SAO PAULO/RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian Finance Minister Joaquim Levy mildly criticized President Dilma Rousseff, saying she does not always act in "the most effective way," in remarks at a time when investors are watching for signs of tension between the two philosophically different leaders.

Levy made the comment on Tuesday at a closed-door event in Sao Paulo with former students from his alma mater, the University of Chicago, according to newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, which reported his remarks and posted audio.
