Brazil's Malan Meets Cardoso To Discuss
Crisis

Dow Jones Newswires

BRASILIA -- Finance Minister Pedro Malan was meeting President Fernando
Henrique Cardoso late Monday night to discuss the current financial crisis, an
official Finance Ministry spokesman said Monday night.

He said the visit was not an official meeting and no other member of the
Brazilian government's economic team is accompanying him at the presidential
residence, or Alvorada Palace.

The spokesman said no statement will be issued after Malan's visit.

"The purpose of the visit is only to report to the President on last week's
meeting between Latin American finance minsters and International Monetary
Fund officials in Washington on the international market turmoil," he told Dow
Jones Newswires.

Earlier Monday - a public holiday - Cardoso denied at a press conference after
an Independence Day ceremony that the government is preparing an emergency
fiscal or economic package in response to the crisis.

The meeting between Cardoso and Malan ended just after 2330 GMT after
they were joined by other top officials of the Finance and Planning Ministries.

Participants identified as entering the presidential residence were, among others,
the Finance Ministry's executive secretary Pedro Parente and Planning Minister
Paulo Paiva, accompanied by advisors.

Nor Malan nor the others made any comments when leaving the Alvorada
Palace just before 2400 GMT.
