BRASILIA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank
stressed the existence of two fiscal risks that may push
inflation upwards, one linked to the review of the country's
fiscal framework and the other to fiscal stimuli granted by the
government.
In the minutes of the meeting held between Jan 31-Feb 1,
when the rate-setting committee known as Copom kept the
benchmark rate at 13.75%, some members of the committee noted
that the government's fiscal package already presented by the
Finance Ministry should mitigate the fiscal risk, but "it will
be important to monitor the challenges for its implementation".
