NEW YORK (Reuters) -Brazil's central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto on Thursday said any change to the country's fiscal target would raise concerns, following comments by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva casting doubt on the government's vow to erase a budget deficit. Campos Neto told the Reuters NEXT conference in New York that "there is a lot of uncertainty on whether Brazil is going to be able to actually have a sustainable fiscal path," adding that it pushes up risk premiums and affects monetary policy. "The only reason why the central bank worries about that is not because of the fiscal (target) itself, is because that it impacts variables that are important for our decision-making process," he said, mentioning potential effects on the foreign exchange and interest rate futures markets.
