Brazil cenbank to announce budget deficit data

Reuters, Tuesday, November 17, 1998 at 13:41

BRASILIA, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Brazil's Central Bank was due
to announce public sector budget deficit data for the
January-August period at 1100 local/1300 GMT Wednesday, a
Central Bank spokesman said.
Between January and July, the nominal budget deficit stood
at 7.02 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). The Central
Bank recently stopped reporting the deficit over 12 months.
The government last month announced a sweeping fiscal
austerity drive to tackle the budget gap, considered the
Achilles heel of Brazil's four-year economic recovery.
The nominal budget deficit is forecast to narrow to 4.7
percent of GDP in 1999, according to official estimates, with
an improvement in primary accounts due to offset the projected
growth in net public sector debt.
The Central Bank was also due to release monetary base
details for the month of September.
