The purpose of this study is to analyze the actions of the Central Bank of Brazil in the financial crisis of 2008/2009, with reference to the Inflation Targeting Regime. Thus, the methodological procedure was the analysis and systematization of official documents. Is important to note that the Central Bank's actions in the crisis proved to be dubious, as it sought to free up liquidity with the compulsory reserves and, in parallel, withdrawing liquidity from the market to prevent the Selic rate to fall below target. On the other hand, the keeping of interest rates in 2008 showed that the Targeting Regime in Brazil proved to be hard in the period in which the variations in the Selic rate tended to be gradual and flagged. The analysis proposed in the work is presented in four chapters. Initially, the formation of a new consensus in macroeconomics which justifies the use of inflation targeting as a monetary policy framework since the mid 1990s. Then we describe the adoption of inflation targeting regime in Brazil in July 1999. Chapter two describes also the actions the Ministry of Finance with special attention to the role of public banks. Chapter three examines the policy measures of the Central Bank related to the provision of liquidity in domestic currency, especially the compulsory reserves, and liquidity in dollars in the foreign exchange market interventions. It is observed that at this moment the Central Bank maintained the Selic rate unchanged. Finally, we discuss the decision making of the Monetary Authority in relation to the interest rate, such as maintaining the rate in October and December 2008, the decrease between January and July 2009 and interrupted in September
