CL FINANCIAL: CLICO Belize Negotiates Transfer of Policies
----------------------------------------------------------
Supervisor of Insurance Alma Gomez told Amandala News in an
interview that negotiations are currently underway with insurance
companies in Belize, to see what could be done to preserve the
over 10,800 health and life insurance policies held by Colonial
Life Insurance Company (CLICO) Belize.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 30, 2009, Caribbean Net News said accountant Mark Hulse has
been appointed judicial manager to take charge of CLICO Belize.
The local branch of CLICO, a unit of CL Financial Limited, has
approximately 11,000 policies currently in force in Belize, the
report said.  The report related Ms. Gomez said the legislation in
Belize allows for government intervention and judicial management
before liquidation.  Ms. Gomez, as cited in the report, said that
since CLICO has been placed into liquidation by the Bahamas court,
"we have to follow the instruction that is coming down from the
Bahamas because that's where the company is headquartered.”
Caribbean Net News noted efforts are now being made to sell CLICO,
but this will not affect the policyholders, since the terms and
conditions would remain the same.

Ms. Gomez, as cited by Amadala, said most of the staff at CLICO
Belize have been let go, and some agents are now trying to get
jobs with other insurance companies.

According to Amadala News, Mr. Hulse is expected to file a report
on the status of CLICO with the Supreme Court on May 8 and on May
18, the Supervisor of Insurance is due to return to the courtroom
for the court to decide the next course of action for CLICO’s
Belize branch.  The court will also determine Mr. Hulse’s
remuneration for his work as (provisional) judicial manager, the
report relates.

Ms. Gomez, the report notes, said it would take anywhere from two
to three months for technical work to be done, to effect the
transfer of insurance portfolios to another insurance company in
Belize.  The report says Ms. Gomez projects that the transfer of
policies could take until July, as foreign actuaries would first
have to assess the policies.

EMBRAER: No Delivery Cancellations in April, CEO Says
-----------------------------------------------------
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA ("Embraer") received no
further cancellations or requests for postponement of deliveries
in April and maintains its 2009 delivery forecast of 242 planes,
Alastair Stewart of Dow Jones Newswires reports, citing Chief
Financial Officer Luiz Carlos Aguiar.  The report recalls there
was a spate of commercial jet order cancellations in January,
reflecting the darkening global economic outlook, but since then
few clients have sought readjustments to contracts.

DJ Newswires notes that in February, Embraer lowered its 2009
deliveries estimate from 270 jets and announced that it would cut
20% of its work force because of an expected sharp drop-off in
demand during 2009 and 2010.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 1, 2009, Embraer recorded first quarter 2009 net sales of
US$1,154.1 million and a net loss of US$23.4 million, equivalent
to diluted losses per ADS of US$0.1289.  Due to the severe
worldwide economic downturn since September 2008, Embraer recorded
cancellations of some of the firm orders of its executive aviation
backlog as well as deferrals of deliveries scheduled for the
commercial aviation segment.  As a result, the company’s firm
order backlog on March 31, 2009, decreased by 5.7% compared to the
previous quarter, totaling US$ 19.7 billion.  The backlog of the
EMBRAER 170/190 family accumulated a total of 875 firm orders and
792 options, with 354 aircraft to be delivered.

In light of this new scenario, Embraer revised its revenue
guidance for 2009 to US$5.5 billion, broken down as US$3.3 billion
in revenues for the commercial aviation segment, US$0.8 billion
for the executive aviation segment, US$0.6 billion to the defense
and government segment and US$0.8 billion for services and other
revenues.  The company has also reduced its delivery guidance for
2009 down from 270 to 242 commercial and executive aircraft
deliveries, with 115 deliveries to the commercial aviation
segment, 17 Legacy 600 and Lineage 1000 jets to the executive
aviation segment plus 110 Phenom jets to the same segment.
Embraer’s total investment guidance for 2009 was also revised to
US$350 million.

EMBRAER: Hainan Airlines Cuts Jet Order by 50 Percent
-----------------------------------------------------
Chinese carrier Hainan Airlines Co. cut its ERJ 145 jet order from
Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA (Embraer) by 50% to 25
aircraft, Laura Price of Bloomberg News reports.  The report
recalls Hainan Airlines originally signed a contract for 50 ERJ
145 jets and 50 Embraer 190 jets in August 2006.

Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry, which is Embraer’s joint
venture, had delivered 12 jets to Hainan as of April 30, Embraer
said in an e-mailed statement to Bloomberg News.  The report
relates Embraer agreed to deliver the jets by the first half of

* EL SALVADOR: Government to Face US$500 Million Budgetary Deficit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Economist and presidential advisor Alexander Segovia said El
Salvador's new government will face a budgetary deficit close to
US$500 million, Prensa-latina News reports.  The report relates
Mr. Segovia, in a television interview, said the estimate is
derived from fiscal information made available during the current
governmental transfer process.

The report relates international financial organizations made
similar appraisals, calculating that the outgoing administration
of Antonio Saca will leave Mauricio Funes a deficit of US$470
million.  The Salvadoran press, Prensa-latina News notes, reported
that Mr. Saca admits the lack of resources but considers the
problem is not the deficit, but the reduction of tax revenue and
family remittances.

Analysts cited by Prensa-latina News said Mr. Funes will either
obtain foreign credit or adjust expenses to perhaps be able to
begin 2010 with less unfavorable conditions.

CAP CANA: Reaching 95% Participation in an Exchange Offer
---------------------------------------------------------
Cap Cana S.A. is reaching 95% participation in an exchange offer
for US$250 million in 9.625% senior secured notes due 2013 that
closed April 30, LatinFrance News reports.  The report relates a
person close to the deal pegged the total at 95.18% shortly before
it was wrapped up, versus roughly 70% April 28.

According to the report, holders were required to consent to
amendments eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants,
certain events of default, covenants regarding mergers and
consolidations, among other modifications.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 1, 2009, LatinFrance said Cap Cana secured bondholders'
approval to exchange US$250 million in outstanding 2013 bonds for
two new classes of notes with longer maturities and less onerous
short term debt service requirements.  The report related the
resort is offering holders of the 9.625% 2013s two new replacement
securities that mature in 2016:

   -- US$137.0 million 10.000% senior secured note; and

   -- US$133.8 million 10.000% self liquidating recovery note that
      behaves like a PIK note.

LatinFrance said the total principal amount of the new bonds
includes past due interest payments and what one investor is
calling an exchange premium.

Cap Cana S.A. is owner and developer of a resort complex (Cap
Cana) on the Dominican easter tip.  The resort copmplex is being

ALPART: Norsk Hydro Incurs US$42Mln Net Loss in First Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
Norway-based Norsk Hydro, which owns 35% of Alumina Partners of
Jamaica (Alpart), incurred a US$42 million net loss in the first
quarter of 2009, due to the dramatic fall in the price of
aluminium on the world market, Radio Jamaica News reports.  The
report relates Norsk Hydro's revenue dropped 22%.

According to the report, Norsk Hydro cited the deepening global
economic downturn, with historically-low aluminum prices, which
started the quarter at US$1,536 per metric ton and closed at
US$1,405.  The report recalls Norsk Hydro cut back production
throughout the quarter.

Radio Jamaica News says this coincided with ALPART's disclosure on
its planned temporary operation shutdown in the wake of the
decline in the demand for alumina.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Mar. 20, 2009, Radio Jamaica News said Alpart will suspend its
operations for one year by May 15, sending home 900 permanent
employees in the process; amid a 60% decline in alumina product
prices since July 2008.  Alpart Managing Director Alberto Fabrini,
as cited by Radio Jamaica News, said the upcoming temporary
shutdown will allow the plant to prepare for future developments.
Although the company took steps to maintain the operations even at
reduced capacity, circumstances still left the company with no
other choice but to shutdown, he added.  Mr. Fabrini, Radio
Jamaica noted, said the company will continue to meet its
obligations to employees and the surrounding communities in a
timely manner.

                       About Alpart

Alumina Partners of Jamaica, also known as Alpart, is a company
that owns and operates a bauxite refinery in Nain, Jamaica.
Alpart was founded in 1969 as a joint venture by Kaiser Aluminum,

tonnes of alumina overseas per year, and earned gross revenues of
US$1.3 billion in 2007.  As of 2008, Alpart is 65% owned by RusAl
and 35% owned by Norsk Hydro.

CREDITO Y CASA: Moody's Reviews 'Ba1' Rating on Certificates
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico has placed on review for possible downgrade the
Ba1 (Global Scale, Local Currency) and A1.mx (Mexican National
Scale) ratings of Class A certificates CREYCB 06U.  Moody's also
placed on review for possible downgrade the Caa1 (Global Scale,
Local Currency) and Caa1.mx (Mexican National Scale) ratings of
Class B certificates CREYCB 06-2U of Hipotecaria Credito y Casa,
S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado.

The rating action reflects heightened concerns about Credito y
Casa's stability as a servicer following Moody's recent downgrades
of the company's ratings.  On April 29, 2009, Moody's downgraded
Credito y Casa's global scale local currency issuer rating to Ca
from B1 and its national scale issuer rating to Ca.mx from
Baa2.mx; the issuer ratings are on review for possible downgrade.
The downgrades followed Credito y Casa's announcement on April 29,
2009, that due to the credit crisis and the contraction of the
commercial paper and securitization debt markets, the company
would not be able pay US$327 million Mexican pesos in commercial
paper debt maturities due as of that date.  This constitutes a
payment default.  Including these maturities, the company has $1.6
billion Mexican pesos in commercial paper due in 2009.

Moody's is concerned that the current circumstances related to
Credito y Casa's financial stability could negatively affect the
company's ability to properly perform its duties as primary
servicer of the securitized mortgage loans.  Furthermore, any
negative impact on the servicing function may in turn adversely
affect the performance of the loans serviced by the company.
Moody's notes that Credito y Casa's mortgage loans have
experienced a sharp deterioration in performance over the past 9
months, due in part to certain difficulties with the company's
management of its servicing platform.

Moody's ongoing review of these transactions will focus on Credito
y Casa's stability and ability as servicer of the securitized
portfolio, on its capability to continue transferring collections
to trust accounts on a timely manner, and on an evaluation of the
likelihood of a servicer transfer event and a thorough review of
the expected procedures associated with such a transfer.
Additionally, Moody's will continue monitoring the performance of
the securitized transactions.

A loan servicer's capabilities can have a significant effect –
either positive or negative - on realized loss levels in
residential mortgage loan securitizations.  Moody's assesses a
servicer's ability to affect residential mortgage losses and into
the future.  A servicer's financial stability could negatively
affect its ability to properly perform its duties as primary
servicer of securitized mortgage loans.  Furthermore, any negative
impact on the servicing function may in turn adversely affect the
performance of the loans serviced by the company.

Moody's last rating action on the certificates was on April 1,
2009 when the Class A certificates (CREYCB 06U) were downgraded to
Ba1 from Baa1 (Global Scale, Local Currency) and to A1.mx from
Aaa.mx (National Scale Rating), and the Class B certificates
(CREYCB 06-2U) were downgraded to Caa1 from Ba2 (Global Scale,
Local Currency) and to Caa1.mx from A1.mx (National Scale Rating).

                         Rating Action

The complete rating action is:

Issuer: Banco Invex, S.A., acting only in its capacity as trustee.

-- Class A certificates CREYCB 06U ratings of Ba1 (Global Scale,
    Local Currency) and A1.mx (Mexican National Scale) placed on
    review for possible downgrade.  The last rating action was on
    April 1, 2009 when the ratings were downgraded to Ba1 from
    Baa1 (Global Scale, Local Currency) and to A1.mx from Aaa.mx
     (National Scale Rating).

-- Class B certificates CREYCB 06-2U ratings of Caa1 (Global
    Scale, Local Currency) and Caa1.mx (Mexican National Scale)
    placed on review for possible downgrade.  The last rating
    action was on April 1, 2009 when the ratings were downgraded
    to Caa1 from Ba2 (Global Scale, Local Currency) and to
    Caa1.mx from A1.mx (National Scale Rating).


CREYCB 08: Moody's Reviews Global Scale Ratings on Certificates
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico has placed on review for downgrade the Baa1
(Global Scale, Local Currency) and Aaa.mx (National Scale) ratings
of the CREYCB 08 Certificates.  The certificates are secured
primarily by the securitization trust's credit rights in
construction loans originated by Hipotecaria Credito y Casa, S.A.
de C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado and granted to
developers for the financing of construction of residential
housing in Mexico and any cash or permitted investments held as
part of the trust.  The last rating actions on the affected
certificates occurred on June 9, 2008 when the Baa1 and Aaa.mx
ratings were initially assigned.

The rating action reflects heightened concerns about Credito y
Casa's stability as a servicer following Moody's recent downgrades
of the company's ratings.  On April 29, 2009, Moody's downgraded
Credito y Casa's global scale local currency issuer rating to Ca
from B1 and its national scale issuer rating to Ca.mx from
Baa2.mx; the issuer ratings are on review for possible downgrade.
The downgrades followed Credito y Casa's announcement on April 29,
2009, that due to the credit crisis and the contraction of the
commercial paper and securitization debt markets, the company
would not be able pay $327 million Mexican pesos in commercial
paper debt maturities due as of that date.  This constitutes a
payment default.  Including these maturities, the company has $1.6
billion Mexican pesos in commercial paper due in 2009.

Moody's is concerned that the current circumstances related to
Credito y Casa's financial stability could negatively affect the
company's ability to properly perform its duties as primary
servicer of the securitized construction loans.  Further, the
impact could be more pronounced given the revolving nature of the
transaction, the intensive servicing efforts associated with
construction loans, and the servicer's crucial role in actively
monitoring and influencing both the timeliness of the
transaction's cashflows and the loan level progress of
construction and sales relative to the targeted timelines
established at origination.

Moody's notes that the underlying loan portfolio has exhibited
relatively strong performance since the closing date.  The
defaulted pool balance or "cartera vencida" remained at 0% as of
March 2009 and there were no loans with extensions to the original
maturity date since all loans had less than 18 months of
seasoning.  The monthly interest and principal collections have
also displayed healthy levels in recent months.  However, such
positive trends are to be expected for transactions with low
seasoning.  It is also worth noting that the outstanding pool
balance represents just under 60% of the issuance proceeds, with
the remainder invested in cash or permissible investments.

Moody's ongoing review will focus on a) the adequacy of the
transaction governance provisions in the context of a servicer
with a global scale local currency rating of Ca, b) whether the
construction loan portfolio is expected to continue revolving, c)
an evaluation of the likelihood of a servicer transfer event and a
thorough review of the expected procedures associated with such a
transfer, and d) the ongoing performance of the underlying
construction loans.

                          Rating Action

The complete rating action is:

Originator and Servicer: Hipotecaria Credito y Casa, S.A. de C.V.,
Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado

Issuer: Banco Invex, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Invex
Grupo Financiero, solely in its capacity as trustee of these
securitization trusts:

  -- CREYCB 08, Baa1 (Global Scale, Local Currency) and Aaa.mx
     (National Scale) ratings placed on review for possible
     downgrade.

                        Rating Methodology

Moody's approach to rating securitizations of construction loans
in Mexico considers i) the loan origination and underwriting
process, ii) the degree of asset diversification, iii) the loan
eligibility criteria, iv) supply and demand risk in the Mexican
housing sector, v) take-out risk, and vi) structural features and
protections, including credit enhancement and early amortization
events.


GMAC FINANCIERA: Moody's Reviews Ratings on Three Certificates
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico has placed on review for possible downgrade the
global scale and national scale ratings of three certificates from
three mortgage-backed securitizations issued under the MXMACFW and
MXMACCB programs established in Mexico by GMAC Financiera S.A. de
C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado.  GMAC acquired and
aggregated the underlying collateral for securitization.  The
pools consist of first-lien, fixed-rate loans denominated in UDIS
and granted primarily to low-income and middle-income borrowers.

The affected certificates and rating actions are:

  -- MXMACCB 06U (Class A certificates), Baa3 (Global Scale, Local
     Currency) and Aa3.mx (National Scale) ratings placed on
     review for possible downgrade.

  -- MXMACFW 07U (Class A certificates), Ba3 (Global Scale, Local
     Currency) and A3.mx (National Scale) ratings placed on review
     for possible downgrade.

  -- MXMACFW07-3U (Class A certificates), Ba3 (Global Scale, Local
     Currency) and A3.mx (National Scale) ratings placed on review
     for possible downgrade.

The affected transactions include a certain percentage of loans
originated and serviced by Hipotecaria Credito y Casa, S.A. de
C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado.  As of March 2009,
those percentages were: MXMACCB 06U (96%), MXMACFW 07U (12%), and
MXMACFW07-3U (19%).

The rating actions reflect heightened concerns about Credito y
Casa's stability as a servicer following Moody's recent downgrades
of the company's issuer ratings.  On April 29, 2009, Moody's
downgraded Credito y Casa's global scale local currency issuer
rating to Ca from B1 and its national scale issuer rating to Ca.mx
from Baa2.mx; the issuer ratings are on review for possible
downgrade.  The downgrades followed Credito y Casa's announcement
on April 29, 2009, that due to the credit crisis and the

* MEXICO: Gets US$3BB IDB Fund to Counter Crisis & Swine Flu
------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank will approve US$3 billion in
loans to Mexico this year, bolstering the government’s efforts to
counter the effects of the global economic crisis and swine flu
emergency.

“Mexico is confronting these challenges in an effective, timely
and transparent way,” said IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno.  “In
support of those efforts, we will expand the resources for a
series of programs in our pipeline and we will speed up
disbursements.”

The operations for 2009 will nearly treble the sum of loans
approved for Mexico last year, which totaled nearly US$1.1
billion.

The swine flu emergency could worsen Mexico’s contraction, adding
to the economic slowdown caused by decreases in remittances and
exports.  In light of this, the IDB will support programs designed
to defend the progress Mexico made against poverty in recent
years.

“We are in constant consultations with Mexican authorities and in
coordination with other international and regional agencies to
identify priorities,” said Gina Montiel, manager of the IDB
Country Department for Central America, México, Panama and the
Dominican Republic.  “The goal is to channel additional resources
to mitigate the effects of the emergency and its impact on
economic activity and on employment in dynamic sectors such as
tourism.”

Among the actions by the IDB:

   -- Approve US$3 billion in loans to Mexico for programs
      that mitigate the effects of the swine flu emergency
      and the global economic crisis on the income of the
      poor.

   -- Grant US$1 million to support efforts to detect new
      cases, strengthen epidemiological surveillance
      systems and carry out information and operational
      campaigns in Mexico.

   -- Launch a US$5 million regional initiative with the
      Pan American Health Organization to help Central
      American countries strengthen their early alert
      and diagnostic mechanisms to prevent the spread of
      the swine flu and other infectious diseases in
      the isthmus.


* MEXICO: Minister Sees Tourism Revenue to Fall 43% on Swine Flu
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mexico’s tourism revenue may fall 43% to US$7.58 billion this year
as “almost zero” international tourists visit the country after
the swine flu outbreak, Andres R. Martinez of Bloomberg News
reports, citing Tourism Minister Rodolfo Elizondo in an interview
on Radio Formula.

According to the report, Mr. Elizondo said tourism in Mexico
accounted for US$13.3 billion last year.

CL FINANCIAL: Gov't Seeks Greater Control of CL Group
-----------------------------------------------------
Trinidad and Tobago government is seeking to increase its
management control of CL Financial Group, Camini Marajh of
Trinidad and Tobago Express reports.

The report relates sources said CL Financial executive chairman
Lawrence Duprey, Finance Minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira and top
Central Bank officials, including Governor Ewart Williams, will
meet in a second round of talks, to hammer out a private agreement
that would give the government more control of the conglomerate's
operations.

According to the report, sources said if the state will gain more
control, Mr. Duprey may be forced to give up his chairmanship in
Angostura Holdings, Home Construction Ltd boards and the executive
chair of CL Financial Group.  The sources, the report relates,
said the government's move was was fuelled by the growing size of
the statutory fund deficit in Colonial Life Insurance Company
(CLICO), a unit of Cl Financial Limited.  The report says sources
said the Manning administration is reluctant to put more
taxpayers' money into the conglomerate without a tighter rein on
its executive chairman.

The Express notes the Central Bank has no Section 44 to parachute
itself into the executive boardroom of CL Financial but must rely,
instead, on some hard bargaining to get the leverage it wants.

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.


                     About CL Financial

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

standing at roughly US$100 billion.

PDVSA: Helmerich & Payne May Not Be Paid US$116 Million
-------------------------------------------------------
Helmerich & Payne Inc. said it may not be able to collect US$116
million owed by Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), Steven Bodzin
of Bloomberg News reports.  “It’s been a difficult period and
frustrating,” the report quoted Chief Executive Officer Hans
Helmerich as saying on an earnings conference call with analysts.
“At the same time we would anticipate we work through it and have
a chance to get back to work.”

Meanwhile, Douglas Fears, Helmerich & Payne’s chief financial
officer, as cited by Bloomberg News, said PDVSA hasn’t given the
company any indication of plans to withhold payment.

In a press release, Helmerich & Payne said it has determined that,
as of the beginning of the second fiscal quarter of 2009,
collectability of revenue is not reasonably assured in Venezuela,
primarily due to the uncertainty in the timing of collectability.
As a result, revenue will be recorded as cash is collected.
Helmerich & Payne said it continues efforts to collect accounts
receivable and unrecorded revenue.

According to the press release, since Helmerich & Payne's last
quarterly earnings release on January 29, 2009, the company has
collected approximately US$8 million from PDVSA.  As of April 30,
the total invoiced amount by Helmerich & Payne that remains
pending payment from PDVSA is approximately US$116 million
(including US$66 million in accounts receivable, an estimated
US$43 million in unrecorded revenue and about US$7 million in
other non-revenue billings).

The press release notes seven H&P rigs that formerly worked for
PDVSA and that have completed their contract obligations are
currently either stacked or in the process of rigging down.  The
remaining four rigs continue to work for PDVSA, all of which are
now expected to complete their contract obligations within the
next four months.

         PDVSA Won't Pay Overdue Bills, Minister Says

Citing Chron.com News, the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America
on April 21, 2009, reported that PDVSA said its vendors
overcharged the company last year, and it won’t pay overdue bills.
“There are many payments we don’t recognize,” Venezuelan Energy
and Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez was quoted by the report as
saying.  “They were overbilled.  To pay them would be illegal.”

Dow Jones Newswires said PDVSA is offering oil service companies
possible joint venture deals as a way of capitalizing billions of
dollars in unpaid service bills.

According to DJ Newswires, the Venezuela Oil Chamber said its
members met with PDVSA officials to discuss these joint ventures
between the company and its contractors, which in some cases are
already being signed.  "In some cases, in which PDVSA owes
important amounts, new accords are being worked on to capitalize
these debts by creating mixed companies [or joint ventures], an
option that several chamber members can pursue," the trade group
was quoted by the same report as saying.

PDVSA, DJ Newswires related, has overdue services payments to many
oil service companies and drill firms as it faces a cash crunch
on low oil prices.

In March PDVSA paid a fraction of its debt to a group of 56 oil-
service companies and rig operators, Dow Jones said in an earlier
report.  However, many claim to have received even less despite
PDVSA paying as much as much as 7% of total outstanding
receivables to some of the companies, the same report
said citing unnamed industry executives.

                          About PDVSA

Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. -- http://www.pdvsa.com/-- is

* LATAM: Development Banks Join Efforts to Provide US$90 Billion
----------------------------------------------------------------
Leading multilateral development banks will increase their support
to Latin America and the Caribbean by providing as much as
US$90 billion during the next two years in a joint effort to spur
economic growth in the region by coordinating their crisis
response initiatives, the Inter-American Development Bank said in
a statement.

The IADB and the Inter-American Investment Corporation (IDB/IIC),
the World Bank Group (IBRD, IFC and MIGA), Corporacion Andina de
Fomento (CAF), the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the
Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) are working
together to identify partnerships to increase their collective
impact and explore new opportunities to protect the economic and
social gains achieved in the region during the last five years.

The IDB/IIC is expected to provide US$29.5 billion of the total
while the World Bank Group plans to provide US$35.6 billion over
the next two years.  In addition, CAF plans to provide US$20
billion while CABEI and CDB are expected to provide US$4.2 billion
and US$500 million respectively.

“Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved substantial
economic and social progress over the last five years and we must
ensure that this is not lost because of the external shock of the
global crisis.  We need to avoid a social and human crisis,” said
World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick.  “I welcome the
close cooperation among the multilateral regional banks and the
World Bank Group, and I am committed to making this common
platform work as we help lay the foundations for an economic
recovery.”

Support from the IDB may increase further as the Bank is currently
working on measures that may boost lending in the short run.  The
IDB has also started a process to review its capital to ensure
adequate capacity to finance long-term development needs, under a
resolution approved by its Governors in the Annual meeting at the
end of March in Medellin.

"The IDB is working with its multilateral partners to make a
collective response and is committing a significant portion of its
existing lending capacity to combat the crisis,” said IDB
President Luis Alberto Moreno.  "In order to continue to support
the region in its ongoing financing needs, the IDB will be seeking
additional capital resources.”

Unlike past crises, the effects of the current economic crisis are
being transmitted in the region primarily through the real
economy.  This crisis has halted more than five years of sustained
economic growth —averaging 5.3% a year— fueled in part by the
adoption of responsible economic policies and a boom in commodity
prices.

“In moments such as the current one, it is evident that
multilateral development agencies should coordinate their work to
meet the region’s needs,” CAF President Enrique García, said.
“This joint effort, which we are forming, will allow us to offer
concrete solutions to face the present situation.  The amounts
pledged by CAF under this effort will add to other similar efforts
that we been doing since the beginning of the crisis.”

The Latin American and the Caribbean region is not the epicenter
of the crisis; on the contrary, this time the region is suffering
the impact of the global shock.   Latin America managed to lift
52 million people out of poverty from 2002–2007 but this trend may
reverse and it is important to protect the region’s social gains.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication.  Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably different.  Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities.  Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
