SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil Finance Minister Fernando Haddad canceled a trip to Europe this week, the ministry said in a statement on Sunday, amid pressure from market participants for the government to present spending-cut measures that had been promised.
In the statement, the Finance ministry said Haddad will now remain in Brasilia during the week at the request of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
