Brazil's Franco Denies Curbs On Dollar
Outflows

Dow Jones Newswires

BRASILIA -- No special measures are being considered to restrict the
heavy outflow of U.S. dollars, Central Bank president Gustavo Franco said
through his press office late Thursday.

Franco is in Washington attending a meeting of Latin American finance
ministers with International Monetary Fund officials on the current upheavals
in Russia and Asia.

A Central Bank spokesman said Franco denied rumors circulating in Brazil
earlier Thursday that the government was about to introduce restrictions on
capital outflows which have been surging in recent days.

Market sources claim the country is losing some $1 billion a day since the
Russian crisis last week and that the outflow could snowball following
Moody's Investor Service's downgrading of the rating on Brazil's foreign
debt Thursday.
