Doni,

Raising the interests now will no doubt have detrimental effecs on the economy. The only thing will such a move do will be the strengthening of the dollar and the reduction of exports and investments. A double negative for the real as opposed to monetary economy. I am a professional economist and take my word. Interests will come up in a little while when and if the prices will show some movement upwards. but this will take some time before it happens. As you can see i don't talk in slogans but make concrete points.
