BRASILIA, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank
governor stressed on Wednesday that it is very important not to
retreat in institutional gains amid critics from President Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva and allies regarding central bank autonomy
and current interest rate level.
Speaking briefly at the commemoration of Brazil's Federal
Audit Court (TCU) anniversary in Congress, he stated that the
country must exercise fiscal discipline with a social
perspective, which requires "choice and methods."
