April 12 (Reuters) - A controversial measure in Peru to allow savers to tap savings accounts is unlikely to have a large impact on inflation, a central bank official said on Friday.

Carlos Montoro, monetary policy manager at Peru's central bank, said in a presentation that the funds are more likely to go toward savings or paying off debts, rather than consumption. (Reporting by Juana Casas; Writing by Brendan O'Boyle; Editing by Chris Reese)
