BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto said on Wednesday that the monetary authority is committed to pursuing its 3% inflation target, and that its policy discussions should "not even mention" the center and band of that goal.

Speaking at an event hosted by the central bank, he stressed that the authority "will not shy away from its commitment to achieving the inflation target and understands the fundamental role of expectations in inflation dynamics."
