BANCO PATAGONIA: Banco do Brasil May Take Over Bank
---------------------------------------------------
A negotiation that will allow state-owned Banco do Brasil to
takeover Banco Patagonia SA could be wrapped up later this month,
Rogerio Jelmayer and Matthew Cowley at Dow Jones Newswires report,
citing an unnamed source.  Sources told Dow Jones that Banco do
Brasil is still determining whether it will take a majority stake
in the company, or a minority position.

According to the report, investors have been speculating about a
possible purchase since late last year, and that has increased in
recent days.  Late last year, the report recalls, Banco do Brasil
President Aldemir Bendine acknowledged that the bank was in talks
with the owners of Banco Patagonia.

Dow Jones Newswires, citing Agencia Estado, notes that Banco
Patagonia has been valued at around US$1 billion.  The report
relates Agencia Estado said that Banco do Brasil is close to an
agreement over the 49.94% stake held by two brothers, Jorge and
Ricardo Stuart Milne, as well as a 9.26% stake held by Emilio
Gonzalez Moreno.

The negotiations, the report said, are being held up by
fluctuations in the value of Argentine government bonds, of which
Banco Patagonia holds a large stock.  The bonds have been volatile
amid a political crisis over the use of central bank reserves to
pay down debts, the report adds.

deposits from the general public and uses those funds to originate
a variery of loans.

AES CORP: AES Eletropaulo 4Q Profit Drops 1.1% to BRL525.6 Million
------------------------------------------------------------------
AES Eletropaulo, a unit of The AES Corporation, posted a 1.1% drop
in fourth-quarter net profit to BRL525.6 million (US$297 million),
Rogerio Jelmayer at Dow Jones Newswires reports, citing a company
statement.  The report relates that the company attributed the
reduction of its net profit in the period to an increase of its
operational expenses.

According to the report, Eletropaulo's operational expenses
totaled BRL1.74 billion in the fourth quarter, up from BRL1.5
billion in the year-earlier period.  The report notes that the
company's net revenue was BRL2.19 billion in the fourth quarter,
up from BRL1.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.  EBITDA
dropped 22.5% to BRL431 million, the report says.

Dow Jones Newswires adds that for the full year of 2009,
Eletropaulo reported a net profit of BRL1.06 billion, up from

BANCO DAYCOVAL: Fitch Assigns 'BB' Rating on US$300 Mil. Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a final 'BB' Foreign Currency Long-Term
Rating to US$300 million of senior notes of Banco Daycoval S.A.,
with interest payable semi annually and principal due at maturity
in March 2015.

The final rating assigned to Daycoval's issuance reflects Daycoval
Issuer Default Ratings and ranks equal as other senior unsecured
debts.  This issuance is part of a Euro medium-term notes program
of up to US$1 billion and its proceeds shall be used to extend the
bank's funding structure and to enable new business generation.

Daycoval's Long-term IDR (rated 'BB' with a Stable Outlook)
reflect its consistent track record of profitability, which
compares it well regionally, despite operating with low leverage;
the satisfactory local and international funding structure relied
on longer tenors, good efficiency ratios and adequate liquidity
management, even in stressful scenarios.  The ratings also
consider management's ability to adjust during downturns, adopting
a more conservative approach towards provisioning with
satisfactory loss coverage, for example.  On the other hand, the
ratings consider the bank's medium size, its concentration of
assets and liabilities, and the challenge of seeking more
diversified and longer-term funding channels on top of higher
diversification of its revenue sources.

Daycoval started operations in 1968 with the creation of Daycoval
DTVM and Valco Corretora de Valores.  It is controlled by the
Dayan family and, since 2007, its shares are traded at the Sao
Paulo Stock Exchange (BMF&Bovespa).

state development bank (BNDES), and AES Corp.

According to the report, Eletropaulo said it will use part of its

its bonds due in 2010.

Eletropaulo Metropolitana SA generates, transmits, distributes,

* ECUADOR: IDB OKs US$14 Million to Improve Marine Conservation
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank approved a US$4 million grant
from the IDB-Global Environment Facility to advance marine and
coastal biodiversity conservation in Ecuador by supporting a
protected areas network and helping implement a national action
plan for the protection of sharks.

The Government of Ecuador will provide an additional US$4.3
million in local counterpart funds, taking total funding for the
project to US$8.3 million.  These funds will be complemented by
US$13 million in associated financing from the U.S. Agency for
International Development's project "Partnerships for Biodiversity
Conservation in Ecuador's Pacific Lowlands and Coast."

Ecuador's Environment Ministry will use the funds to strengthen 13
existing Marine Protected Areas and create two new ones, and to
shore up the National Plan of Action for the Conservation and
Management of Sharks.  The Plan was adopted in 2006 in order to
address the problem of declining shark populations, which is
particularly evident among hammerhead sharks.

The project is expected to cut the total annual landings of
endangered sharks from the current 39,000 to 31,000 and to
substantially reduce the incidence of accidental shark by- catch.
Ecuador's nearly 60,000 artisanal fishermen, operating from 138
localities distributed along the coast, will be active
participants in the conservation effort.

In order to help achieve these goals, 50 scientists and managers
will be trained, while data will be compiled and guidelines for
conservation and management of endangered species will be
published.

The two new MPAs will take the total area under protection from
332,000 ha to 400,000 ha.  Under the project, all MPAs are
expected to produce management plans and maps showing their
precise limits, up from only four that have do so until now.

The MPAs will also be integrated into a nationwide network, and
their scope will be expanded from the prevailing focus, which
emphasizes mangrove conservation, to include other ecosystems such
as rocky reefs, estuaries, sandy bottoms and sea mounts.
Additionally, in order to improve onsite surveillance and
enforcement, the MPAs will be included in the Coast Guard's vessel
monitoring system and regulations will be updated to ensure that
sanctions are applied to infractions.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
December 17, 2008, Fitch Ratings downgraded Ecuador's long-
term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'RD' from
'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-'.

SUGAR COMPANY OF JAMAICA: PM to Hold Talks With Possible Investor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Finance Minister Audley Shaw is to hold talks with representatives
of the sugar processing and marketing company Tate and Lyle, which
is said to have shown interest in the Sugar Company of Jamaica
Limited, RadioJamaica reports.

According to the report, Mr. Shaw said that with two of the five
divested government sugar estates showing strong improvement, he
is confident that with interest being shown by Tate and Lyle and
other entities, the sugar industry will return to profitability.
The report relates Mr. Shaw said that any partnership struck with
Tate and Lyle, which has been involved in the processing and
marketing of sugar for over 200 years, will have significant
benefits for Jamaica.

Meanwhile, the report says, cane farmers are keeping their fingers
crossed that a deal is hammered out between the government and
Tate and Lyle.  The report relates Allan Rickards, Chairman of the
All-Island Jamaica Cane Farmers Association, said that he has been
informed that while the conglomerate is not interested in
purchasing state-run factories it is looking at other areas of
opportunity.

                            About SCJ

The Sugar Company of Jamaica Limited, a.k.a. SCJ, was formed in
November 1993 by a consortium made up of J. Wray & Nephew
Limited, Manufacturers Investments Limited and Booker Tate
Limited.  The three companies each held 17% equity in SCJ, with
the remaining 49% being held by the government of Jamaica.  In
1998, the government became the sole shareholder of SCJ by
acquiring the interests of the members of the consortium. Its
stated goal was to maximize efficiency, productivity and
profitability of the three sugar factories, within three years.
The principal activities of the company are the cultivation of
cane and the manufacture and sale of sugar and molasses.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 22, 2009, the Jamaica Gleaner reported that Mr. Tufton said
that if a new deal is not inked soon for the divestment of SCJ's
factories, the public will be called on again to plug a projected
US$4.2 billion hole -- representing a US$2 billion operational
loss, and bank penalties -- apparently from continuous hefty
overdrafts.  The loss was incurred by the SCJ's four factories
during the 2008/2009 season.  The Gleaner related the enterprise
has a US$21-billion debt and losses totaling more than US$14
billion since 2005.


WINDALCO: UC Rusal Facing More Problems
---------------------------------------
West Indies Alumina Company's parent company UC Rusal is facing
more challenges amid cutback in local mining activities,
RadioJamaica reports.  The report relates the Russian firm is
seeking to renegotiate alumina sales contracts for 2009 and 2010
with smelters and traders.

According to the report, the Russian aluminium producer has not
yet delivered on some contracts from last year and there are
concerns about the delivery of material on contract for this year.
The report notes that the total value of the alumina involved is
said to be in the region of US$2.5 billion.

RaioJamaica, citing a report carried by a metals website, says
that the main issue is that Rusal is over-committed since it
stopped its refineries in Jamaica and Italy.  The report relates
that UC Rusal has also been facing financial difficulties and
problems with the Russian government.

                           About WINDALCO

West Indies Alumina Company is situated on the island of Jamaica
in the Caribbean.  The company comprises two alumina refineries
(Ewarton Works and Kirkvine Works), a shipping port (Port
Esquivel) and also bauxite mines in Schwallenburgh (Ewarton) and
Russell Place (Kirkvine) and farms in Manchester and St. Ann.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 8, 2010, Jamaica Gleaner said that West Indies Alumina
Company will end its bauxite production in Jamaica and make 762
permanent jobs redundant.  The report related that the redundancy
exercise comes a year after the company suspended production at
its Kirkvine, Manchester, and Ewarton, St Catherine, refineries
because of reduced demand for aluminium on the world market.  The
company is 93% owned by Russian entity, UC Rusal.

AXTEL SAB: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Rating on US$190 Mil. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to Axtel, S.A.B.
de C.V.'s US$190 million in notes due in 2019.  The new notes will
be an add-on to the US$300 million senior unsecured notes (rated
Ba3, stable)issued in September 2009 and due in 2019.  Proceeds
from the reopening will be used to repay debt, including
US$105 million in syndicated loans maturing from 2010 to 2012,
besides certain short term debt.  Any remainder will be used for
general corporate purposes.  The outlook on the rating is stable.

Axtel's Ba3 ratings reflect the company's small revenue size and
lack of free cash flow generation, which Moody's expects will
continue mainly due to large growth capital expenditures.  In
addition, Axtel's ratings reflect the operating challenges arising
from strong competition from incumbent Telmex and Cable TV
operators as well as wireless substitution.  Balancing these
credit negatives is Axtel's solid EBITDA margin and management's
largely prudent financial policies.  Also, the competitive risk is
somewhat mitigated by Axtel's stronger customer mix: as of
December 2009, business customers represented 35% of lines in
service but a high 79% of total revenues, which reduces the threat
from triple-play cable voice offerings.  The reopening of the 2019
notes should not significantly increase the company's debt since
the majority of the respective net proceeds will be used to
refinance existing debt.

While Moody's recognize that Axtel's management has followed
prudent financial practices and that the company's current
liquidity position and debt maturity profile are adequate, the
intense competitive environment is expected to continue to place
pressure on the company's operating margins and cash generation,
making it a challenge to sustain its leverage tolerance level of 3
times debt to EBITDA, if capital expenditure requirements remain
elevated.  The stable ratings outlook is based on Moody's
expectations that Axtel will be able to improve operating results
as the initial WiMax problems have been resolved and that the
company will maintain its conservative financial policies and
strong liquidity.

The WiMax technology should provide the basis for Axtel's revenue
growth as it offers mobility and higher bandwidth for data
services, thus improving its competitiveness against both fixed
line and mobile operators.  However, strong competitive pressures
to offer new services and bundles, including wireless and video
services, has forced the company to carry on higher than expected
operating and capital expenditures, placing continued negative
pressure on FCF generation.

Going forward, to the extent that Axtel is successful at lowering
subscriber disconnections as well as increasing revenues and
margins to the point that FCF generation improves and becomes
sustainable, its ratings could be upgraded.  Conversely, should
Axtel take longer to achieve adequate and sustainable levels of
free cash flow, its ratings could undergo further negative rating
actions.  Specific factors that could trigger a ratings downgrade
include weak operating results and continuous negative free cash
flow generation with limited prospects of a recovery.  Moody's
will closely monitor the company's interest coverage ratio, as
measured by EBITDA minus capex to interest expenses, and
debt/EBITDA ratio.  An underperformance of the company's business
or a major acquisition/capital investment that drive adjusted
debt/EBITDA above 3 times would put negative pressure on Axtel's
ratings.

Axtel's liquidity is adequate as cash on hand plus short term
investments cover debt maturing in the next 12 months.  The
proposed increase in the size of the 2019 notes should improve
Axtel's liquidity position even further since proceeds will be
used mostly to refinance upcoming debt maturities.  Axtel's
ratings assume that the final legal decision about interconnection
rates, whenever reached, as well a possible acquisition of
wireless spectrum, will not jeopardize Axtel's liquidity position
or debt repayment capacity given management's prudent financial
policies.

Before the action, last action on Axtel's ratings was on March 8,
2010, when Moody's downgraded Axtel's ratings to Ba3 from Ba2 and
changed the outlook on the ratings to stable from negative.

Based in Monterrey, Mexico, Axtel is a competitive local telephone
company providing bundled products including voice, data and
Internet services to business and residential users within Mexico.
Axtel provides telecommunications services using a suite of
technologies including FWA, WiMAX, copper, fiber-optic, point to
multipoint radios and traditional point to point microwave access,
among others.  Axtel is the second-largest fixed line telecom in
Mexico with an 8% revenues market share as of December 2009.  At
present, Axtel serves 39 cities.  In 2009, revenues reached
US$810 million with a 39.8% adjusted EBITDA margin.


AXTEL'S SAB: Fitch Assigns 'BB' Rating on US$190 Mil. Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB' rating to the up to
US$190 million proposed reopening of Axtel's, S.A.B. de C.V. 2019
senior notes.  Proceeds from the reopening are expected to be used
primarily for refinancing purposes and to a lesser extent for
general corporate uses.  The 2019 notes rank pari passu with
existing 2017 notes and other indebtedness and will be guaranteed
by all subsidiaries with the exception of Telecom Networks Inc.

Axtel ratings are supported by its business position as the
largest competitive local exchange carrier in Mexico, moderate
financial profile, adequate liquidity and the expectation of
positive free cash flow in the next few years.  The ratings are
tempered by increased competition, particularly in the residential
market, mobile substitution and modest regulatory risk.

Leverage is expected to remain stable or decline slightly during
2010.

Total debt to EBITDA weakened during 2009 to 2.6 times (x) due to
increased indebtedness and lower than expected EBITDA.
Incorporated in Axtel ratings is that total debt to EBITDA should
be approximately 2.0x over the long term; however, credit quality
will be pressured if this ratio does not meet Fitch's 2010
expectation and the company does not show a clear path to lowering
the ratio in the short term, which would likely to result in a one
notch downgrade.

Liquidity remains adequate, and the debt maturity schedule should
improve with the proposed transaction.

As of Dec. 31, 2009 the company registered cash of
MXN1,402 million compared to short-term maturities of
MXN944 million and the last 12 months of funds from operations
of approximately MXN2,909 million.  Adjusting for a cash
disbursement to Telmex during January 2010, cash is close to
MXN1 billion.  Pro forma for the bond reopening, Axtel should face
US$74 million in maturities over the next three years before it
faces the US$275 million maturity in 2017 and US$300 million plus
the proposed issuance in 2019.  Assuming the proposed transaction
is successful, total debt should be composed of US$275 million in
senior notes due 2017, up to US$490 million in senior notes due
2019 and US$74 million in other loans and capital leases.  Axtel
has exchanged the debt service of its 2017 and existing 2019
senior notes to MXNs; however, the principal amount remains
exposed to the US Dollar, adding currency risk.

Axtel's solid business position is underpinned by an integrated
voice and data offering in 39 cities in Mexico; however, the
absence of a pay-tv offering limits its competitive position in
the residential segment.  Fitch expects Axtel to pursue a pay-tv
alternative by the second half of 2010 to enhance its
competitiveness in this segment.  Fitch takes into account that
cash outflows for this project should not be material whether
Axtel elects to offer the service on its own or end with an
agreement with a direct to home provider.  Balanced EBITDA
generation between the residential and the corporate segment
partially compensates for intense competition in the residential
market.  The ratings continue to incorporate the gradual
termination of the agreement with Nextel that should reduce
contribution to consolidated revenues from 10.8% in 2008 to about
5% in 2010 and 2% by 2011.  Fitch's previous expectation that in
the medium term, margin growth from data and local services should
compensate for cash flow loss related to Nextel was not completely
offset during the second half of 2009, resulting in lower
operating results.

The introduction of Wimax services in 2009 helped Axtel to
stabilize the negative trend of lines in service.  Fitch expects
Axtel to post moderate growth in LIS during 2010.  The delay of
Wimax introduction during 2008 in conjunction with number
portability and the termination of the agreement with Cablemas
affected LIS, which in turn resulted in disconnections; however,
the company has been able to stabilize and moderately grow its LIS
since the second half of 2009.  Number portability balance for
Axtel has remained neutral since September of 2009.

Fitch believes that a Wimax-based offering should increase Axtel's
competitive position within the residential market as it offers
broadband services at competitive speeds and VoIP services.  In
addition, as customers migrate to Wimax, capacity in older access
technologies will be released allowing the company to offer voice-
only services to users with lower demand for the released
capacity.  Pay television or 3G projects should not alter credit
quality.

Fitch believes it is economically more reasonable for Axtel to
offer mobile services through Wimax than deploying a 3G network.
Axtel has indicated that if it elects to participate in the 3G
spectrum auctions, the necessary funds for this project would be
financed with new equity without increasing leverage.  Fitch
considers that a pay-tv offering will enhance the competitive
position in the residential market.  Axtel current fixed wireless
Wimax service has the potential to develop mobility over the next
few years and may eventually lead Axtel to offer mobile services,
initially oriented toward data.

Axtel's ratings incorporate a relatively stable operating
performance.  During 2009, the company posted weaker than expected
operating results.  Failure to stabilize operating performance
should negatively affect credit quality.  Free cash flow should be
null for 2010, but should turn positive in coming years as capital
expenditures stabilize.  Potential expansion to new cities seems
limited and should not materially affect the cash flow of the
company as potential new cities are smaller and less populated
than cities where it currently has presence.

Fitch currently rates Axtel:

  -- Local currency Issuer Default Ratings at 'BB';
  -- Foreign currency IDR at 'BB';
  -- US$300 million senior notes due 2019 at 'BB';
  -- National scale rating at 'A+(mex)'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.


GMAC MEXICO: Moody's Confirms Banco Invex's Class A Certs. Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de Mexico S.A. de C.V. has confirmed the Baa1 rating
(Global Scale, Local Currency) and the Aaa.mx rating (Mexican
National Scale) of the Class A certificates FAMACB 08 of GMAC
Mexicana, Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado Filial issued by
Banco Invex, S.A., Institucion de Banca Multiple, Invex Grupo
Financiero, Fiduciario, acting solely in its capacity as trustee.
The certificates are backed by dealer floorplan loans originated
by GMAC Mexicana and assigned to the trust.  This rating action
concludes Moody's review of FAMACB 08 ratings initiated on
November 28, 2008.

On February 5, 2010, Moody's upgraded the senior unsecured rating
of GMAC Inc. and GMAC-supported subsidiaries to B3 from Ca (stable
outlook).  The upgrade of GMAC's rating reflects the improvement
in the firm's capital position resulting from its December 2009
issuance of trust preferred securities and mandatory convertible
preferred securities to the U.S. Treasury.  The U.S. Treasury now
owns 56% of GMAC.  The improved capital position of GMAC Inc.
reduces the potential pressures on GMAC Mexicana's business that
could lead, in turn, to higher dealer default rates and lower
collateral recovery rates.

The rating action also reflects GMAC Mexicana's ability to
properly service the transaction and monitor dealer performance
throughout the economic recession despite the adverse situation of
GM and GMAC in the U.S.  The performance of the underlying
receivables in the FAMACB 08 transaction is characterized by a
solid payment rate that is in line with historical averages and
Moody's expectations.  As of January 2010, the monthly payment
rate was 67.5% with a 3-month average of 64.4%.  As of the same
date, the transaction showed low delinquency levels with 120+
delinquencies at 2.8% of the outstanding balance of the pool.  In
addition, the transaction has a reserve of MXP36.6 million which
is equivalent to 2% of the outstanding balance of the
certificates.

Given the historical monthly payment rate behavior, the slower
than anticipated economy recovery, and the 26% decline in retail
sales during 2009 in the Mexican automotive industry Moody's
current range of expectations for the payment rate is 55% to 65%.
The performance expectations for a given variable indicate Moody's
forward-looking view of the likely performance over the medium
term.  From time to time, Moody's may, if warranted, change these
expectations.  Performance that significantly deviates from these
estimates may indicate that the collateral's credit quality is
stronger or weaker than Moody's had anticipated when the related
securities ratings were issued.  Even so, a deviation from the
expected levels will not necessarily result in a rating action nor
does performance within expectations preclude such actions.  The
decision to take (or not take) a rating action is dependent on an
assessment of a range of factors including, but not exclusively,
the performance metrics.

Future performance of this dealer floorplan ABS is linked to the
related manufacturer and can be affected negatively with an
insolvent manufacturer in the U.S. that could pressure GM's
Mexican business.  Moody's believes that the transaction
performance could also be affected as a result of decreased dealer
profitability in a low sales volume scenario caused by an economic
slowdown that could pressure dealer default rates.  The primary
source of assumption uncertainty is the decreased sales volume
scenario in which car sales in the domestic market have fallen
substantially over the last year as a result of the weak
macroeconomic environment.

The rating confirmation of FAMACB 08 reflects an analysis that
evaluates the protection available to note holders under stressed
scenarios.  These scenarios incorporate, among other factors,
stresses that could be realized in bankruptcy scenarios that
differ from the recent orderly bankruptcy experience of General
Motors.  The stresses address the level of dealer defaults,
monthly payment rate decline, and recovery rates in a future
bankruptcy that might be more disruptive than recent bankruptcy
experience.

The complete rating action is:

Issuer: Banco Invex, S.A., Institucion de Banca Multiple, Invex
Grupo Financiero, Fiduciario, acting solely in its capacity as
trustee.

  -- FAMACB 08 Class A - ratings of Baa1 (Global Scale, Local
     Currency) and Aaa.mx (National Scale Rating) confirmed.  Last
     rating action was on November 28, 2008, when the ratings were
     placed under review for possible downgrade.


* MEXICO: Seeks to Renew Deal Under IMF's Flexible Credit Line
--------------------------------------------------------------
John Lipsky, First Deputy Managing Director of the International
Monetary Fund, made the following statement in Washington:

"I welcome the authorities' indication that Mexico is interested
in renewing its one-year precautionary arrangement under the IMF's
Flexible Credit Line (FCL) for 1,000 percent of quota (SDR 32
billion or about US$48 billion).

"Mexico has a sustained record of sound economic policies, and has
very strong economic fundamentals, and institutional and policy
frameworks.  While Mexico has been hit hard by the global
financial crisis, the Mexican authorities have responded strongly
and effectively, and there are clear signs that a recovery is
underway.

"Given the uncertainties that remain in the global environment,
and noting the success of the current FCL arrangement, I share the
authorities' view that a successor FCL arrangement can play an
important role in continuing to support Mexico's policy strategy
and in maintaining external confidence.  The IMF's Management
therefore intends to move ahead rapidly in seeking approval by the
Fund's Executive Board of Mexico's request for an FCL
arrangement."

The FCL is an instrument established on March 24, 2009 that is
available to Fund member countries deemed to possess very strong
fundamentals, policies, and track records of policy
implementation.  Access to FCL resources is based on the
requesting country having met these criteria, rather than on
fulfilling ex-post performance criteria.  Mexico's Flexible Credit
Line was approved on April 17, 2009. For more information, please

* NICARAGUA: Affected by Global Crisis; GDP Contracted 1.5%
-----------------------------------------------------------
An International Monetary Fund mission visited Managua from
February 22 to March 5 to begin discussions in the context of the
fourth review under the Extended Credit Facility, as well as to
conduct the Article IV consultation Mr. Luis Cubeddu, mission
chief for Nicaragua, made the following statement in Managua:

"As anticipated, the Nicaraguan economy has been affected by the
global economic crisis, and real GDP growth is expected to have
contracted by about 1.5 percent during 2009.  At the same time,
inflation fell below 1 percent, due to weak domestic demand and
lower world commodity prices.  Recent data appears to indicate
that the economy has begun recovering, consistent with a
resumption of positive real GDP growth during 2010.

"Discussions focused in evaluating the economic program agreed in
the context of the ECF.  Preliminary data through December 2009
indicates that all quantitative targets at end-2009 were met with
some margins, in part reflecting the prudent implementation of
fiscal and monetary policies.  The mission discussed the economic
outlook for 2010, as well as the policies needed to maintain
macroeconomic stability, as well as to ensure the sustainability
of public finances and sound development of the financial system.
The mission also evaluated progress in implementing longer-term
reforms.  In this regard, the mission highlighted the need to make
progress towards:

   (i) evaluating the options to improve the financial situation
       of the Social Security Institute;
  (ii) consolidating the reforms in the electricity sector;
(iii) improving public financial management; and (iv)
       strengthening the policy instruments of the Central
       Bank.

"The discussions between Fund staff and Nicaraguan authorities
will continue in the coming weeks, with the objective of reaching
an understanding about a set of policies that could be presented
for the consideration

INYX USA: Wins Reorganization Plan Approval
-------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that a bankruptcy judge has signed off on Inyx USA
Ltd.'s Chapter 11 plan now that it has reached a settlement with
its litigious prepetition secured lender.

Uunder the proposed plan, the Debtor's assets will be sold to
controlling shareholder Jack Kachkar in exchange for a waiver of
the US$1.2 million postpetition financing the Debtor's owe him.
The plan, however, proposes that an auction for the Debtor's
assets be held to see whether a higher offer than that of
Mr. Kachkar will surface.  Mr. Kachkar, pursuant to the plan, will
also pay the Debtor's US$420,000.

Unsecured creditors with US$5.5 million in claims will divide
what cash is left, Bloomberg relates.  The disclosure statement
doesn't say how much creditors can expect to receive.

In January 2008, the Hon. Kevin Gross rejected Mr. Kachkar's offer
to buy the Debtor's assets for 337,500 and to forgive any claims
against him and parent company Inyx Inc., which Mr. Kachkar
controls.  Judge Gross determined that the sale might not benefit
the creditors and might not be in good faith.  The judge noted the
lack of evidence about the value of the assets being sold and the
claims being waived.

The Chapter 11 trustee for affiliate Inyx USA Inc. determined that
Inyx Inc. and Mr. Kachkar cheated secured lender Westernbank
Puerto Rico out of US$142.8 million. Westernbank said that Inyx
Inc. obtained loans through false and fraudulent invoices.

                          About Inyx USA

Inyx USA and Exaeris filed for chapter 11 protection on July 2,
2007 (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 07-10887 and 07-10888).  Anthony M.
Saccullo, Esq., at Fox Rothschild, L.L.P., represents the Debtors.
When Inyx USA filed for protection from its creditors, it listed
estimated assets and debts between US$1 million and US$100
million.  Exaeris estimated its assets were less than US$10,000
but debts were between US$1 million and US$100 million.

In Court documents filed by Jack Kachkar, CEO of Inyx, Inc., Inyx
USA is indebted to Westernbank Puerto Rico in the approximate
amount of US$35 million and secured by a first-priority lien in
substantially all of Inyx USA's assets.  Exaeris has in excess of
$5 million in prepetition unsecured obligations outstanding to
various creditors.

Ashton Pharmaceuticals and Inyx Pharma, the Debtors' UK
affiliates, were placed into an involuntary administration on
June 29, 2007.  Ernst & Young was appointed by the UK court as
administrators.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Still Committed to Isla Refinery
--------------------------------------------------------
Petroleos de Venezuela President Rafael Ramirez said that although
there are "many problems" at a 320,000-barrel-a-day refinery it
operates on the Caribbean island of Curacao, the company remains
committed to it, Dan Molinski at Dow Jones Newswires reports.  The
report relates that the Isla refinery has been completely shut
down for nearly two weeks after a power outage caused serious
damage to air compressors used at the plant.  No restart date has
been announced.

According to the report, Mr. Ramirez said Friday discussions that
began last year about PDVSA possibly buying the refinery from its
owner, the Curacao government, are ongoing, and he said a deal
remains possible.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 3, 2010, Reuters said that PDVSA may withdraw from the
320,000 barrel-per-day Isla refinery it operates in Curacao to
protest U.S. military operations on the Caribbean island.  The
report related Oil Minister Rafael said that Venezuela may order
PDVSA to abandon its lease of the Isla refinery because the U.S.
military has been staging "provocations" on Venezuela from
Curacao.

                           About PDVSA

Petroleos de Venezuela -- http://www.pdvsa.com/-- is Venezuela's
state oil company in charge of the development of the petroleum,

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
