BANCO MERCANTIL: S&P Raises Counterparty Credit Ratings to 'B/B'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its
counterparty credit ratings on Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz S.A. to
'B/B' from 'B-/C'. The outlook is positive.
The upgrade on BMSC follows that on the Plurinational State of
Bolivia (B/Positive/B), as S&P believes that the better
perspectives for the Bolivian economy would have a positive impact
on the creditworthiness of that nation's banking system.
"The ratings on BMSC remain constrained by the uncertainty
intrinsic to Bolivia's financial system and the country's still
high sovereign risk," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Delfina Cavanagh. "Nevertheless, despite the weak operating
environment, BMSC has shown consistent operating performance in
Bolivia for more than 100 years."
The bank enjoys a leading competitive position in the country,
good liquidity and profitability favored by a low-cost funding
base, and relatively good efficiency levels in addition to its
conservative management.
The ratings on Bolivia continue to be constrained by a fragmented
political landscape characterized by strong divisions among
regional, social, and ethnic lines. The Bolivian economy is
highly dependent on external conditions and has performed better
than most of its regional peers, with growth of 3.4% in 2009
despite the deterioration in the global economy.
The positive outlook reflects the better perspective for the
Bolivian economy, including its banking system.
S&P could lower the ratings or revise the outlook if there is a
similar action on the rating on the sovereign or if the bank's
stand-alone credit quality significantly deteriorates. Any upward
rating movement would be closely linked to the sovereign rating on
Bolivia.
BANCO SANTANDER: Moody's Withdraws 'B2' Long-Term Debt Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the global and national
scale ratings of Banco Santander Rio's global short and medium
term note program for up to US$250,000,000 for business reasons.
There is no longer any debt outstanding under the program.
Banco Santander Rio (Argentina) is headquartered in Buenos Aires
and it had assets of Ar$ 27.9 billion and deposits of
Ar$18.9 billion as of December 2009.
These ratings were withdrawn for Santander Rio's US$250 million
global short and medium term note program:
-- Long term foreign currency debt rating: B2, Stable Outlook
-- National Scale foreign currency debt rating: Aa3.ar, Stable

GOL LINHAS: May Raise Fares as Real Slump Hurts Operations
----------------------------------------------------------
The Brazilian real's slump after a record gain in 2009 may affect
operations in coming quarters of Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes,
Felipe Frisch and Fabiola Moura at Bloomberg News report, citing
Chief Executive Officer Constantino de Oliveira Jr.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 7, 2010, Bloomberg News said that Gol Linhas's first-quarter
profit fell 61% to BRL23.9 million (US$13.3 million) from BRL61.4
million a year earlier after a decline in the real increased the
value of its dollar-denominated debt. The report related that net
sales rose 14% to BRL1.73 billion in the quarter.
"The company's debt and investments are tied to the dollar," Mr.
de Oliveira Jr. told the news agency in an interview. "If the
dollar's tendency of rising is maintained, it will probably impact
the company's operations in the next quarters," he added.
According to the report, Mr. de Oliveira Jr. said that to
compensate for higher costs related to acquisitions and the
maintenance of airplanes, the company could reduce other expenses,
or increase fare prices. Gol Linhas has US$225 million in dollar-
denominated bonds due in 2017 and US$200 million due in 2049,
according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The report relates that
the company also has BRL400 million (US$215.6 million) in local-
currency bonds maturing in 2011.
Meanwhile, Mr. de Oliveira Jr., the report notes, said that Gol
Linhas hedges its operational expenses, not its debt, against
risks related to foreign-exchange volatility. Mr. de Oliveira
Jr., the report relates, said that Gol Linhas would consider
investing in airports in case existing facilities are sold to
private investors.
Moreover, the report adds the airline plans to open two stores in
Sao Paulo, including one at a bus station, to sell tickets and
help attract the country's growing middle class that doesn't use
the Internet.

GOL LINHAS: Records Demand Growth of 26.5%; Load Factor of 63.2%
----------------------------------------------------------------
GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. recorded its highest April
2010 demand figures in the domestic market since it began
operations in 2001.
Demand
In April 2010, demand on GOL's total and domestic route network
increased by 26.5% and 29.6%, respectively, fueled by the improved
economic scenario in Brazil and Latin America and the company's
competitive advantages in the business segment, especially its
higher flight frequency between Brazil's main airports,
particularly during business hours. The rapid development of the
SMILES program and exemplary quality indices (punctuality,
regularity and client service), also helped GOL become the
traveler's airline of choice.
In comparison with the previous month, domestic and international
demand fell by 6.1% and 5.2% respectively, due to seasonality and
the smaller number of calendar days (31 days in March, versus 30
in April).
Demand on GOL's international route network grew by 5.6% year-
over-year, mainly reflecting the recovery of economic activity in
South America, on flights to Argentina and Chile, and high demand
on the Caribbean routes.
Capacity
In this context of demand growth, with its disciplined strategy of
capacity growth, capacity moved up by 17.4% over April 2009, in
line with the upturn in demand, and fell by 3.7% over March 2010,
given the smaller number of business days.
Load Factor and Yield
As a result, the Company's load factor increased by 4.5 p.p. over
April 2009 to 63.2% (63.7% on the domestic market and 59.4% on the
international market), and recorded a 1.50 p.p. decline over the
previous month.
Yields maintained their upward trajectory, averaging slightly
above 20 cents (R$), despite the seasonally weaker period. As a
result, current yield levels are in line with the Company's
financial perspective.

BANCOLOMBIA SA: Records COP341 Billion Net Income in First Qtr
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bancolombia S.A. posted its financial results for the first
quarter 2010.
Lower loan portfolio deterioration in 1Q10 vs. 1Q09. New past due
loans before charge-offs in the last quarter were 27% lower than
in 1Q09, while charge-offs decreased 40% in 1Q10 as compared to
4Q09. As a result, provision charges net of recoveries totaled
COP 142 billion in the quarter, down 53% and 58% as compared to
4Q09 and 1Q10 respectively.
Solid non-interest income throughout the quarter. The combined
revenue of net fees and other operating income totaled COP 564
billion, which represents an increase of 14% as compared to 1Q09.
This performance is explained by solid results from our investment
banking unit, higher income from derivatives and solid fee
generation across our businesses.
Moderate expansion in operating expenses, which totaled
COP731 billion in 1Q10, up 2% as compared to 1Q09 and stable as
compared to 4Q09.
Mild recovery of lending activity in 1Q10. COP denominated loans
grew 2% vs.4Q09, while USD denominated loans were stable.
Income from investments was significantly lower during 1Q10 as it
decreased 85% and 70% as compared to 4Q09 and 1Q09 respectively.
These decreases were driven by mark-to-market losses from our bond
portfolio, and also by a base effect caused by the higher income
from investments in 1Q09 and 4Q09, when there were mark-to-market
gains and extraordinary income from investments.
Strong balance sheet: reserves for loan losses represented 5.8% of
total loans and 138% of past due loans at the end of 1Q10, while
capital adequacy finished the quarter at 13.6% (Tier 1 ratio of
10.8%), higher than the 12.7% (Tier 1 ratio of 9.6%) reported at
the end of 1Q09.
Solid liquidity position: the ratio of net loans to deposits
(including borrowings from development banks) was 92% at the end
of 1Q10.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010 ("1Q10"), Bancolombia's
consolidated net income totaled COP 341 billion (COP 433 per share
- USD 0.90 per ADR), which represents an increase of 10% as
compared to the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009
("1Q09"), and a decrease of 8% as compared to the results for the
quarter ended December 31, 2009 ("4Q09"). Bancolombia's return on
average shareholders' equity ("ROE") for 1Q10 was 19.4%.
Bancolombia ended 1Q10 with COP 60,771 billion in assets, down 2%
and 6% as compared to 4Q09 and 1Q09, respectively. At the same
time, total liabilities amounted to COP 53,968 billion and
decreased 8% as compared to 1Q09.

ECOPETROL SA: ANP Lets Firm Buy Stake in Offshore Block
-------------------------------------------------------
Brazil's National Petroleum Agency approved Hess Corp.'s sale of a
30% stake in the BM-ES-30 block to Ecopetrol SA, Jeff Fick at Dow
Jones Newswires reports. The report relates that the approval
was listed in minutes from the ANP's latest board meeting held
May 11.
According to the report, Hess will remain operator of the block in
the Espirito Santo Basin, with a 30% stake. The report relates
that Repsol YPF holds the remaining 40%. Brazilian oil laws
require that the operator of any exploration block hold a 30%
stake.
Hess Corp., the report notes, also holds a stake in the Santos
Basin's BM-S-22 block, part of the so-called presalt cluster;
while Exxon Mobil Corp.(XOM) has a 40% operating stake in the
block. The report says that the BM-S-22 block was home to the
Guarani prospect, one of the promising presalt basin's highest-
profile exploration failures. The well turned up dry in July 2009.

* COLOMBIA: Board Approves US$3.46 Billion Arrangement
------------------------------------------------------
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund approved a
successor one-year, SDR2.322 billion (about US$3.46 billion)
arrangement for Colombia under the Flexible Credit Line. The
Colombian authorities have stated they intend to treat the
arrangement as precautionary and not draw on the line. This
arrangement succeeds the previous one-year FCL agreed by the
Executive Board in May 2009.
The FCL is available to countries, such as Colombia, that have
demonstrated a very strong track record of sound macroeconomic
policies and institutional frameworks. Colombia is the second
country to formally request a successor FCL arrangement, following
Mexico.
The FCL was established on March 24, 2009 as part of a major
reform of the Fund's lending framework. The FCL is designed for
crisis prevention purposes as it provides the flexibility to draw
on the credit line at any time. Disbursements are not phased nor
conditioned on compliance with policy targets as in traditional
IMF-supported programs. This flexible access is justified by the
very strong track records of countries that qualify for the FCL,
which gives confidence that their economic policies will remain
strong.
Following the Executive Board discussion, Mr. John Lipsky, First
Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, made the following
statement:
"Colombia's solid macroeconomic performance in recent years has
been underpinned by a very strong policy framework. Before the
global crisis, inflation was brought down to low single digits
under the inflation targeting regime and the medium-term fiscal
framework allowed for a substantial reduction in debt ratios,
while a flexible exchange rate and prudent debt management helped
to reduce vulnerabilities. At the same time, strong prudential
supervision and regulation have kept the financial system sound.
"The strong policy framework allowed the authorities to conduct
countercyclical monetary and fiscal policies in response to the
global crisis. In addition, the authorities secured official
external financing (including a one-year FCL for about US$10.5
billion) and took further steps to strengthen financial
regulation. In the event, the domestic financial system did not
experience major strains and the government of Colombia maintained
access to international capital markets at favorable terms.
"Appropriate economic policies and the improvement in global
financial conditions led to resumed growth in mid-2009. The
exchange rate has strengthened and equity prices have recovered
from troughs seen at the height of the crisis, and sovereign risk
premia have declined. Looking forward, the outlook for 2010 is
generally positive, with output growth expected to exceed 2
percent. Policies will remain underpinned by the rule-based
macroeconomic framework, and the authorities will remain vigilant
to any future shock.
"While global conditions have vastly improved since early 2009,
the authorities recognize that downside risks remain. The
strength of the global recovery remains uncertain and the stimulus
measures in advanced economies have not yet produced strong
private sector demand. It is against this background that, at the
authorities' request, the Executive Board today approved a one-
year arrangement under the FCL for 300 percent of quota; which the
authorities intend to treat as precautionary.
"Colombia's strong economic fundamentals and institutional
framework, its proven track record of sound macroeconomic
policies, and the additional insurance provided by the new FCL
arrangement, give confidence that the authorities are well
prepared to manage risks and pressures in the event that he global
environment deteriorates" Mr. Lipsky said.

* GUATEMALA: "Economy's Recovery Underway," IMF Says
----------------------------------------------------
A staff team from the International Monetary Fund visited
Guatemala during April 27 to May 6, 2010, to conduct the third
review of the Stand-By Arrangement approved in April 2009. The
mission met with Minister of Finance Juan Alberto Fuentes Knight;
Central Bank Governor Maria Antonieta de Bonilla; Superintendent
of Banks Edgar Barquin; members of the Cabinet and Congress of the
Republic, and representatives of the private sector.
At the end of the visit Mr. Alejandro Lopez-Mejia, the IMF mission
chief for Guatemala, made the following statement:
"The recovery of the Guatemalan economy is under way. There is a
gradual pick up in domestic demand, international trade, and
private capital flows. International reserves are increasing, and
the quetzal has remained stable since end-March, following an
appreciation of 4.5 percent in the first quarter of the year. The
financial system continues to hold up well, though credit to the
private sector remains slow despite ample liquidity.
"The near-term outlook has improved since the previous review in
December 2009, reflecting the improved global environment and also
partly due to cautious macroeconomic policies that paved the way
for a resuming higher growth. The projection for output growth in
2010 has been revised upwards. Inflation has picked up, mainly as
a result of one-off increases in food and electricity prices,
associated to the draught and the increase in international oil
prices. Nonetheless, end-year inflation is projected to be around
5.5 percent, well within the central bank's target band.
International reserves increased in 2009, and are expected to
strengthen further in 2010.
"Performance under the precautionary SBA with the Fund remains
strong. The authorities met by wide margins all quantitative
performance criteria for end-December 2009 and end-March 2010, and
annual inflation stayed within the inner consultation band set in
the program. The two structural benchmarks for end-December (on
banks' liquidity and foreign currency risk management) were also
met.
"While supportive macroeconomic policies helped mitigate the
impact of the global crisis in Guatemala during 2009, the scope
for continued fiscal and monetary stimulus in 2010 is limited. A
fiscal deficit for the central government of, at most, 3.1 percent
of GDP in 2010 is necessary to end the fiscal stimulus. In view
of the ongoing recovery, we expect the authorities to allocate
part of the potential additional tax revenues to reduce the
deficit. A lower fiscal deficit will be conducive to rebuilding
fiscal space, safeguarding the debt dynamics, and increasing the
scope for undertaking supportive fiscal policies in the future.
Monetary policy is expected to remain vigilant, and it is expected
that stance will be tightened if the inflation forecast deviates
from the target.
"Continued implementation of fiscal reforms is critical to
strengthen the resilience of the economy. The mission reiterated
the importance of undertaking a comprehensive revenue reform to
reduce the fiscal deficit, while allowing for an increase in
public investment and social spending. Continue strengthening tax
administration and expenditure management is also essential to
support fiscal consolidation. At the same time, prompt
congressional approval of the amendments to the banking law should
remain a priority
"The authorities reiterated their intention to continue treating
the Stand-By Arrangement as precautionary. The mission expects
that the IMF Executive Board will consider completion of the third
review of the Stand-By Arrangement in mid-June 2010."

CABLE & WIRELESS: LIME Expects to be Fully Compensated by Digicel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lime (formerly Cable & Wireless Jamaica) said that it expects to
be "fully compensated" and "reimbursed" by Digicel in relation to
a ruling by the UK High Court, Jamaica Observer reports. The
report relates that the firm made the remarks in response to
reports that Digicel would be seeking to reduce costs awarded
against them in a suit it brought against Cable & Wireless.
According to the report, The High Court had awarded costs against
Digicel in its lawsuit against Cable & Wireless Communications and
scolded the Irish-owned telecoms provider for its handling of the
case. The report relates that Digicel had brought suit against
Cable & Wireless claiming that C&W had deliberately and
intentionally delayed Digicel's entry into several markets in the
Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.
"We'd expect Digicel to say they want to negotiate on the costs.
They lost the case comprehensively, and the judge has awarded
costs against them. We estimate that they have spent about œ10m
in legal costs already, so it doesn't surprise us that they want
to negotiate. We are considering our position, but as we have
been awarded costs by the court, we are very well positioned," the
report quoted Donald Austin, executive vice- president, legal and
regulatory at LIME, as saying.
Mr. Austin, the report relates, said that in considering its
position in relation to negotiating costs, C&W will take into
consideration "the rebuke of the trial judge" in handing down the
decision in the case which C&W contends was "baseless". "Any
negotiated settlement with Digicel can only be in the context of
our company being fully compensated and reimbursed for the
enormous expense brought on by a totally unnecessary and time-
wasting suit," Mr. Austin added.

AXTEL SAB: Moody's Reviews 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V.'s Ba3
corporate family rating under review for possible downgrade as a
result of weaker than expected operating and financial results
during the first quarter 2010 and the company's weakened
competitive position. These issues were affected by Moody's
action:
-- US$275 million of 7.625% Senior Unsecured Global Notes due
2017: Rating on review down
-- US$490 million of 9% Senior Unsecured Global Notes due 2019:
Rating on review down
During the first quarter 2010, Axtel reported weaknesses across
all of its businesses including the traditionally positive
segments like data services and integrated telecommunications
services.
During the review period, Moody's will focus on Axtel's ability to
reverse its declining trend and grow revenues and bring EBITDA
margin back to historical levels such that growth capex can be
financed with internally generated cash. Moody's will also
analyze the extent to which persistent negative free cash flow
could place pressure on the company's liquidity position and the
degree to which the interconnection issues with incumbent Telmex
could jeopardize Axtel's competitive position.
Before the action, last action on Axtel's ratings was on March 11,
2010 when Moody's rated the company's US$190 million in notes due
in 2019. The new notes were an add-on to the US$300 million
senior unsecured notes issued in September 2009 and due in 2019.
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 about 8% revenues market share as of December 2009.
At present, Axtel serves 39 cities. During the last twelve months
ended in March 31, 2010, the company's revenues reached
US$811 million with a 38% adjusted EBITDA margin.

GMAC FINANCIERA: Moody's Reviews Ratings on Three Securities
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's de M‚xico has placed the ratings of three subordinate
certificates from three GMAC Financiera, S.A. de C.V. Mexican
mortgage-backed securitizations on review for possible downgrade:
MXMACFW07-6U Class B Certificates, rated Caa3.mx (Mexican National
Scale Rating) and Caa3 (Global Scale, Local Currency); MXMACFW07-
4U Class B Certificates, rated Caa1.mx (Mexican National Scale
Rating) and Caa1 (Global Scale, Local Currency); MXMACFW07-2U
Class B Certificates, rated Caa1.mx (Mexican National Scale
Rating) and Caa1 (Global Scale, Local Currency).
The rating actions were prompted by the weaker than expected
performance of the underlying collateral over the past year. The
last rating action on the affected certificates occurred on
April 1, 2009, when their ratings were downgraded from their
initial ratings.
The securitizations are backed by collateral from various
originators including Hipotecaria Su Casita S.A. de C.V.,
Hipotecaria Cr‚dito y Casa S.A. de C.V. and Cr‚dito Inmobiliario
S.A. de C.V. The pools consist of first-lien, fixed-rate,
inflation-indexed (UDI-denominated) mortgages granted primarily to
low-income borrowers in Mexico.
As of March 31, 2010, delinquencies greater than 90 days
(including real estate owned, or REO) as a percentage of the
original pool balance were: MXMACFW07-6U (29.6% after 19 months of
seasoning), MXMACFW07-4U (22.7% after 33 months of seasoning), and
MXMACFW 07-2U (20.6% after 37 months of seasoning).
During the review period, Moody's will focus on the trends related
to performance, REOs, and severity of loss for sold REOs in order
to refine the recovery rate assumptions on the certificates.

HIPOTECARIA SU: S&P Downgrades Ratings on 17 Mexican RMBS Tranches
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on 17
Mexican residential mortgage-backed securities tranches from
transactions originated and serviced by Hipotecaria Su Casita S.A.
de C.V. SOFOM E.N.R. and lowered its underlying ratings on three
of those tranches. At the same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on
10 Mexican RMBS tranches.
The lowered ratings reflect the sustained deterioration of the
related transactions' credit enhancement, particularly during the
past 12 months, due to rising delinquencies and defaults. S&P
expects these transactions' performance to continue deteriorating
due to the effects the global economic crisis had on the Mexican
economy, such as increasing unemployment rates and shrinking
disposable household incomes. Although the Mexican economy has
started to recover, the recovery is unequal among different
economic sectors; recovery in employment rates and disposable
income may lag for some time.
The 'BB+' global scale rating and the 'mxA' Mexican national scale
rating on Hipotecaria Su Casita - Bursatilizaciones de Hipotecas
Residenciales III's series BRHCCB 07U and BRHCCB 07-2U
certificates are based on the full financial guarantee insurance
policy provided by MBIA Mexico S.A. de C.V. (mxA/Negative CaVal
(Mexico) national scale rating and BB+/Negative/-- insurer
financial strength rating). The 'BB+' global scale rating on
Hipotecaria Su Casita - Residential Mortgage Backed Notes' class A
cross-border notes is based on the full financial guarantee
insurance policy provided by MBIA Insurance Corp. (BB+/Negative/--
insurer financial strength rating). Under S&P's criteria, the
issue rating on an insured bond reflects the higher of the rating
on the bond insurer (monoline) or the SPUR on the security.
S&P's affirmed ratings reflect the related transactions'
sufficient credit enhancement levels, which continued to support
the assigned ratings on the tranches under observed and projected
performance scenarios. It is important to note, however, that
further severe weakening beyond S&P's projections would warrant a
new review of the transactions.
S&P estimated the transactions' delinquency, default, and current
credit enhancement levels according to S&P's methodology and
assumptions. S&P analyzed the transactions using LEVELS Mexico to
determine their updated foreclosure frequency and loss severity
levels. S&P then used its Mexican RMBS cash flow model to
determine each transaction's new rating based on the transaction's
financial position, projected performance, and structure. S&P
modeled each transaction's expected recovery from asset
liquidation consistent with LEVELS Mexico output and current
methodology and assumptions.
Su Casita has been restructuring the defaulted loans underlying
some of its transactions, and the restructured loans appear to be
benefiting the related transactions' financial position and cash
flow. S&P will continue to closely monitor the performance of the
restructured loans for recidivism, which could result in higher
foreclosures and loss severities.
As S&P had noted in its Dec. 22, 2009, Mexican RMBS Index, S&P
anticipate rating actions on some of the weaker Mexican RMBS
transactions, particularly those that have low levels of current
credit protection due to high defaults and low excess spread.

CL FINANCIAL: Firm's Collapse to Affect Caribbean Region
--------------------------------------------------------
According to Curtis Rampersad at the Trinidad Express, a report by
the International Monetary Fund said that the collapse last year
of CL Financial Limited will continue to challenge the recovery of
smaller Caribbean islands.
According to the Express, in its Regional Economic Outlook-
Western Hemisphere report IMF said: 'The January 2009 collapse of
the Trinidad and Tobago-based CL Financial Group sent shock waves
throughout the Caribbean that are continuing to reverberate.' The
Express relates that IMF said low debt and high reserves permitted
Trinidad and Tobago to bail out three domestic subsidiaries at a
cost of US$850 million (about 3.8% of GDP). 'However, higher
exposure combined with high debt levels in several countries in
the rest of the Caribbean pose significant challenges in dealing
with the problems created by the group's insurance subsidiaries,'
the IMF report stated, the Express says.
The IMF report, the Express notes, said that economic recovery in
Latin America and the Caribbean was advancing faster than
anticipated but at different speeds across countries. The Express
relates that in countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname and
Venezuela -which are classified as commodity-exporting countries-
a key challenge will be to break from past patterns of government
rising along with commodity export prices; while in tourism-
dependent countries like Barbados, Jamaica, St Lucia and Antigua
and Barbuda, the policy focus should be on easing hardships on the
poor.
About CL Financial
CL Financial Limited is the largest privately held conglomerate in
Trinidad and Tobago and one of the largest privately held
corporations in the entire Caribbean. Founded as an insurance
company, Colonial Life Insurance Company (CLICO) by Cyril Duprey,
it was expanded into a diversified company by his nephew, Lawrence
Duprey. CL Financial is now one of the largest local
conglomerates in the region, encompassing over 65 companies in 32
countries worldwide with total assets standing at roughly US$100
billion.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Feb. 20, 2009, the Trinidad and Tobago Express said Central Bank
Governor Ewart Williams disclosed that an examination of insurance
company CLICO, dissolved finance house CLICO Investment Bank and
other CL Financial companies showed a deficit between US$6
billion and US$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.

* VENEZUELA: IDB OKs US$140MM Loan to Improve Solid Waste Mngt
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will improve its management
of municipal solid waste at the national level with a program
partially funded with a US$140 million loan from the Inter-
American Development Bank.
The project will seek to reduce and prevent the environmental and
health impacts of the improper management of waste by
strengthening institutions involved in providing these services.
It will finance the training of technical personnel in these
institutions and the construction of basic infrastructure for the
transfer and disposal of municipal solid waste, in order to
replace existing open-air dumps, among other activities.
The implementation of the project is expected to ensure that in
five years about 1100 tons of solid waste per day that are now
disposed in open dumps will instead be deposited in sanitary
landfills with environmental safeguards that will be built with
funds from the program.
The project is also expected to proportion of that solid waste
that will be separated for recycling purposes will increase to at
least 20% by the conclusion of the project.
The project plans to finance an estimated 5 to 8 sub-projects from
a total of 25 already identified by the Ministry of the Popular
Power for the Environment as part of an investment program created
to meet the increasing demands of the sector.
The IDB loan has a 25-year term including a grace period of five
years, and a variable interest rate based on the Libor. Venezuela
will provide $60 million in local counterpart funds.

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

* LATAM: Experiences Swift but Uneven Economic Rebound, IMF Says
----------------------------------------------------------------
The recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean is advancing
faster than anticipated but at different speeds across countries,
the International Monetary Fund said in its latest Regional
Economic Outlook - Western Hemisphere report, which was launched
today in Montevideo, Uruguay. According to the report, growth
continues to gather momentum in the region, driven primarily by a
strong rebound in private consumption and improved external
conditions. For 2010, regional GDP is expected to grow by 4%,
after contracting by 1.8% in 2009. The report sees however marked
differences in the outlook across countries.
"Overall, we expect a good performance for the LAC economies in
2010," said Nicolas Eyzaguirre, Director of the IMF's Western
Hemisphere Department. "But within that regional picture,
countries with strong ties to global financial markets are likely
to stage a more vigorous recovery, helped by their access to ample
external financing and by strong prices for their commodity
exports. On the other hand, some of the smaller economies will
experience more sluggish growth, and some of those will even
contract. Accordingly, policy approaches will have to vary
considerably to ensure a sustainable recovery across countries."
For the purpose of analyzing the regional outlook, the report
divides LAC countries into four groups: 1) countries that are
exporters of commodities and have full access to global financial
markets (including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru); 2)
other commodity exporters; 3) commodity importers that rely
heavily on foreign tourism (mainly Caribbean countries); and, 4)
other commodity importing countries (including many in Central
America that rely on remittances from workers abroad).
For the first group of countries, the challenge is how to best
manage the upswing in the business cycle amid very favorable
external conditions. As economic activity recovers, and inflation
and output gaps close, there will be a need to phase out
macroeconomic policy stimulus, starting with the fiscal side,
especially where private demand is gaining strong momentum. For
some of the other commodity exporting countries, a key policy
challenge will be to break from past patterns of fiscal pro-
cyclicality as government revenue rises along with commodity
export prices. For many commodity importing countries, where the
room for macroeconomic stimulus has been almost depleted, the
remaining space should be prudently saved and replenished if
possible to address potential downside risk scenarios. In tourism
dependent countries where activity has been hurt by weak
employment conditions in the advanced economies, the policy focus
should be on easing hardships on the poor and maintaining
macroeconomic stability.
As for the United States and Canada, with recovery under way, the
near term policy focus is turning toward exit strategies.
Stimulus is appropriately being maintained to support growth. But
for the United States attention will soon need to turn to getting
fiscal imbalances under control. In particular, crafting a strong
medium-term consolidation strategy to underpin confidence in
fiscal sustainability will be essential.
On Guard Against New Booms
The report looks in depth at the challenges arising from the
return of favorable external financial conditions, analyzing how
economies in Latin America and other regions responded to similar
conditions in the past. Episodes of cheap and abundant external
financing raise the risk of a boom-bust cycle, since they can lead
to surges in domestic demand and credit, as well as asset price
bubbles and larger current account deficits.
"The arrival of easy external financial conditions is good news
overall for emerging economies," said Mr. Eyzaguirre. "But these
temporary episodes come with risks that need to be managed. It's
important not to let easy conditions trigger too-rapid growth of
demand and credit, in new booms that could end badly later."
The report concludes that averting such risks depends on policies.
"An important message of our analysis is that policies can either
mitigate or amplify the eventual risks associated with easy
external financing," said Mr. Eyzaguirre. "So the decisions taken
by policymakers right now are very important to avoiding trouble
later."
The situation calls for a set of policy responses, Mr. Eyzaguirre
said. "The priorities are to allow significant flexibility of the
exchange rate, to maintain fiscal discipline and to use fiscal
policy to lean against excessive demand growth, and to use
macroprudential policies to keep financial systems stable." If
these approaches together turn out to not be sufficient, he noted,
adding carefully designed taxes on capital inflows may help on a
temporary basis.

***********
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
