RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian president-elect Jair Bolsonaro's top economic advisor and proposed economy minister, Paulo Guedes, said on Sunday that reforming the country's costly pension system would be a top priority for his government.

Guedes, speaking shortly after Bolsonaro's commanding win, said that Latin America's biggest economy would seek bilateral trade deals, criticizing the restrictions of South America's Mercosur trade bloc.
