BRASILIA, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank chief Gabriel Galipolo said on Monday that demand in Latin America's largest economy is growing faster than supply across several components, underscoring the need to keep interest rates at restrictive levels.
Speaking at an event hosted by Santander Brasil, Galipolo said signs that the economy is being driven by strong demand can be seen in the country's current account deficit and in inflation for goods and services that cannot be imported from abroad.
