Brazil's forex markets lost $450 mln on Thursday

Reuters, Friday, October 09, 1998 at 09:16

SAO PAULO, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Brazil lost another $450
million through its foreign exchange markets on Thursday,
traders said. Dollar flight resumed on Wednesday following
Sunday's elections.
The renewed outflows threaten to pressure Brazil's reserves
while officials hammer out the details of a fiscal adjustment
plan that could pave the way for international loans.
Capital flight through Brazil's forex markets peaked after
Russia was forced to devalue its currency and declare a debt
moratorium. Dollar outflows topped $18 billion in September.
On Thursday, some $296 million left Brazil through its
commercial forex market, the Central Bank said, while $154
million left through the floating forex market, traders said.
Dollar flight is expected to persist until Brazil's
economic outlook is clarified.
Two days of dollar inflows right before and after Sunday's
elections mean Brazil has registered net inflows of $1.233
billion so far in October.
