STANFORD GROUP: Receiver Sues N.Y. Landlord for Ending Lease
------------------------------------------------------------
Ralph Janvey, the court-appointed receiver for companies
controlled by Texas financier R. Allen Stanford, sued a New York
landlord to assert "wrongful termination" of a lease for Stanford
Group Co.'s midtown Manhattan offices, Carla Main of Bloomberg
said.

The Bloomberg report said that the complaint filed March 6 in New
York State Supreme Court said that Stanford leased four floors
from the landlord, 330 Madison Co., beginning in February 2005.
330 Madison claimed March 3 that Stanford was in default and was
terminating the lease.  Mr. Janvey, however, asserts that the
lease has not expired and has important economic value to the
receivership estate.

CL FINANCIAL: Bahamas Has US$23 Mln Annuities Tied to Clico
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bahamian professionals, religious leaders, businesses, churches
and two government entities - Bahamasair and the Broadcasting
Corporation Of The Bahamas - collectively have US$23 million in
annuities tied up in CLICO Bahamas Limited, a unit of CL Financial
Limited, Nassau Guardian reports.

According to the report, employees of the Broadcasting Corporation
have nearly US$800 000 of pension money at stake in CLICO,
while employees of Bahamasair have tied up nearly US$3 million in
annuities.  Nearly 400 annuities are on CLICO’s books, The
Guardian notes.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Feb. 27, 2009, CaribWorldNews said the Bahamian Supreme Court
granted a request from the islands government to liquidate Clico
Bahamas for the protection of company shareholders.  Craig Gomez
of Baker Tilley Gomez was appointed as the liquidator of the
company, according to CaribWorldNews.

The Guardian relates people who invested in annuities in the
company are said to be deeply concerned about whether they will
get a return on their investments, or get back the money they put
in.

The Guardian recalls one week ago, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham
said it was too early to tell whether policyholders would lose any
money as a result of the winding up of CLICO, noting “discussions
that will be held between the liquidator and the local insurers
[prospective buyers] will include benefits for both policyholders
and annuity depositors.”

Mr. Ingraham however later pointed out that annuity holders “are
not likely to be as favourably rewarded at the end of the day as
some other policyholders”, The Guardian notes.

                       About CL Financial

According to Wikipedia, CL Financial Limited is the largest
privately held conglomerate in Trinidad and Tobago and one of the
largest privately held corporations in the entire Caribbean.
Founded as an insurance company, Colonial Life Insurance Company
(CLICO) by Cyril Duprey, it was expanded into a diversified
company by his nephew, Lawrence Duprey.  CL Financial is now one
of the largest local conglomerates in the region, encompassing
over 65 companies in 32 countries worldwide with total assets
standing at roughly US$100 billion.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Feb. 20, 2009, the Trinidad and Tobago Express said Central Bank
Governor Ewart Williams disclosed that an examination of insurance
company CLICO, dissolved finance house CLICO Investment Bank and
other CL Financial companies, showed a deficit between $6 billion
and $8 billion.

Tobago President George Maxwell Richards, The Express related,
signed bailout bills for CL Financial, giving the government the
authority to control the company's unit, Colonial Life Insurance
Company, and giving the central bank extensive powers to treat
with CL Financial's collapse and the consequent systemic crisis.

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday, the government used
$1 billion of taxpayers money to help protect depositors and
policyholders.

T&T Newsday related Governor Williams pleaded with policy holders
not to withdraw money from Clico, amid the unit's increasing
$10 billion debt.

* CAYMAN ISLANDS: Lawyers Say Toxic Asset Funds Increasing
----------------------------------------------------------
Distressed asset funds targeting US toxic bank assets are being
set up at a rapid clip using Cayman Islands legal structures,
Kevin Drawbaugh of Reuters reports.

"There are a lot of funds being established now to take on the
toxic assets," Charles Jennings, managing partner at the law firm
of Maples and Calder, told Reuters in an interview.

Prominent hedge fund, private equity and other distressed asset
investors are involved, said Henry Smith, also a partner at the
firm, which specializes in international and offshore law,
particularly Cayman Islands financial law, the report relates.

According to the report, the Obama administration is working on a
public-private partnership approach to valuing toxic assets and
moving as much as US$1 trillion of them off the balance sheets of
major financial institutions.  These assets, the report relates,
many backed by troubled subprime mortgage loans, are central to
the credit market crisis disrupting the global financial system
and dragging down the economy.

Reuters notes Mr. Smith said a Cayman-based fund for buying toxic
assets would use a typical structure, with a master fund in the
Cayman Islands, a Delaware-based feeder fund for US taxable
investors, and a Cayman feeder fund for non-US investors and tax-
exempt US investors.

Cayman Island, the report says, has been under pressure from
congressional investigators over tax issues.  Reuters recalls
legislation introduced in the Senate targets offshore financial
havens such as Switzerland and the Cayman Islands for shutdown.

Juan Antonio Alvarez replied in a statement obtained by the news
agency that the company has “no relevant news” to report beyond
what was made available in its last quarterly results.

“There’s a rumor that they need cash,” Bloomberg News quoted
Cristina Acle, director of equity research at CorpResearch SA,
said today by phone from Santiago, as saying.  “The problem with
Vapores is that they have very opaque finances.  You can’t see all
of Vapores debt in their financial sheets.  This adds risk to the
company.”

The report notes Valparaiso, Chile-based Vapores fell 2.3% to
317.9 pesos at 5 p.m. New York time, yesterday, in Santiago
trading.  It dropped 20% in the past six days, the report adds.

BANCOLOMBIA: Falls One-Week Low as BofA Cuts Shares to “Neutral”
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bancolombia S.A.'s preferred shares lost 1.1% to 11,300 pesos
on March 11 at 2:11 p.m. NY in Bogota trading, the lowest since
March 5, after Bank of America Corp. downgraded the company's
shares to “neutral” from “buy” on concern that the slumping
Colombian economy will lead to lower earnings, Andrea Jaramillo
of Bloomberg News reports.

The company's shares, the report relates, have fallen 12% this
year, while the American depositary receipts slid 1.4% to
US$17.89.

Colombia is being hurt by the global slowdown as exports to the
U.S. and neighboring Venezuela slow and inflows from foreign
direct investment and remittances drop, analysts Lucas Ramirez and
Jorg Friedemann wrote in a report obtained by the news agency.

“The less benign macro environment in 2009 is likely to put
pressure on earnings of the banking sector due to a further
deterioration in credit quality and continued pressure on bank
provision expenses,” Bloomberg News quoted the analysts as saying.

                    About Bancolombia S.A.

Bancolombia S.A. is Colombia's largest full-service financial
institution, formed by a merger of three leading Colombian
financial institutions.  Bancolombia's market capitalization is
over US$5.5 billion, with US$13.8 billion asset base and
US$1.4 billion in shareholders' equity as of Sept. 30, 2006.
Bancolombia is the only Colombian company with an ADR level III
program in the New York Stock Exchange.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 23, 2008, Moody's Investors Service upgraded Bancolombia SA's
Foreign currency deposits rating to Ba2, stable from Ba3
and Foreign currency subordinated debt rating to Baa3, stable from

* ECUADOR: Loan Default Hinders Bank Financing, Pres. Correa Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ecuador President Rafael Correa said his government’s default on
US$3.2 billion in foreign bonds has made it harder for local banks
to get financing, Stephan Kueffner of Bloomberg News reports,
citing El Telegrafo newspaper.

According to the report, the global financial crisis has also
played a part in limiting access to credit, Mr. Correa added in an
interview with the newspaper.

Bloomberg News relates the newspaper reported Mr. Correa said the
liquidity crisis is forcing the government and the banking system
to work together.

In December, Bloomberg News recalls, Mr. Correa halted payment on
foreign bonds he called “illegal” and “illegitimate.”

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
November 21, 2008, Bloomberg News said Ecuador may halt bond
payments after its debt audit commission uncovered "illegality and
illegitimacy" in the country's foreign obligations.  The
commission said the government's global bonds due in 2012 and 2030
"show serious signs of illegality," such as a lack of government
authorization for their issuance, the same report said.

CEMEX SAB: Shares Hit One Month High on Refinance Optimism
----------------------------------------------------------
Cemex S.A.B de C.V's shares rose the most in three months and call
options jumped on speculation its creditor banks will refinance
the company’s debt to avoid pushing it into default, Thomas Black
of Bloomberg News reports.

The report relates Cemex’s American depositary receipts surged 16%
to US$5.83, yesterday, March 12, in New York Stock Exchange
composite trading, the most since Dec. 16, while call-option
volume was three times greater than puts.  The most actively
traded March call contract, which bets shares will rise above
US$5, doubled to 80 cents, the report says.

“An agreement with the banks is the most likely outcome,” Patricio
Rivera, an analyst with the Mexico City-based brokerage Grupo
Financiero IXE, told Bloomberg News in an interview.  “If you let
the company default, the process of collecting could be longer and
it could add costs that could be avoided with a fair refinancing
transaction.”

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 11, 2009, Bloomberg News said Cemex started discussions with
banks to renegotiate about US$14.5 billion of debt after
postponing its bond sale.  Company spokesman Jorge Perez, the
report related, said the US$14.5 billion is all of Cemex’s bank
debt and doesn’t include any bonds.  At the end of December, Cemex
had total debt of US$18.8 billion, the same report noted.

Bloomberg News recalled that Cemex delayed a US$500 million bond
sale after its borrowing costs surged amid a tumble in global
financial markets, with plans to revive the offering as early as
next week.  The cost of protecting Cemex’s debt against default
jumped on March 6, to the highest since at least November 2005,
according to Bloomberg data.

Reuters recalled Cemex has been slammed by debt problems after its
ambitious Rinker takeover in 2007, slumping sales, and losses on
derivatives amid turmoil caused by the global credit debacle.

                           About Cemex

Cemex S.A.B de C.V is the third-largest cement producer in the
world based on production capacity of approximately 97 million
metric tons and operates in more than 50 countries.  The company
is also the global leader in the ready mix concrete market with
sales of over 80.5 million cubic meters, and an important global
player in the aggregates business with sales of 222.7 million
tons.  In 2008, Cemex generated US$4.370 billion of EBITDA on
US$21.8 billion of sales revenues.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 2, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its
'BB+' long-term corporate credit ratings on Cemex S.A.B de C.V.
and its key operating subsidiaries (Cemex Espana S.A., Cemex
Mexico S.A. de C.V., and Cemex Inc.) remain on CreditWatch, where
they were placed with negative implications on Jan. 21, 2009.  At
the same time, S&P assigned a 'BB+' rating to Cemex's
intermediate-maturity notes in the amount of about US$500 million.
The recovery rating is '3', indicating that lenders can expect
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.

WINAIR: To End Flights to St Kitts by End of March
--------------------------------------------------
Windward Islands Airways (Winair), after 30 years of flights, will
stop scheduled flights to St Kitts by the end of March due to
increased competition, fluctuating fuel prices, and the increase
in other operational costs, Caribbean360.com reports, citing St
Kitts' Minister of State for Information, Senator Nigel Carty.

"WINAIR alluded to a decreasing trend in passenger volume from St.
Kitts, and has deemed the recent losses unsustainable, and has
made a decision to discontinue its services to and from St Kitts
by March 29, 2009,” the report quoted Mr. Carty as saying.

Mr. Carty, the report relates, said the government requested a
full analysis from WINAIR with a view to exploring how it could
assist in keeping the services of the airline in St Kitts, but he
said "there was no scenario presented by WINAIR that made an
economically-acceptable case for the government to pursue".

According to the report, Antigua-based carrier, LIAT, will now be
the only scheduled carrier between St Kitts' Robert L Bradshaw
International Airport and the Dutch/French Caribbean island
following Winair's move.

Caribbean360.com recalls WINAIR will also cutt services to
Dominica and Tortola from its schedule and reducing its service to
Antigua to a weekly flight.

CL FINANCIAL: Gov't to Borrow More to Rescue Company
----------------------------------------------------
CL Financial Limited's financial crisis will force Trinidad and
Tobago's to borrow more this year to sustain its rescue of the
cash-strapped conglomerate, Curtis Rampersad of Trinidad and
Tobago Express reports.

According to the report, Central Bank Governor Ewart Williams said
the plunging crude oil prices had already forced the State to curb
its expenditure and could lead to increased borrowing this year.
"The CL Financial crisis will add to that borrowing," the report
quoted Mr. Williams as saying.

The Express relates as the Government and the Central Bank
continue work to evaluate certain CL Financial assets to
ultimately divest them, Mr. Williams said the money earned from
the sale of these assets would come back to the country, and this
would ensure that the "burden on the taxpayer will be as small as
possible".

According to Wikipedia, CL Financial Limited is the largest
privately held conglomerate in Trinidad and Tobago and one of the
largest privately held corporations in the entire Caribbean.
Founded as an insurance company, Colonial Life Insurance Company
(CLICO) by Cyril Duprey, it was expanded into a diversified
company by his nephew, Lawrence Duprey.  CL Financial is now one
of the largest local conglomerates in the region, encompassing
over 65 companies in 32 countries worldwide with total assets
standing at roughly US$100 billion.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Feb. 20, 2009, the Trinidad and Tobago Express said Central Bank
Governor Ewart Williams disclosed that an examination of insurance
company CLICO, dissolved finance house CLICO Investment Bank and
other CL Financial companies, showed a deficit between $6 billion
and $8 billion.

Tobago President George Maxwell Richards, The Express related,
signed bailout bills for CL Financial, giving the government the
authority to control the company's unit, Colonial Life Insurance
Company, and giving the central bank extensive powers to treat
with CL Financial's collapse and the consequent systemic crisis.

According to the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday, the government used
$1 billion of taxpayers money to help protect depositors and
policyholders.

T&T Newsday related Governor Williams pleaded with policy holders
not to withdraw money from Clico, amid the unit's increasing
$10 billion debt.


CL FIN'L: Finance Minister Closed CLICO Accounts Before Melt Down
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Trinidad and Tobago Finance Minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira closed
two U.S. dollar accounts with CLICO Investment Bank on Dec. 31,
2008, before the company's meltdown this year, CaribWorldNews
reports.

CaribWorldNews says documents obtained by the Trinidad Express
showed that Ms. Nunez-Tesheira paid a 'break rate' of 3.5% for
closing two accounts at CIB worth a total of US$48,549.91, before
they were due to mature on April 30, 2009 and August 13, 2009
respectively.

Ms. Nunez-Tesheira, the report recalls, claimed in a
Parliamentary statement on February 2 that she made the
withdrawals because the accounts had matured by December 31, 2008.

CaribWorldNews relates Ms. Nunez-Tesheira, in a comment to the
Express, said she did not realize and was not informed by anyone
at CIB that she was breaking the accounts.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 10, 2009, Caribbean Net News said CL Financial's official
filing with the Registrar's office reveals that Ms. Nunez-
Tesheira, who presides over the billion-dollar bailout of CL
Financial Group, owned 10,410 ordinary shares in the group.

The revelations, the report related, raise questions whether Ms.
Nunez-Tesheira has a serious conflict of interest, why she had not
disclosed her ownership of CL Financial shares before and why the
shares are held in her name and not in a blind trust.

PDVSA: To Continue Paying Debts After Revision of Tariffs
---------------------------------------------------------
Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), which paid 10% of its
existing debt, said it will pay the remaining debt after a
revision of tariffs by suppliers, El Universal News reports.

On March 4, 2009, the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America,
citing Bloomberg News, reported the company said it will begin
paying as many as 6,000 contractors and domestic vendors in a
“massive” process to bring up-to-date their payments.  The
company, the report related, will immediately recognize
back-pay with at least 90% of contractors and service providers.

According to El Universal, it repaid total debt to most of the
contractors, but it paid part of it to a group of service
companies because their contracts are being examined by the
industry.

The report notes according to the payment schedule for debt
implemented by PDVSA, the big contractors received 10% of the
outstanding debt and the rest will be paid as long as the service
companies cut their tariffs.

PDVSA, El Universal says, has asked contractors, including oil
drill companies, to cut tariffs by 50% in average, due to the new
realities of the market, in an environment characterized by low
crude oil prices.

                          About PDVSA

Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. -- http://www.pdvsa.com/-- is
Venezuela's state oil company in charge of the development of the
petroleum, petrochemical, and coal industry, as well as planning,

activities of its divisions, both in Venezuela and abroad.

                          *     *     *

Petroleos de Venezuela continues to carry a 'BB-' long-term
corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor's with stable
outlook.  The rating was affirmed by S&P in April 2008.
