Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Thursday the local economy had a "good quarter" and was on track to expand between 1.8% and 2% in 2023.

Reuters had reported earlier in the day, citing sources, that the government would next week raise its official projection for economic growth this year to 1.9% from a previous estimate of 1.6%.
