Clinton calls IMF deal for Brazil important step

Reuters, Friday, November 13, 1998 at 12:04

WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - President Bill Clinton
hailed a $41 billion international deal for Brazil as an
important step in dealing with the global financial crisis.
"A strong Brazil makes for a stronger United States, and
today's announcement will help give both countries an
opportunity to secure a brighter future," Clinton said in a
statement.
Clinton said Brazil has launched a solid program to tackle
its fiscal problems.
"Today's agreement between the International Monetary Fund
and Brazil is an important step in our effort to deal
effectively with the global financial crisis and protect
American prosperity and jobs," Clinton said.
He said the package will put Brazil "in a position to
confront the financial turmoil that threatens growth not only
in emerging markets, but in economies around the world."
He said Brazil cut inflation from more than 2000 percent to
single digits in less than four years, helped lift 13 million
Brazilians above the poverty line, and achieved economic growth
of 4 percent a year.
