Brazil's President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is expected to announce his economic team in the coming days, a close aide said on Monday, as speculation grows on who will be the country's next finance minister.
Congressman Reginaldo Lopes, the leader of the Workers Party in the Lower House, told reporters that Lula, who is in Brasilia this week to discuss cabinet appointments, would soon make an announcement needed to advance talks with Congress on approval of a bill allowing a spending cap waiver.
