STANFORD INT'L BANK: Liquidators Fight Over US$198-Mln UK Assets
----------------------------------------------------------------
Stanford Financial Group (SFG) court-appointed receiver, Ralph
Janvey, and Stanford International Bank Limited (SIBL)'s
receivers, Nigel Hamilton-Smith and Peter Wastell at Vantis
Business Recovery Services, are in a legal battle to seek the
right to distribute Robert Allen Stanford's GBP120 million (US$198
million) assets in the United Kingdom, Lindsay Fortado and Laurel
Brubaker Calkins of Bloomberg News report.

The report relates lawyers told a London court at a three-day
hearing last week that that they can’t reach an agreement on which
receiver should control Mr. Stanford's UK assets held by SIBL in
the UK.  “Cooperation has been sought” with the US receiver, the
report quoted Antony Zacaroli, the lawyer for the Antiguans as
saying.  “It hasn’t been achieved yet,” he added.

According to the report, Mr. Zacaroli told Justice Kim Lewison at
the start of the hearing that SIBL was established and
incorporated in Antigua 19 years ago and is regulated by the
island’s Financial Services Regulatory Commission, so the bank’s
funds should be liquidated there.  The report relates Mr. Zacaroli
argued that Mr. Stanford’s UK assets are all in SIBL’s name.

However, the Bloomberg News relates that Stuart Isaacs, Mr.
Janvey's lawyer, said Stanford Group’s global operations were
based in Houston and the U.S. receiver should be responsible for
distributing the bulk of his assets to creditors.  “If you entrust
the assets to the office holder who’s in charge of the group, that
person can act more efficiently and more effectively for
shareholders,” the report quoted Mr. Isaacs as saying.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on Feb. 17, charged
Mr. Stanford and three of his companies for orchestrating a
fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme centering on an
US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program.  Mr. Stanford's
companies include SIBL, Stanford Group Company (SGC), and
investment adviser Stanford Capital Management.  According to a
TCR-LA  April 8 report, citing Bloomberg News, U.S. District Judge
David Godbey seized all of Mr. Stanford’s corporate and personal
assets and placed them under the control of Mr. Janvey.

FRAVEGA SA: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Local Currency Rating on Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Latin America assigned a B2 local currency rating and an
A1.ar National Scale Rating for the proposed issuance of
ARS50 million in domestic market bonds in Argentina by Fravega
S.A.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed Fravega's B2 local
currency corporate family rating and A1.ar Argentina national
scale rating.  The proceeds from the issuance will be used for
capex needs, to refinance short term debt and for working capital
purposes. The outlook for all ratings is stable.

The B2 and A1.ar ratings are constrained by Fravega's tight
liquidity profile, low geographic diversity and relatively small
scale.  However, the ratings also reflect Fravega's position as
one of the largest dedicated retailers of consumer electronics and
appliances in Argentina.  "An important consideration for the
assigned ratings was that delinquency risk for credit card
purchases is assumed solely by the credit card issuers.  Credit
card sales represent a significant portion of Fravega's total
sales and often allow customers to pay in several monthly
installments" said Moody's AVP-Analyst Veronica Amendola.  The
ratings also reflect Fravega's solid position in selling well-
known brand names and its well-established relationships with
suppliers.

Given Moody's expectation of a major slowdown in the Argentine
economy, leading to higher unemployment rates affecting the
domestic retail market, the ratings anticipate weaker than long-
term average operating margins in 2009 and 2010, notwithstanding
management's planned actions to reduce costs.  Fravega's ability
to continue to roll over its advised bank credit lines, in
particular during 2010 when most of its outstanding debt is coming
due, will continue to be closely monitored by Moody's.

Fravega's B2 local currency rating reflects its global default and
loss expectation, while the A1.ar national scale rating reflects
the standing of Fravega's credit quality relative to its domestic
peers.

Moody's National Scale Ratings are intended as relative measures
of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within a
country, enabling market participants to better differentiate
relative risks.  NSRs in Argentina are designated by the ".ar"
suffix.  Issuers or issues rated A1.ar present above-average
creditworthiness relative to other domestic issuers.  NSRs differ
from global scale ratings in that they are not globally comparable
to the full universe of Moody's rated entities, but only with
other rated entities within the same country.

The stable outlook is based on Moody's expectation that Fravega
will continue to successfully implement its business model, even
in a more challenging macroeconomic environment, thus allowing the
retailer to maintain adequate credit metrics for its rating
category.  The outlook also reflects Moody's expectation that
Fravega will not pay dividends in 2009-2010 in order to preserve
free cash flow for debt service.  Finally, the outlook is stable
because Moody's expects that Fravega will be able to maintain
adequate access to bank loans and credit card receivable
discounting facilities, even in more adverse market conditions.

An upgrade of the ratings or outlook could result from increased
size and geographical diversification, along with an improving
business environment in Argentina and a stronger liquidity
profile.  The publication of quarterly financials statements would
also be an important factor for an upgrade.

Negative pressure on the ratings or outlook could result from a
greater than expected impact of the expected downturn in the
Argentinean economy on the availability of consumer loans.
Quantitatively, a downgrade could result from a drop in Fravega's
EBIT margin to below 1% or a significant increase in leverage,
with adjusted total debt to EBITDA of above 3.5 times.
Indications of a weakening market share in the domestic retail
market could also drive negative pressure.  Finally, evidence of
weaker than expected cash flows and/or bank relationship
deterioration that could threaten Fravega's 2010 liquidity profile
could also result in a downgrade.

Headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Fravega is one of the
largest home appliance retailers in Argentina.  With total
revenues of ARS 1.7 billion and 4.200 employees as of December
2008, Fravega is a family-owned company with a widely known brand
name in the local retail market.

* ARGENTINA: Makes US$33.7 Million Early Payment on 2012 Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Argentina made an early payment of US$33.7 million to holders of
the country’s dollar bonds maturing in 2012, Drew Benson at
Bloomberg News reported.

The government received offers totaling US$44.4 million, the
Economy Ministry said in an e-mailed statement obtained by
Bloomberg News.  The government is scheduled make a payment of
Us$2.25 billion on Aug. 3, the report said.

“Of all of the bondholders, less than 2 percent presented offers
for a discounted payment, which demonstrates the market’s very
positive expectations with respect to the nation’s compliance with
its short-term financial obligations,” the Economy Ministry said
as quoted by the news agency.

President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner offered the early discounted
payment amid speculation slowing economic growth and a lack of
access to international debt markets have increased the chances of
a default, according to the report.

                         *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
December 23, 2008, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Republic of
Argentina's long-term local currency issuer default rating to
'B-'; country ceiling to 'B'; and performing bonds in foreign and
local currency governed by Argentine law to 'B-/RR4'.  The rating
outlook on the local currency IDR is Stable.

In addition, Fitch affirmed the country's long-term foreign
currency IDR remains in Restricted Default ('RD'); short-term IDR
at 'B'; performing bonds in foreign currency governed by foreign
law at 'B-/RR4'; defaulted senior unsecured notes at 'CC/RR4'; and
defaulted collateralized Brady bonds at 'CCC-/RR3'.

BANCO BRASCAN: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Issuer Default Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Banco Brascan S.A.:

  -- Long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default ratings
     at 'BB+'; Outlook Stable;

  -- Short-term foreign and local currency IDRs at 'B';

  -- Support rating at '3';

  -- National Long-term rating at 'AA-(bra)'; Outlook Stable;

  -- National Short-term rating at 'F1+(bra)'.

The IDRs and National Ratings of Brascan reflect the support of
the majority shareholder, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM;
IDR 'BBB+' with a Stable Outlook by Fitch).  BAM considers that
Brazil is a strategic market and the activities developed by the
bank, led by executives with solid experience, are an important
complement to the group's Brazilian business, though not yet a
significant contributor to the group's business.  In Fitch's view,
any improvement or deterioration in its risk profile could lead to
a change in Brascan's ratings.

Brascan is a small investment bank, with relevant asset and
liability concentrations.  Its results have been volatile,
reflecting lower leveraging and opportunistic action in selected
investment banking niches, as well as greater dependency on
treasury gains since 2001.  The weak performance in 2008 reflected
smaller treasury gains during the year and deceleration of the
other commercial activities, due to deterioration in the business
environment.  Fitch foresees earnings in 2009 and 2010 will
continue to be pressured as long as it lacks more consistent
business and revenue generation.

In response to the global financial crisis, Brascan emphasized the
creation of greater cash during 2008 and worked to improve the
matching of assets and liabilities, adjusting its business
generation to a more adverse scenario.  Fitch believes that
despite an adverse scenario and a more conservative approach at
leverage, treasury will continue to originate the largest risk
exposures.  Loan portfolio, including guarantees, has presented
some growth in recent years, but its participation is still small.
It totaled BRL176.9 million at fiscal year end 2008 and is
concentrated in a select group of clients, with operations mainly
secured by company receivables, which has experienced some
deterioration due to the worsening of the macroeconomic scenario,
leading to increased provisions, common across the banking system.
Impaired loans represented 3.8% of the loan portfolio at FYE08 and
were covered by provisions equivalent to a high 90.5%.

In 2003 Brascan was fined by the Federal Revenue Department and,
in January 2006, received a favorable ruling from the SRF Taxpayer
Board.  Although the government has appealed the ruling, the
prospects regarding the outcome of this fine (estimated at
BRL146 million at FYE08) are now more favorable for Brascan.
Fitch considers that any potential negative impact, as the bank
has not made reserves, would be limited due to the support of the
bank's shareholder.

Brascan and its affiliates focus on treasury, financial consulting
services, brokerage, asset management and corporate finance for
medium-sized and large companies.

Fitch's national ratings provide a relative measure of
creditworthiness for rated entities in countries where the
sovereign's foreign and local currency ratings are below 'AAA'.
National ratings are not internationally comparable since the best
relative risk within a country is rated 'AAA' and other credits
are rated only relative to this risk.  They are signified by the
addition of an identifier, for the country concerned, such as 'AAA
(bra)' for national ratings in Brazil.



BANCO CRUZEIRO: Sells US$60 Million Bonds
-----------------------------------------
Brazil-based Banco Cruzeiro do Sul SA has sold US$60 million in

* ECUADOR: To Review Other Debts After Buyback
----------------------------------------------
Ecuador will review the legitimacy of loans from multilateral
lenders and other governments in the coming months after
completing a buyback plan on US$3.2 billion in defaulted bonds,
Stephan Kueffner of Bloomberg News reports, citing Ecuador
President Rafael Correa.  The report relates President Correa said
the government must decide how to treat the debts, which accounted
for two-thirds of the US$10 billion the country owed as of
December, when it defaulted.

According to the report, President Correa said the loans from
institutions such as the World Bank involved criminal acts by
previous governments.

As published in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Nov. 25, 2008, Reuters reported that President Correa said he
would not withdraw an international suit to suspend a Brazilian
loan repayment even if it frays diplomatic ties between the two
countries.  In that TCRLA report, Bloomberg News said Ecuador
filed a lawsuit to suspend payment on a loan owed to a Brazilian
government bank, charging that the credit's terms are unlawful.
Bloomberg News related Jorge Glas, head of a government fund
handling the lawsuit, said the loan granted by BNDES, Brazil's
state development bank, was linked to a construction company that
was expelled from the country over a contractual dispute.  In
September, Bloomberg News recounted, President Correa threatened
not to repay the central bank, holding that the loan was granted
to Brazilian top construction firm Odebrecht to build a plant and
not to the government.

Ramiro Crespo, head of Quito-based brokerage Analytica
Investments, as cited by Bloomberg News, said it’s most likely
that President Correa will demand arbitration rather than quit
paying on the multilateral loans, which was in question for its
legitimacy.  Arbitration would avoid disgruntling important
partners such as France or Brazil, Mr. Crespo added.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
December 17, 2008, Fitch Ratings downgraded Ecuador's long-

'CCC' following the expiration of the grace period for the coupon
payment on the 2012 global bonds that was due on Nov. 15 and the
government's announcement that it will selectively default on all
global bonds.  The short-term foreign currency rating was
downgraded to 'D' from 'C'.  The country ceiling remains at 'B-'.

SJC: GEM & Energen Makes US$3 Million Downpayment for Assets
------------------------------------------------------------
The New York-based private equity firm Global Emerging Market
(GEM) and Energen Development Limited partnership have made a
US$3-million downpayment for Sugar Company of Jamaica ("SCJ")'s
Monymusk and Bernard Lodge factories, Mark Titus of the Jamaica
Gleaner reports, citing Energen chairman Steven Hawkes.

According to the Gleaner, GEM in the first 18 months will pour up
to US$200 million into the venture.  The report relates the
downpayment was financed from the US$5 million fronted by GEM,
while the other US$2 million, to be spent in the first two months
of start-up, is earmarked for preparatory engineering works.

However, the report notes, the partnership, was denied the
Petrojam Ethanol Limited plant, which was included in its initial
bid.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 19, 2009, The Gleaner said SCJ's sugar factories are now
expected to be sold off to what has been described as a "priority
four investors."  The report same recalled sources said the
government failed to offload the company as a single entity.
According to the report, the shortlisted four are:

   *  a conglomerate -- Hussey family and American
      partners -- who is going after the Long Pond and Hampden
      Estates in Trelawny;

   *  Energen for the Petrojam Ethanol facility and
      Bernard Lodge, Innswood, Monymusk estates in Clarendon;

   *  Italians Eridania Sadam, who is eyeing the Frome estate in
      Westmoreland; and

   *  Fred M. Jones, in partnership with Seprod Limited, has set
      his sights on the Duckenfield estate in St Thomas.

Energen, as cited by the Gleaner, said it plans to pump US$125
million to US$200 million into the project in the first 18 months
to transform both factories' facilities from sugar production to
ethanol, steam and electricity, using sweet sorghum.  "The
factories hardly have anything worth saving.  Some will have to be
rebuilt completely or the entire infrastructure replaced," the
Gleaner quoted Mr. Hawkes as saying.  "That will be needed for
both locations," he added.

Meanwhile, the Gleaner notes that Mr. Hawkes did not specify the
ownership split of the sugar assets, however, he said that GEM
would be the majority owner, contributing US$30 million to US$50
million of equity, and another US$150 million of debt to the
partnership; suggesting that the entire financing needs in the
first year and a half will be covered by GEM.  The report says
Mr. Hawkes added that GEM may bring other partners into the deal
in order to share those costs.

Otherwise, the Gleaner relates, if no deal emerges, the partners
may eventually take the company public and float it on the stock
exchange.

The Gleaner discloses that the Jamaican Government is expected to
officially announce the winning bids and the terms of the deals
struck with Energen and the other three bidders sometime this
month.


* JAMAICA: Gov't Grants $20BB Guaranteed Loans to State Agencies   
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Jamaican government's guaranteed loans to major state entities

than $20 billion, RadioJamaica reports.  The report relates the
figure is expected to rise following the approval of a guarantee
to Air Jamaica Limited.

According to the report, a Ministry Paper tabled in Parliament
revealed that the guarantees were issued on behalf of nine
entities:

   -- National Road Operating and Constructing
      Company (NROCC), which had $8 billion in
      outstanding loans;

   -– Port Authority of Jamaica,

   –- Jamaica Urban Transit Company,

   -- Students' Loan Bureau,

   -- Air Jamaica Limited,

   -- Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica; and

   -- National Water Commission.

a B1 foreign currency rating and a Ba2 local currency rating.

CEMEX SAB: Holcim to Buy Firm's Australian Ops. for AU$2.02 Bln
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mexico-based Cemex S.A.B. de C.V. has agreed to sell its
Australian operations to Switzerland-based Holcim Group for

increase to raise the funds.  Reuters says Holcim will finance the
deal entirely with equity and is calling an extraordinary general
meeting in July to seek approval for a rights issue to raise
around 2 billion Swiss francs (US$2.3 billion).

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: S&P Downgrades Corp. Credit Rating to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term corporate
credit rating on Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. to 'B+' from 'BB-'.
The outlook remains negative.

"The downgrade reflects the company's tighter liquidity and, in
S&P's view, a heightened uncertainty regarding its willingness to
meet its contractual obligations with some of its suppliers.  In
S&P's opinion, claims of increased past-due accounts payable and
the recent nationalization of oil service companies respond mostly
to liquidity constraints, but also in part to decisions taken by
the central government.  The company's delay in providing updated
financial information has created further uncertainty regarding
the situation, in our view," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Enrique Gomez Tagle.

The ratings on PDVSA and Venezuela -- its sole shareholder -- are
linked, reflecting S&P's opinion that PDVSA is a public policy-
based institution that plays a central role in meeting the
sovereign's political and economic objectives.  The ties of
ownership and economic interests between PDVSA and Venezuela are
evident in the significant contribution of the oil industry to
government revenues (50%) and the country's exports (90%).
However, the one-notch differential between the issuer and the
sovereign rating on Venezuela reflects PDVSA's weaker stand-alone
credit quality (due to tighter liquidity, its more aggressive
financial policy, and the continued delays in the release of its
financial information), and S&P believes that extraordinary
support from the government is now less certain, given S&P's
expectation that the company could prioritize transfers to the
government before debt payments in a distress scenario.

The ratings assigned to PDVSA also reflect the inconsistencies
observed in its reported production figures versus those from
other sources, as well as the absence of an external audit of its
reserve base.  In S&P's opinion, the weighting toward heavy and
extra-heavy crude in the issuer's reserve base presents technical
and financial challenges that create uncertainty around its stated
production targets.  Furthermore, S&P believes that the company
may be constrained in its ability to attract foreign investment in
light of the recent nationalizations and the government's decision
to restructure PDVSA's operating service agreements that granted
the firm a majority share in the country's heavy oil production
projects in the Orinoco Zuata region.

PDVSA's position as one of the world's leading integrated national
oil companies supports the rating. PDVSA's standing in the
industry reflects its mandate to develop Venezuela's considerable
proven reserve base, low discovery and development costs, and its
ownership of CITGO Petroleum Corp. (CITGO; BB/Negative/--), one of
the leading refiners in the U.S.

A lower oil price environment could delay PDVSA's
In S&P's opinion, PDVSA's liquidity has tightened as a result of
the decline in oil prices at the end of 2008 and continued
transfers to the government.  S&P expects the company to be free-
cash-flow negative over the next few years, given the ongoing
government-directed large social expenditures and a lower oil
price environment.  Based on S&P's experience with other national
oil companies that carry a similar burden, it's S&P's opinion that
reductions in social and government transfers are difficult to
implement.  Unrestricted cash and equivalents as of Dec. 31, 2008,
totaled $4.5 billion compared with $6.6 billion in debt maturities
over the next 12 months (adjusted for pension liabilities and
government loans).  S&P believes that PDVSA's cash position has
decreased significantly during the last few months and that it has
minimal committed credit facilities available.

"The negative outlook reflects our views about PDVSA's liquidity
and its willingness to meet its obligations with suppliers, as
well as the negative outlook on Venezuela.  Further weakness in
PDVSA's liquidity and/or a negative rating action on Venezuela's
sovereign ratings may lead to a negative rating action on the
company.  A positive rating action would require evidence that
PDVSA is current on its obligations with suppliers and there has
been an improvement in its liquidity position," Mr. Tagle added.


* VENEZUELA: Government Takes Control of Cafea CA
-------------------------------------------------
Hugo Chavez's government took control of German-owned instant
coffee plant, Cafea CA, after officials from the company halted
production and fired staff late last year, Daniel Cancel of
Bloomberg News reports, citing Venezuela Trade Minister Eduardo
Saman.

“The workers requested the state’s intervention in this plant and
we’ll convert it into a company of social production,” the report
quoted Mr. Saman as saying.

The report relates Mr. Chavez said on state television that the
government will pay the company for machinery and assets seized
and will boost production at the plant.

According to Bloomberg News, Mr. Saman said Tachira-based Cafea CA
was founded by the government in 1976 and sold to a German company
in 1998.  The report relates Mr. Saman said the acquirer imported
coffee from Costa Rica, exported all of the processed product
abroad and mistreated employees.

According to Moody's Investors Service, Venezuela continues to
carry a B2 foreign currency rating and a B1 local currency rating
with stable outlook.


* VENEZUELA: Mulls 49% Stake Acquisition in Refineria Dominicana
----------------------------------------------------------------
Venezuela-owned Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) draw up the details
for the Venezuelan acquisition of a 49% stake in Dominican
Republic's Refidomsa oil refinery, after the Dominican government
bought out the half share in the plant held by Royal Dutch Shell
Plc, Pascal Fletcher of Reuters reports, citing Venezuela Oil
Minister Rafael Ramirez.  The report recalls in December, Royal
Dutch Shell completed its sale of its 50% shareholding in
Refidomsa (Refineria Dominicana de Petroleo S.A.) for US$110
million.

"We've agreed to acquire a 49% stake ... and then the idea is to
expand it (the refinery)," the report quoted Mr. Ramirez as
saying.

According to the report, Mr. Ramirez said the idea was to
integrate the Dominican Republic refinery into a network of
refineries being upgraded or built by Venezuela as part of
PetroCaribe, which allows small, oil-importing Caribbean and
Central American states to buy Venezuelan crude and refined
products on easier terms.

PetroCaribe, Reuters notes, has planned eight refinery expansion
and construction projects in the Caribbean and Central America
that involve a total of 580,000 bpd of refining capacity.  The
report relates the projects are due to be completed by 2012 at a
cost that Ramirez has estimated at US$24 billion.

However, Reuters says some analysts question whether PetroCaribe
and its main backer and funder Venezuela can deliver on this
ambitious promised regional refinery expansion program given the
sharp fall off in oil prices over the last year.

                            ***********

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
