Brazil's Cntrl Bk: No Curbs On
Floating-Dlr Mkt - Estado

Dow Jones Newswires

RIO DE JANEIRO -- A Central Bank of Brazil official said Friday the
government is not considering curbs on the floating-rate dollar market nor
restrictions on imports, the Estado news agency reported.

Some market participants believe the government may be forced to take
one or both measures to staunch capital flight.

"There is no such thing," said Maria do Socorro de Carvalho, head of the
reserves department. "We've chosen to work with classic orthodox
policies, such as boosting interest rates."

At 2100 GMT Friday, preliminary central bank figures showed Brazil's
exchange markets registering an outflow of $855 million. On Thursday,
outflow reached $1.8 billion, bringing September remittances to $11
billion.
