Brazil Expects Intl Aid Total To Equal Financing Loss

September 28, 1998

Dow Jones Newswires

BRASILIA -- The total of an eventual international financial aid package for
Brazil could possibly be based on a value which will offset expected future
losses in foreign financial investments, a presidential spokesman said Monday.

"The exact value and format of such a package depend entirely on the outcome
of the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) starting
Saturday," official presidential spokesman Sergio Amaral said at his daily press
briefing.

He said the expectation of the Brazilian government is that the amount might
substitute international financing investments which Brazil will eventually no
longer receive as a result of the current financial turmoil affecting the country.

Falling just short of actually confirming the approval of an aid package, it is the
first time that a spokesman for Cardoso came so close in giving any concrete
details since the aid was mooted by market sources two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, both the central bank and the Finance Ministry confirmed Monday
that the Brazilian delegation to the IMF meeting will consist of some of the top
executives of the government's economic management team.

Central Bank President Gustavo Franco will be accompanied by his
international affairs director Demosthenes Madureira Pinho Neto and
Supervision Director Claudio Mauch.

Finance Minister Pedro Malan will be assisted by International Affairs
Secretary Marcos Caramuru, Economic Policy Director Amaury Bier and
Treasury Secretary Eduardo Guimaraes.
