Brasilia, November 14, 2002 (Agencia Brasil ABr) - The Central Bank reports that it did not rollover the remaining 41.5% of a debt totalling US$1.9 billion in exchange rate-linked bonds which fall due today because the rates demanded by the market yesterday were too high. That means the bonds will be redeemed today. (AB)
