BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian opposition candidate Aecio Neves said on Monday that if elected president he would adopt policies aimed at bringing the inflation rate back to the centre of an official target range of 4.5 percent by the end of the four-year presidency.

President Dilma Rousseff's management of the economy has come under heavy criticism ahead of the election on Oct. 5, but while leading opinion polls show Neves narrowing the gap they still point toward a victory for the incumbent.
