RIO DE JANEIRO, March 14 (Reuters) - The economic
affairs committee of Brazil's Senate on Tuesday approved an
invitation for central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto to attend
a hearing aimed at discussing the country's interest rates.
The move comes after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
criticized Campos Neto multiple times over high interest rates,
saying the current level of 13.75% - a six-year high - hinders
economic growth.
