Brasília, 12/11/2003 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - The president of the Central Bank, Henrique Meirelles, says that the country's economic indicators clearly show that in 2004 Brazil will begin a decade of sustainable growth. He said that next year will be a good year for Brazilians because the country has come out of a big crisis.

Meirelles said the debt was stabilized and would fall in the near future as the debt profile improved. (AB)
