflation targets to increase them and enable monetary policy easing, a move that helped worsen expectations for consumer price changes.
