COLUMBUS INT'L: Digicel Group Welcomes Intervention by ECTEL
------------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean360.com reports that Digicel Group has welcomed the
announcement by the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications
Regulatory Authority (ECTEL) regarding the merger between Cable
and Wireless Communications (CWC) and Columbus Communications Inc.
(Columbus).
The St. Lucia-based ECTEL says the proposed agreement is a matter
of significant public interest for the region deserving of
rigorous regulatory attention and diligent review, according to
Caribbean360.com.
"We very much welcome this intervention by ECTEL and its
expression of support for a rigorous regulatory examination of the
proposed acquisition," said Digicel Group Chief Executive Officer
Colm Delves, notes the report.
"Digicel was taken aback by the dismissive position of
CWC/Columbus that the Governments of the ECTEL Member States and
the established Regulatory Authorities in those countries were
essentially powerless and had no right to oversee the proposed
merger," the report quoted Mr. Delves as saying.
In a statement, ECTEL announced its 'deep concern' in relation to
the proposed transaction and the fact that the proposed merger
could 'potentially result in a negative impact on competition' by
"reducing choice for consumers of both services and service
providers," the report notes.
ECTEL further noted that 'increased monopolization can erode the
gains made by liberalization' and that the proposed merger raises
significant issues in terms of potential breaches of licenses by
both CWC and Columbus which must be investigated thoroughly, the
report relays.
CWC and Columbus have already indicated that regulatory
notifications and approvals would only be required in the United
States, Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad.
But, Digicel Group said it is "heartened to note that ECTEL and
the local National Telecommunications Regulatory Commissions
(NTRCs) in each member state have signaled their determination to
stand up and be counted in the face of such dismissive statements
to the financial markets," the report discloses.
"Digicel Group confirms its willingness and desire to engage with
ECTEL and the NTRCs in each member state such that a proper
rigorous review of the telecommunications markets and the proposed
acquisition can be undertaken," the statement said, the report
relays.
"It is only on foot of such a review that any worthwhile
assessment of the proposed acquisition on competition and consumer
welfare can be conducted properly and responsibly," the statement
added.
The report notes that Mr. Delves, said the fact that CWC and
Columbus "are seeking to essentially put a gun to the heads of the
Caribbean regulatory authorities and Governments to approve their
transaction on their terms and according to their own self-
declared timetables is also a cause for alarm."
"Digicel believes that ECTEL and the NTRCs in each member state
have an absolute right, morally as well as legally, to subject the
proposed merger to a rigorous examination and approvals process in
collaboration with their respective Governments and relevant
ministerial bodies," the report quoted Mr. Delves as saying.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIA: S&P Raises CCR to 'B+'; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Bermuda-registered TV broadcaster Central European Media
Enterprises Ltd. (CME) to 'B+' from 'B-'. The outlook is stable.
At the same time, S&P raised its issue rating on the EUR240
million senior secured notes due 2017 issued by CME's subsidiary
CET 21 spol.s.r.o. (CET21) to 'B+' from 'B-'. Once the notes are
repaid on or shortly after Dec. 14, 2014, S&P will withdraw the
issue rating following the notes' redemption and cancellation.
S&P's upgrade of CME follows the recent announcement that its key
shareholder, U.S.-based diversified media and entertainment
company Time Warner, provides guarantees and a commitment letter
to help CME refinance much of its outstanding public debt. Time
Warner currently has an approximately 68% conomic interest (an
approximately 49% voting stake) in CME, but it also owns options
and warrants that, although currently not exercisable, could raise
its economic interest in CME to 75%.
CME's announcement disclosed that Time Warner is guaranteeing a
new EUR250.8 million bank facility, which CME will use to redeem
and fully discharge its 9.0% senior notes due 2017. In addition,
Time Warner has provided a commitment letter to help CME refinance
its 5.0% senior secured convertible notes due 2015 ($261 million
outstanding). This commitment takes the form of either a
guarantee on an external bank facility or direct financing from
Time Warner (similar to the existing term loan that Time Warner
provides to CME).
S&P now considers CME to be "strategically important" to Time
Warner, under its group methodology analysis. This is because,
pro forma for the two transactions, Time Warner now guarantees,
owns, or has committed to refinance substantially all of CME's
public debt. S&P believes that the CME investment is an important
part of Time Warner's international growth strategy. Time Warner
has historically stressed that, with the maturation of the U.S.
domestic cable television market, cable network segment growth
would increasingly come from its international operations and
investments. With more than $1.8 billion in total accumulated
equity and debt investments and debt guarantees since 2009, pro
forma for the announced transactions, the CME investment is Time
Warner's single largest international television network
investment.
S&P continues to assess CME's stand-alone credit profile (SACP) at
'ccc+' because S&P expects materially negative free operating cash
flow (FOCF) generation in 2014. This underpins S&P's forecast
that CME's leverage will remain elevated at more than 10x Standard
& Poor's-adjusted debt to EBITDA over the next two years. S&P
considers this level of leverage unsustainable over the long term
on a stand-alone basis.
S&P considers that the company's liquidity position remains "less
than adequate." CME and Time Warner have mitigated the pressure
from the upcoming maturity of the $261 million of convertible
notes due in Nov. 2015 as part of the announced transaction. At
the same time, the negative cash flow, which S&P anticipates CME
will generate over the 12 months to Sept. 2015, could limit the
sources and uses cover ratio to less than 1.2x.
In S&P's base case, it assumes:
-- Approximately 3% growth of TV advertising in CME's markets
in 2014.
-- About 3% reported revenue growth in 2014-2015, mainly
supported by 5% revenue growth in the Czech Republic. S&P
expects the company to be able to restore its relationship
with big advertisers on the back of its new sales policy.
S&P also anticipates carriage fees will contribute to
revenue growth.
-- EBITDA of up to $85 million in 2014, corresponding to 11%
EBITDA margin, as a result of top-line growth and the $30
million cost savings achieved following implementation of
the 2013 restructuring plan.
-- Exceptionally high working capital needs of about $80
million in 2014. This is because the company had to
normalize payment terms for its programming obligations that
it has stretched over the past few years to preserve
liquidity sources.
-- No acquisition activity or shareholder remuneration.
Based on these assumptions, S&P arrives at these credit measures:
-- Persistently high Standard & Poor's-adjusted leverage at
more than 12x, and EBITDA interest coverage at about 1x in
2014. Negative FOCF of about $90 million-$100 million in
2014.
S&P assess CME's business risk profile as "weak" and its financial
risk profile as "highly leveraged." Together, these assessments
lead to a split anchor of 'b' or 'b-' for CME.
S&P chose the 'b-' anchor to reflect the company's persistently
high leverage and track record of negative cash flow. The anchor
is S&P's starting point in assigning an issuer credit rating to a
company under its corporate criteria. S&P subtracts one notch
from the anchor because of its negative view of the company's
capital structure, resulting in a SACP of 'ccc+'.
The one-notch downward adjustment reflects S&P's view of CME's
unsustainable capital structure and the currency risk associated
with the debt. CME's revenues are generated in local currencies
and their fluctuations might have an impact on debt and credit
metrics, since CME's debt is denominated in euro and U.S. dollar,
and is not hedged for principal.
The rating is three notches higher than the SACP, based on S&P's
group rating methodology. S&P assess CME as a "strategically
important" subsidiary for the U.S.-based entertainment
conglomerate, Time Warner, based on our view that CME is part of
the group's long-term strategy, and is therefore unlikely to be
sold.
The stable outlook reflects S&P's belief that CME will remain an
important part of Time Warner's international growth strategy over
the next 12 months. Likewise, it reflects S&P's expectation that
CME will be able to maintain its credit quality in the mildly
improving operating environment that S&P anticipates in the near
term.
The stable outlook n CME mirrors that on its key shareholder, Time
Warner. As long as CME remains strategically important to Time
Warner, S&P considers EBITDA-to-interest cover of close to 1x as
commensurate with the 'B+' rating on CME.
S&P could lower the corporate credit rating on CME if it considers
the company's strategically important status to Time Warner to
have weakened. Similarly, S&P could lower the rating if it
perceived a faster-than-anticipated deterioration in CME's
liquidity over the coming months, mainly resulting from higher-
than-expected cash burn. Finally, S&P could lower its rating on
CME if it was to lower its rating on Time Warner.
S&P is unlikely to raise the corporate credit rating on CME over
the next 12 months because this would primarily be contingent on a
similar action on Time Warner or result from a change in S&P's
assessment of CME's group status to a higher degree of
cohesiveness than the current "strategically important status."
Nevertheless, a positive rating action could stem from a material
improvement in advertising spending in the company's key markets,
translating into an EBITDA margin of about 20% and resulting in a
significant improvement of free cash flow generation prospects.

MENDES JUNIOR: S&P Lowers Global Scale Rating to 'B'; Outlook Neg.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its global scale rating
on Mendes Junior Trading e Engenharia S.A. (MJTE) to 'B' from 'B+'
and the national scale rating to 'brBB-' from 'brBBB-'. The
outlook remains negative.
The downgrade reflects S&P's view of higher refinancing risks due
to short-term debt concentration in the near term and the cash
flow's exposure to the backlog concentration. Prior to the
downgrade, the negative outlook reflected the company's pressured
liquidity. S&P believes the ongoing corruption investigations
involving Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and one of MJTE's
executives on allegations of overpriced contracts could further
pressure the company's refinancing strategy, preventing it from
reducing its short-term debt concentration. Although Petrobras
represented 14.6% of MJTE's current backlog, most of it is related
to Integra, MJTE's subsidiary, that was expected to only generate
dividends in 2018.
Although the company's claim recognition and short-term debt
refinancing are in line with S&P's expectation, it believes the
current investigations add risks and uncertainties to an already
tight liquidity profile.
OGX PETROLEO: Batista Insider-Trading Trial Starts in Rio
---------------------------------------------------------
Luciana Magalhaes at The Wall Street Journal reports that the
insider-trading trial of former Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista
began Nov. 18, with law officials contending it could be a step
forward in the country's efforts to protect shareholders from
abusive practices.
The entrepreneur is charged with manipulating financial markets by
not fulfilling a promise to invest as much as US$1 billion in his
failed oil company and with using privileged information to dump
shares of the company before the stock price plunged, according to
The Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ notes that the case comes as a high-profile investigation
into corruption at oil giant Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras,
adds to concerns about the effectiveness of Brazil's corporate
regulations. Several former Petrobras executives have been
arrested amid accusations of kickbacks and payments to top
politicians.
Prosecutor Jose Panoeiro said that Mr. Batista's trial is vital to
demonstrating that Brazil can protect investors from abuses, the
report relates. "It signals that we have institutions capable of
responding to a case like this, which is nothing more than a case
of fraud," Mr. Panoeiro told reporters after the hearing ended,
the report notes.
If convicted of all the crimes he is charged with, Mr. Batista
could face up to 13 years in prison, though a sentence would more
likely be less than 10 years, the judge overseeing the case said,
the report relays.
The judge is expected to question Mr. Batista directly, probably
on Dec. 17, and a verdict is expected in early 2015.
At the start of the trial, Judge Flavio Roberto de Souza turned
down a request by Mr. Batista's lawyers to carry out the
proceedings in secret, the report notes. That left Mr. Batista at
a strong disadvantage, his lawyers complained, the report relates.
"The defense is being smothered," defense lawyer Ary Bergher said
during the hearing, the report notes. Another of Mr. Batista's
lawyers, Sergio Bermudes, called the evidence produced by
prosecutors "inconsistent," the report adds.
Mr. Batista faces accusations from prosecutors in Brazil's Sao
Paulo state of other misdeeds related to the collapse of his
empire. Judge de Souza said he plans to add those charges to the
trial he is currently overseeing when he receives documentation
from Sao Paulo, the report discloses.
Judge Souza agreed with the prosecutor on the importance of the
trial, the report says.
"This is a leading case for us," Judge Souza told reporters after
the hearing, the report notes. "It's the first time that a
defendant who is so well known internationally and from such
strong companies has been seated in the defendant's chair."
Starting in 2006, Mr. Batista sold shares in six startup
commodities and infrastructure companies, including oil firm OGX
PetrOleo e Gas Participacoes, which was to be the backbone of his
empire, the report recalls.
The prospectus for OGX's 2008 US$4.1 billion public share sale,
which was the country's biggest ever at the time, said OGX owned
the rights to fields containing as many as 10.8 billion barrels of
oil, the report notes.
The company's hopes of profitably extracting that oil failed
spectacularly when many wells turned out to be dry, and in October
2013, with more than US$5 billion in debt, OGX filed Brazil's
largest bankruptcy-protection case ever, the report relates.
Mr. Batista had granted OGX a put option that would have required
him to invest an additional US$1 billion in the oil company under
certain circumstances, the report discloses. Mr. Batista's
failure to make that cash injection is one of the issues in the
trial.
But, the company that emerged from OGX's bankruptcy proceedings,
Oleo e Gas Participacoes S.A decided to release Mr. Batista from
that obligation, the report notes.
Mr. Batista, who just two years ago was listed among the world's
richest people with an estimated wealth of more than US$30
billion, says now that his debts are US$1 billion greater than his
assets, the report adds.
About OGX Petroleo
Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes
S.A., now known as Oleo e Gas, is an independent exploration and
production company with operations in Latin America.
OGX filed for bankruptcy in a business tribunal in Rio de Janeiro
on Oct. 30, 2013, case number 0377620-56.2013.8.19.0001. The
bankruptcy filing puts US$3.6 billion of dollar bonds into default
in the largest corporate debt debacle on record in Latin America.
The filing by the oil company that transformed Eike Batista into
Brazil's richest man followed a 16-month decline that wiped out
more than US$30 billion of his personal fortune.
The filing, which in Brazil is called a judicial recovery, follows
months of negotiations to restructure the dollar bonds, in which
OGX sought to convert debt to equity and secure as much as US$500
million in new funds. OGX said Oct. 29, 2013 that the talks
concluded without an agreement.
PETROLEO BRASILEIRO: Governing Party Senator Got Money
------------------------------------------------------
EFE News reports that Brazil Sen. Humberto Costa, the governing
Workers Party, or PT, leader in the Brazilian Senate and a former
health minister, was one of the beneficiaries of a scheme to
channel funds from state-controlled oil giant Petroleo Brasileiro
S.A. to politicians, press reports said Nov. 23, citing one of
the individuals charged in the case.
Mr. Costa received BRL1 million (US$396,982) for his senatorial
campaign in 2010 that came from "commissions" paid by construction
companies that signed contracts with Petrobras, the O Estado de
Sao Paulo newspaper said, according to EFE News.
Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. --
Petrobras (Brazilian Petroleum Corporation) -- explores for oil
and gas and produces, refines, purchases, and transports oil
and gas products. The Company has proved reserves of about 14.1
billion barrels of oil equivalent and operates 16 refineries, an
extensive pipeline network, and more than 8,000 gas stations.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Oct. 23, 2014, Moody's Investors Service downgraded Petrobras
S.A.'s (Petrobras)'s Preferred Shelf (Foreign Currency) rating to
(P)Ba1 from (P)Baa3.

INVERSIONES ALSACIA: Joint Plan & Outline Hearing Set for Dec. 4
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that Inversiones Alsacia SA and Express de Santiago
Uno SA, operators of the largest bus system in Santiago, Chile,
are driving toward a confirmation hearing next month at which a
judge will consider the adequacy of disclosure materials and
approval of the prepackaged Chapter 11 plan.
If approved at a hearing on Dec. 4, the companies can implement a
planned exchange offer with holders of $347.3 million in senior
secured notes, according to the report.
As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the
Debtors filed a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan that proposes to
restructure $347.3 million in senior secured notes. The Debtors
only solicited votes from the noteholders as other equity
creditors and equity holders are unimpaired under the Plan.
About Alsacia
Inversiones Alsacia, together with its affiliate, Express de
Santiago Uno S.A., are collectively the largest operator in the
Transantiago Transportation System, transporting approximately
800,000 passengers every day, throughout 35 communities in
Santiago, Chile, which accounts for more than 30% of the
passengers in Transantiago. Alsacia and Express have the right to
provide the transportation services pursuant to concession
agreements with Chile's Ministry of Transportation and
Telecommunications, which agreements expire October 2018.
Alsacia and Express belong to non-debtor Global Public Services
S.A. ("GPS Group"), an international holding company with
interests in public passenger transportation, environmental
solutions, outsourcing services and real estate development in
Chile, Colombia, Panama, Peru and the United States of America.
The GPS Group is controlled by Carlos Mario Rios Velilla and
Francisco Javier Rios Velilla and several of their affiliates.
Alsacia and Express and three affiliates sought bankruptcy
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in
Manhattan, New York (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) on Oct. 16, 2014, with a
prepackaged plan that would restructure $347.3 million in senior
secured notes but leave other creditors and the owners unimpaired.
The cases are pending before the Honorable Martin Glenn and the
Debtors have requested that their cases be jointly administered
under Case No. 14-12896.
The Debtors have tapped Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, LLP, as
bankruptcy counsel, FTI Consulting as financial advisor, and Prime
Clerk LLC as claims and balloting agent.

DOMINICAN REP: 3% Inflation for 2014 Among LatAm's Lowest
---------------------------------------------------------
Dominican Today reports that Dominican Republic Central banker
Hector Valdez Albizu affirmed that the country will close this
year with near 3 percent inflation, one of Latin America's lowest.
Mr. Albizu also affirmed that if oil prices remain low, the
country would save around US$600.0 million, leading to "a
significant improvement in the balance of payment," according to
Dominican Today.
The report relates that Mr. Albizu said the situation will help
the country's international currency reserve to deal with the cost
of electricity and other government projects.
"That means that it will be easier for the Dominican Republic to
pay the oil bill," said Mr. Albizu, after a meeting with the
Chamber of Deputies Finance Committee, where he requested raising
the State-owned Reservas bank's capital to RD$10.0 billion, the
report adds.
DOMINICAN REP: Credit, Debit Cards Skyrocket to 6,639,529
---------------------------------------------------------
Dominican Today reports that the people in Dominican Republic have
6,639,529 credit cards; a significant increase and indicates their
widespread use in the country.
The figure is from the First Survey of Dominican Republic's
Economic and Financial Culture 2014 released by the Central Bank.
The survey found that to June 2014 lending has jumped 31.3% and
deposits r21.3% as a percentage of GDP, considerably higher than a
decade ago, according to Dominican Today.
The report relates that the survey also found that as of September

ELEMENTIA S.A.: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating to $425MM Sr. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' issue-level
and '3' recovery ratings to Mexico-based Elementia S.A.'s
(BB+/Stable/--) $425 million 5.75% senior unsecured notes due
2024. The company will use the proceeds to partly fund the
acquisition of Lafarge's cement operations in Mexico for about
$180 million, refinance about $145 million of existing debt, and
$75 million for general corporate purposes.
Elementia and its subsidiaries jointly, severally, and
unconditionally guarantee the notes. The issue-level rating is at
the same level as the corporate credit rating, reflecting the
recovery rating of '3', which indicates S&P's expectation for
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a
payment default.
The corporate credit rating on Elementia reflects S&P's assessment
of its "fair" business risk profile and "significant" financial
risk profile. S&P is incorporating a one-notch lift to
Elementia's 'bb' anchor, as per its assessment of the company's
"strategically important" subsidiary status to Grupo Kaluz.
RECOVERY ANALYSIS
Key analytical factors:
-- The issue rating on Elementia's $425 million senior
unsecured notes due 2024 is 'BB+'. The recovery rating is
'3', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%)
recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment default.
-- S&P's simulated default scenario assumes a payment default
in 2018, due to a sustained economic downturn in Mexico that
would translate into a reduced demand and pricing pressure
which in turn would result in a 46% decline in EBITDA.
-- S&P valued the company on a going-concern basis, as it
believes that under a default scenario, the company would
continue to have a viable business model given its
diversified product portfolio. Other key default
assumptions include the factoring credit facilities for up
to $125 million at default. In an event of default, the
senior unsecured notes would rank pari-passu in right and
order of payment with all the existing debt instruments in
Elementia's current capital structure given that the
guarantee provided by Elementia and its susbsidiary would
eliminate any structural subordination.
-- To value the company S&P used a 4.0x stressed multiple that
it applied to its projected emergence-level EBITDA, and it
estimates a gross stressed enterprise value of about $107
million at the point of default.
Simulated default and valuation assumptions
-- Simulated year of default: 2018
-- EBITDA at emergence: $107 million
-- Implied EBITDA Multiple: 4.0x
-- Jurisdiction: Mexico
Simplified Waterfall
-- Gross enterprise value at default: $428 million
-- Administrative costs: $30 million
-- Net enterprise value: $398 million
-- Total claims ranking pari-passu with senior unsecured notes:
$654 million
-- Senior unsecured notes recovery expectations: 50%-70%
Note: All debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest.

MEXICO: GDP Growth Misses Analyst Estimates as Pickup Stalls
------------------------------------------------------------
Brendan Case and Eric Martin at Bloomberg News report that
Mexico's economy expanded less than analysts estimated for the
eighth time in 10 quarters as a rebound in growth stalled in
September on weak domestic demand.
Gross domestic product rose 2.2 percent from a year earlier,
compared with a 1.6 percent expansion in the second quarter, the
national statistics institute said, according to Bloomberg News.
The median estimate of 24 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for
growth of 2.3 percent. The IGAE indicator, a proxy for GDP that
was also reported, fell 0.1 percent from a month earlier in
September, the second straight decline, Bloomberg News notes.
Banco de Mexico, led by Governor Agustin Carstens, cut its growth
forecast range last week, saying indicators of domestic demand
such as consumer confidence remain weak even as exports have
picked up, Bloomberg News notes. The economy is struggling to
rebound from 1.4 percent growth last year, the slowest expansion
since the 2009 recession, Bloomberg News discloses.
"The economy has no momentum going into the fourth quarter,"
Carlos Capistran, the chief Mexico economist for Bank of America
Corp. in Mexico City, said in an e-mailed response to questions,
Bloomberg News relays. "Services and industry remain weak," Mr.
Capistran added.
Bloomberg News notes that the central bank said the Mexican
economy will expand 2 percent to 2.5 percent this year, compared
with the previous forecast of 2 percent to 2.8 percent. The
government expects growth of 2.7 percent, after reducing its
estimate in May from 3.9 percent, Bloomberg News relates.
Moderate Pace
Mexico is showing "a continuation in the economic recovery, but at
a more moderate pace than we saw in the previous quarter," Mr.
Carstens said at an event in Mexico City on Nov. 19, Bloomberg
News relays. "Exports have been behaving better, so I think in
this sense it's been internal factors that have limited more
vigorous acceleration in our economic growth," Mr. Carstens added.
The U.S., the buyer of about 80 percent of Mexico's exports, grew
at a 3.5 percent annualized rate from July through September,
continuing a rebound from the first quarter when it shrank 2.1
percent as harsh winter weather chilled demand, notes the report.
Wal-Mart de Mexico SAB was one of the companies affected by
Mexico's economic weakness in the third quarter, with net income
falling 5 percent, trailing analysts' estimates for a fourth
straight quarter, Bloomberg News notes.
"The consumer in Mexico remains challenged," Scot Rank, the
company's chief executive officer who plans to leave his post at
the beginning of 2015, said on an Oct. 17 conference call with
analysts, Bloomberg News adds.

PARAGUAY: To Get US$94.7MM IDB Loan to Support Soybean Industry
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) signed a US$94.7 million
loan to support the industrialization of Paraguay's soybean
complex through financing of CAIASA, a new soybean crushing plant,
which will be the largest in country.
Currently, Paraguay is the sixth largest producer of soybeans in
the world, with production representing approximately 42 percent
of the country's exports. Traditionally, Paraguay has exported
its raw soybeans to Argentina for crushing, thereby foregoing the
production of higher-value soybean by-products such as soybean
meal, oil and hulls.
Caiasa will industrialize raw material (soybeans) currently
exported for crushing; increase the value added of the soybean and
the country's crushing capacity by approximately 40 percent;
create direct and indirect jobs, and reduce CO2 emissions by
96,567 tons annually through the use of a boiler fed by biomass to
produce thermo power.
The adoption of state-of-the-art technology will improve the
project's energy efficiency, reliability and product quality,
while mitigating environmental and social impacts according to
international best practice.
Soybean production in Paraguay has been steadily growing for the
last decade. The crop is now the country's largest in terms of
export value, followed by meat products and corn. Through CAIASA,
Paraguay will be able to capture more value from the soybean
production chain, export a higher-value product and capture the
associated higher revenues and support the competitiveness of the
country's agribusiness sector.
The IDB's participation allowed the project to obtain long-term
financing with a tenor and a grace period not available from
commercial financing sources and helped to attract a co-lender,
the OPEC Fund for International Development, which is providing a
US$15 million loan.
The project is aligned with the Bank's Country Strategy with
Paraguay, which calls for support to the competitiveness of the
agribusiness sector.

ST. VINCENT & GRENADINES: Moody's Cuts Gov't. Bond Rating to B3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded St. Vincent and the
Grenadines' government bond ratings to B3 from B2 and changed the
outlook to negative from stable. The sovereign's short-term
foreign-currency and local-currency ratings are affirmed at Not
Prime (NP).
The key drivers of the rating action are the following:
1) External vulnerabilities have increased markedly following a
strong weather-related shock in December 2013.
2) The fiscal deterioration from 2013 is set to continue in 2014,
leading to weaker public debt ratios and substantial downside
risks to debt sustainability.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines' long-term local-currency country
risk ceilings, foreign currency bond ceiling, and foreign-currency
bank deposit ceilings remain unchanged at Ba3. The short-term
foreign currency bond and deposit ceilings remain at NP. These
ceilings reflect a range of undiversifiable risks to which issuers
in any jurisdiction are exposed, including economic, legal and
political risks. These ceilings act as a cap on ratings that can
be assigned to the foreign and local-currency obligations of
entities domiciled in the country.
Ratings Rationale
The principal drivers of Moody's decision to downgrade St.
Vincent's sovereign rating are the marked increase in external
vulnerability and deterioration in external finances. Following
the global economic crisis, St. Vincent's sluggish economic
recovery was derailed by a strong weather-related shock in
December 2013. The country suffered massive damage to
infrastructure, housing, and agriculture as a result of severe
floods. Tourism activity in 2013 contracted by 3.5%, contributing
to a deterioration in already-weak external finances. The current
account deficit reached just under 30% of GDP by the end of 2013.
For 2014, Moody's forecasts that a further weakening of tourism
activity, along with increased imports of construction materials
related to the reconstruction effort, are likely to more than
offset the respite brought about by lower import prices on fuel
and other commodities, pushing the current account deficit to
nearly 34% of GDP by the end of the year.
As a result, external finances had come under severe stress by
mid-2014, prompting the authorities to request emergency
assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In early
August, the IMF approved the disbursement of approximately $6.4
million (0.9% of GDP) to St. Vincent through its Rapid Credit
Facility (RCF) and Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI). Although the
emergency funding alleviates the immediate pressure on St.
Vincent's external accounts, the country's vulnerability to
exogenous shocks remains elevated, and downside risks to balance
of payments sustainability remain, stemming from uncertain tourism
prospects.
The second driver of the rating action is the continued
deterioration in government finances and substantial downside
risks to debt sustainability. A widening of the fiscal deficit in
2013 to 6.4% of GDP from 2.1% the previous year led to an increase
in debt to 63.1% of GDP from a low of 41.5% in 2007. The
authorities announced their intention of further boosting capital
spending in 2014 in order to repair damaged infrastructure and
continue building climate resistance. The budget speech in January
envisioned a widening of the fiscal imbalance to around 9.5% of
GDP, which Moody's estimates would push debt ratios slightly above
70% of GDP.
Stabilizing debt ratios at under 71% of GDP and then reversing
negative debt dynamics would require the effective execution of
the authorities' plans. Moody's believes there are substantial
downside risks to the fiscal outlook and debt sustainability;
these doubts underpin the negative outlook on the B3 rating. Slow
disbursement of grants and financing could prolong reconstruction
projects and delay the projected recovery in tourism revenues.
Such a recovery depends on critical infrastructure being fully
repaired, and importantly, the new airport being completed.
Further downside risks that support the negative outlook on the
sovereign's rating relate to the possibility that the economy may
not respond to the planned fiscal stimulus measures, suggesting
that debt sustainability may also be jeopardized by the slower
recovery.
What Could Move The Rating Up/Down
Moody's sees limited potential for upward rating changes in the
immediate future. Faster growth driven by the completion of Argyle
airport and the expected associated increase in FDI in the tourism
sector would be credit positive and supportive of the rating. A
significant strengthening of the government's balance sheet
through a marked reduction in debt metrics or diversification and
increase of funding sources would place upward pressure on the
sovereign's rating. A significant reduction in external
vulnerabilities would also create upward pressure.
Conversely, a further deterioration of the public sector balance
sheet, the assumption of contingent liabilities, or increased
commercial borrowing to finance potential cost-overruns related to
the Argyle airport would be credit-negative. Downward pressure on
the rating will also arise if access to grants and concessional
finance were to deteriorate or if a large external shock were to
jeopardize balance of payments sustainability.
GDP per capita (PPP basis, US$): 10,560 (2013 Actual) (also known
as Per Capita Income)

Inflation Rate (CPI, % change Dec/Dec): 0.2% (2013 Actual)
Gen. Gov. Financial Balance/GDP: -6.3% (2013 Actual) (also known
as Fiscal Balance)
Current Account Balance/GDP: -29.6% (2013 Actual) (also known as
External Balance)
External debt/GDP: 49.8% (2013 Actual)
Level of economic development: Low level of economic resilience
Default history: No default events (on bonds or loans) have been
recorded since 1983.
On 20 November 2014, a rating committee was called to discuss the
rating of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Government of. The
main points raised during the discussion were: The issuer's fiscal
or financial strength, including its debt profile, has materially
decreased. The issuer has become increasingly susceptible to event
risks.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Sovereign Bond
Ratings published in September 2013.
The weighting of all rating factors is described in the
methodology used in this rating action, if applicable.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Central Bank to Supervise Credit Unions
----------------------------------------------------------
Andre Bagoo at Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that the
Trinidad and Tobago Central Bank is to take over control of the
supervision of credit unions according to the provisions of new
legislation tabled in Parliament last week.
The new Credit Unions Bill 2014 was tabled in the Senate,
alongside new legislation to amend the Co-operative Societies Act.
According to an explanatory note to the Credit Union Bill 2014,
it, "seeks to regulate the financial activities of credit unions
and of secondary bodies carrying on the business of a credit union
by, inter alia, removing credit unions from the portfolio of the
Commissioner for Co-operative Development and placing them under
the purview of the Central Bank, and to provide for other related
matters," the report discloses.
The Commissioner for Cooperative Development post will remain in
place but will be modified and placed within the Central Bank
framework, the report relays.
Trinidad and Tobago Newsday says that the system of regulation
involving a Commissioner for Co-operatives was subject to
criticism in the report of the Sir Anthony Colman Inquiry into the
collapse of the Hindu Credit Union (HCU) in July.
The need to revise the credit union sector's regulation was
announced since December 1996. At one stage the sector's
regulation shifted to the Ministry of Finance but that move was
apparently abandoned, the report notes. The current bills come
after a series of consultative process, with Minister of Finance
stating in September that they had been delayed at the request of
credit union stakeholders, the report relates.
The Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Bill 2014, proposes to
modify the current provisions alongside the new bill.
It also contains a clause, which proposes to make criminal
prosecutions in relation to offences easier by extending the
jurisdiction of the courts and the statue of limitation, the
report notes.
A note to the bill states, "Clause 37 would extend the
jurisdiction of the Court to offences committed by an entity in
any place at which it has a place of business, and by an
individual in any place at which he is for the time being
located," the report says.
The note continues, "The clause would also extend the period
within which an offence triable by a Magistrate's Court in
Trinidad and Tobago may be tried, to within ten years after the
commission of the offence or within eighteen months after the date
on which evidence sufficient in the opinion of the Bank to justify
the institution of summary proceedings comes to its knowledge,"
the report discloses.
The Colman Inquiry found violations of rules and practices at the
HCU and also failings by the regulators in the Office of
Commissioner for Cooperative Development, the report relays. It
was recommended that the Office of the Director of Public
Prosecutions test the sustainability of criminal proceedings
against one regulator, Keith Maharaj, the report adds.

***********
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.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
