During a ceremony at the presidential palace of Planalto, held to launch a family-credit program for the purchase of electrical appliances and furniture, Rousseff said the main economic indicators reveal a favorable situation.

　　"It is very important for Brazil to have a vision of its future that concurs with the current real situation, and Brazil's real situation is that inflation and public accounts are under control, " Rousseff said.

　　"That means that when we look around, Brazil's relation to several components of macroeconomic indicators is very healthy," Rousseff added.

　　The president's statements followed recent press reports claiming the government is studying economic policy measures to avoid a greater depreciation of the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar, which is putting pressure on inflation.

　　In the past 12 months ending in May, the inflation rate registered 6.5 percent, the upper limit placed by government monetary policy, whose goal is 4.5 percent with a two percent margin.

　　At the same time, economic growth during the first quarter was a scant 0.6 percent, a figure below estimations.

　　Two weeks ago, Brazil's Central Bank raised the basic Selic interest rate from 7.5 to 8 percent annually to restrict demand and keep a cap on inflation, a measure that surprised analysts.

　　The primary surplus in public-sector accounts dropped 32 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, pointing to low economic activity.

　　But according to Rousseff, there's no chance the government lacks a policy to control and fight inflation.

　　"There isn't even the slightest supposition," she said. "All those who are betting on that are the same ones who at the beginning of this year bet there would be a serious problem with the supply of energy in this country, (a supposition) that vanished from all the newspapers because it wasn't real."

　　Rousseff said the economic movements are "localized and speculative movements that last for a while, but that can harm Brazil."
