Dilma Rousseff: Brazils economy is performing below what I d like, its below what Dilma would like, Lula said in a 3 1/2-hour interview with bloggers transmitted live on the Internet. We could be in a better situation. Dilma will have to say clearly in her campaign how we will improve the Brazilian economy, according to Business Week. Annual inflation is forecast to accelerate to 6.08 percent in March from 5.68 percent in February, according to the median estimate of 35 analysts polled by Bloomberg. Policy makers target consumer price increases of 2.5 percent to 6.5 percent and Brazils former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva urged his successor Dilma Rousseff to present clear plans to accelerate growth after she lost support in polls ahead of elections in October. Economic growth averaged 2 percent during Rousseffs first three years in office, the slowest pace for a president since Fernando Collor, who resigned in 1992 amid a corruption scandal. Her policies to revive growth fueled inflation, which has remained above target throughout her tenure and is accelerating.
