Fischer: IMF Willing To Put Up $15B For
Brazil - Agency

Dow Jones Newswires

BUENOS AIRES -- The International Monetary Fund is willing to put up
$15 billion of the estimated $30-billion international aid package being
sought by Brazil, IMF Deputy Managing Director Stanley Fischer said
Thursday, local news agency Diarios y Noticias reported.

"The $30-billion figure is what Brazil presented," Fischer said, adding:
"The amount that we are willing to provide is $15 billion."

Fischer, who made his comments after addressing an economic
conference in Buenos Aires, said he expected an accord to be reached on
the Brazilian aid package by the end of this week or early next week.

"The reason that the agreement still isn't decided is because it has to be
known with precision what the government is going to do and how," he
said. "After that, we will be able to define how much financing will be
necessary and who can provide it."

Fischer couldn't be reached for comment.
