Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that more changes are underway after naming a former general to replace the University of Chicago-educated economist running state-controlled Petroleo Brasileiro SA.

The leadership change at Petrobras followed a feud with Bolsonaro over fuel prices after Petrobras adjusted them to align with international rates. His comments on Saturday may add to concerns about a wider shift away from market-friendly policy goals by the administration.
