Brazil's finance chief said the government's eagerly awaited fiscal framework would include a new rule to monitor spending but without addressing public debt, in remarks on Friday ahead of unveiling the rules backed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

In an interview with CNN Brasil, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad stressed that investors need a long-term horizon to commit to projects in the country.

"The fiscal framework will offer this," he said, reiterating that the proposal would be unveiled later this month. The fiscal framework is a set of budget guidelines designed to balance government revenue and expenditures. Haddad said public debt needs to be monitored, but that a debt target is unworkable because it would cause constraints to what he described as the "harmonization" of government spending policies and borrowing costs set by the central bank.
