Brazil's Lula seeks to reassure markets
Lula supporters celebrate in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro
Tens of thousands celebrated Lula's victory
In his first formal speech as Brazil's president-elect, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has sought to reassure the business markets that he will respect the country's financial commitments.
Lula celebrates victory
Lula announced the creation of a poverty secretariat
Speaking a day after his convincing victory in the presidential run-off, the left-wing politician best known as Lula pledged fiscal austerity and sustainable growth.
Lula - who received 61% of the vote - also addressed the country's poor, saying his priority was to combat hunger and unemployment.
When he is inaugurated on 1 January, Lula will officially become Brazil's first left-wing president in more than 40 years.
He is due to take over Latin America's largest economy, which is burdened by debt and suffering a deep economic crisis.
Credit plea
Brazil, he said on Monday, would "do its bit to confront the crisis" in the region.
The changes that we all hope for will come without surprises and without shocks
Lula
He insisted he would not default on Brazil's $260bn debt.
"Our government will respect contracts established by the [current] government, will not lose control of inflation and will maintain... a position of fiscal responsibility."
Lula called on the IMF and other international lenders to help Brazil through its crisis and to extend credit lines to Brazilian businesses.

Correspondents say the markets are now keenly waiting for Lula to announce the members of his transitional team on Tuesday.
It is believed the 55-strong team will include financial specialists from outside Lula's Workers Party (PT).
Three meals a day
"The changes that we all hope for will come without surprises and without shocks," he said.
The Brazilian people know that all that was not done in 10 years cannot be solved with a stroke of magic
Lula
In a country where 60% of the population live on or near the poverty line, correspondents say many people voted for Lula in the hope of a better life.
And the former trade union leader sought to reassure his supporters that he was committed to social reform.
Lula said his first priorities would be to combat hunger and create jobs, changing what he described as an unjust system which excludes large portions of society.
Announcing the creation of a poverty secretariat, the newly-elected president said he would have fulfilled his mission in life if, by the end of his term, each Brazilian would be able to have at least three proper meals a day.
He warned, however, that the country's economic and social problems would not be solved overnight.
Lula, a former factory worker from an poor background, became a trade unionist and strike leader and a symbol of opposition to the military dictatorship in the 1970s and early 1980s.
He founded the PT in 1980, but in recent years has moved to the political centre and dropped the anti-capitalist rhetoric which marked his three previous presidential bids.

Leftist Lula wins Brazil election

Lula told his supporters "the hard part begins now"
The left-wing candidate in Brazil's presidential election, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva - known as Lula - has won a convincing victory in Sunday's run-off.

Thousands gathered in the streets to celebrate Lula's victory
Thousands of his supporters celebrated in the streets of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with singing, dancing and fireworks.
Lula's government-backed opponent, Jose Serra, congratulated him in a telephone call and wished him well, one of Mr Serra's aides said.
In his victory speech, Lula invited the whole of Brazilian society - including business and trade union leaders - to join in building "a more just and brotherly nation".
He has repeated his undertaking that Brazil - suffering an economic crisis and burdened by debt - will abide by its obligations to the International Monetary Fund.
Almost all the votes have now been counted in the election, with Lula - whose birthday fell on election day - holding 61% of the vote to Mr Serra's 38%.

"So far, it has been easy," Lula told Brazilian national television.
"The hard part begins now. We will work around the clock to fulfil every one of our campaign promises."
The US Government has also offered its congratulations, with White House spokesman Ari Fleischer saying the US president "looked forward to working productively with Brazil".
Economic crisis
Lula's victory puts a left-wing government in power in Brazil for the first time in more than 40 years.
The BBC's Peter Greste, in Brazil, says that the strength of his support is a resounding endorsement of the former trade union leader's promises of economic prosperity fairly distributed to all Brazilians.
Lula on the campaign trail
Lula has reached out to all sectors of the Brazilian political life
Many Brazilians are now hoping that Lula, seen as a champion of the poor, will do more to help those on the impoverished end of the social scale.
"This is our opportunity to consolidate our hopes for a Brazil which should be more just, and needs to care more about the needs of the people," supporter Marcos Xavier told the Associated Press news agency.
Lula has promised to adhere to the outgoing government's spending plans and its commitments to the International Monetary Fund.
However, he has warned that the international community "must know that we cannot have people suffering from hunger every day".
Move to centre
Lula, a former factory worker from an impoverished background, became a trade unionist and strike leader and a symbol of opposition to the military dictatorship in the 1970s and early 1980s.
He founded the Workers Party (PT) in 1980, but in recent years has moved to the political centre and dropped the anti-capitalist rhetoric that marked his three previous presidential bids.
He also sought to reach out to the financial community, which initially reacted negatively to his candidacy.
His choice of industrialist Jose Alencar of the centre-right Liberal Party as a running mate sent a strong message to the Brazilian business community, which has gradually warmed to him.
