Brazil's central bank has announced a $60bn plan to prop1 up the value of the national currency.

巴西央行宣布投入600亿美元提升本国货币的价值。
 
It comes as the Brazilian real nears a five-year low against the US dollar.
 
The real and other emerging market currencies have fallen steadily2 over the last three months on speculation3 of higher US interest rates.
 
The central bank said it would spend $500m a day on Mondays to Thursdays and $1bn on Fridays buying reais in the currency markets.
 
The Monday-to-Thursday interventions4 will target currency swap5 markets - financial derivatives6 used by companies and investors7 to hedge their currency exposure - while on Fridays, the central bank will buy the national currency directly in return for US dollars.
 
The interventions will run up until December.
 
"This shows the firm determination of monetary8 authorities to keep the exchange rate from slipping further," said Andre Perfeito, chief economist9 at Gradual Investments in Sao Paulo.
 
It is the first time the central bank has pre-announced daily interventions in this way since 2002 - a time when markets were speculating over a possible Brazilian debt default, following the financial collapse10 of neighbouring Argentina and with the imminent11 election of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
