LIAT: Chairman Backs Plans to Cut High Operating Costs
------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean360.com reports that chairman of the shareholder
governments of the financially troubled regional airline, LIAT,
operating as Leeward Islands Air Transport, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves
says while he is unaware of the details regarding any possible
retrenchment of employees, the airline needs to deal with its high
cost of operations.
Earlier, the cash-strapped regional airline described as
"speculation" media reports that it was planning to trim its
workforce by sending home as many as 200 employees, according to
Caribbean360.com.
The report, citing The Observer newspaper in Antigua, relates that
the airline, which is owned by the governments of Antigua and
Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines,
would send home the workers as it moves to improve its financial
stability.
But, LIAT Communications Manager Desmond Brown said while the
company has taken note of the media reports "any staff cuts that
may be required in order to reflect the size of LIAT's business in
the future will only be made in consultation with staff and their
representatives, the report notes.
"This process has yet to commence and therefore any speculation
about the number of cuts remains just that-speculation," Mr. Brown
said in a brief statement, the report discloses.
The report adds that Mr. Gonsalves, who is also the Prime Minister
of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, said that he is aware of plans
to streamline the operations of the airline as to ensure "that
LIAT be placed on a sounder commercial competitive footing.
"I know that those are policy instructions to the board and to the
management. The shareholders have not been informed of the
specifics about the way in which they will carry out these
decisions for efficiency. So I can't speak specifically towards
any retrenchment," the report quoted Mr. Gonsalves as saying.
But, Mr. Gonsalves said he wanted to make it clear that LIAT has
explained on numerous occasions the need to cut the high costs of
its operations, including salary, fuel, repairs and lease
arrangements, the report relays.
Mr. Gonsalves said while the new aircraft recently acquired had
resulted in a reduction in the high maintenance costs, "we still
have maintenance cost, but not nearly to the same extent," notes
the report.
"The price of fuel has now started to fall, we don't know how long
it will stay down. But clearly there are savings to be made on
the proper utilization of human resources, and it is the business
of management to have a plan in that regards," Mr. Gonsalves
continued, the report says.
"The other matter on which we had already given instructions as
shareholders is to, as part of the drive to make the airline more
competitively viable, reduce, with a view to eliminate what you
may call the social route, the non-profitable routes. So, you are
dealing on the one side with expenditure, and you are dealing on
the other side with revenue," Mr. Gonsalves said, the report
notes.
Chairman of the Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association's (LIAL
PA) Patterson Thompson said his union is unhappy about the
dismissal of two pilots following an investigation into an
incident during the passage of Tropical Storm Gonzalo on October
13 that led to one of the airline's new aircraft being damaged,
the report says.
According to the report, Mr. Thompson said the union would be
taking further steps without elaborating.
The report further relays that Mr. Gonsalves said he had "not been
given a formal report on that, but I have, like everybody else
read it and I am sure I will be given a formal report with all the
information".

* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 10, 2014, Caribbean360.com said that Leeward Islands Air
Transport (LIAT) said it will take "decisive action" to deal with
unprofitable routes as the Antigua-based airline seeks to make its
operations financially viable.
On Sept. 23, 2013, the TCRLA, citing Trinidad and Tobago Newsday,
reported that there's much upheaval at the highest levels of LIAT
-- the Board and the Executive. Following the sudden resignation
of Chief Executive Officer Captain Ian Brunton, comes the news
from highly reliable sources that long time chairman Jean Holder
is all set to follow.
David Evans replaced Mr. Brunton as chief executive officer.

BANCO PAN: S&P Maintains BB/B Rating on CreditWatch Developing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services maintained its 'BB/B' global
scale and 'brAA-/brA-1' national scale ratings on Banco Pan S.A.
on CreditWatch with developing implications. S&P initially placed
the ratings on CreditWatch July 17, 2014. A CreditWatch
developing placement means S&P could raise, lower, or affirm the
ratings when it resolves the placement.
"The CreditWatch placement continues to reflect the similar rating
action on parent Banco BTG Pactual S.A.," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Edgard Dias. The CreditWatch placement on BTG
follows its announced plan to acquire Switzerland-based BSI S.A.
That deal is still awaiting regulatory approval.
The ratings on Banco Pan reflect its 'bb-' SACP and its
"strategically important" status to BTG, according to S&P's
criteria for rating group entities. S&P bases its view of its
strategic importance on its integration with and management from
its parent, and strong reputation links with BTG. S&P believes if
BTG receives support from the government, this would flow through
to Banco Pan.
Banco Pan is a joint venture between between BTG and Caixa
Economica Federal (BBB-/Stable/A-3), with BTG holding 51% of Banco
Pan voting shares and Caixa holding the remainder and sharing the
control of the bank.
The bank's SACP reflects S&P's assessment of its "moderate"
business position, "moderate" capital and earnings, "moderate"
risk position, "average" funding, and "adequate" liquidity.
S&P will resolve the CreditWatch placement on Banco Pan after S&P
resolves the one on BTG Pactual.
BRAZIL: Posts Record Primary Budget Deficit for 1st 10 Months
-------------------------------------------------------------
EFE News reports that Brazil Central Bank said the country
accumulated a record BRL11.6-billion (US$4.6-billion) primary
budget deficit in the first 10 months of 2014.
In October, the South American country posted a primary budget
surplus of BRL3.7 billion (nearly US$1.5 billion), the first
positive result after a five-month run of deficits, according to
EFE News.
CAMIL ALIMENTOS: S&P Affirms 'BB' CCR; Outlook Remains Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB' global scale
and 'brAA-' Brazil national scale corporate credit ratings on
Camil Alimentos S.A. The outlook remains stable. S&P don't rate
any of the company's debt.
"The rating affirmation reflects Camil's stable profitability
despite some slowdown in consumption in some of its divisions
(such as rice and canned fish in Brazil), maintaining fairly
stable margins t," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Flavia
Bedran. The higher portfolio and geographic diversification,
economies of scale in logistics and raw material sourcing, as well
as strong bargaining power with suppliers soften the potential
volatility its operations are exposed to. Camil produces the
leading brands in rice, canned fish, and sugar in Brazil and rice
in Chile, Peru and Uruguay.

PANAMA CANAL: Moody's Affirms B2 Rating on Senior Secured Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Ba2 rating assigned to
the Senior Secured Notes issued by the Panama Canal Railway
Company (PCRC) and revised the outlook to positive from stable.
The rating action affects approximately $83 million of outstanding
debt. The Senior Secured Notes had an original face value of $100
million and were issued under Rule 144A/Reg. S with a final
maturity in 2026.
Ratings Rationale
The rating action reflects the full and sustainable recovery in
container volumes handled by PCRC, lower debt levels that have led
to improved financial metrics, and adequate levels of liquidity
reserves.
After a steep 37% fall in total container volumes handled by PCRC
in 2009 due to the economic downturn, total container volumes
bounced back rapidly increasing by 69% in 2010. Since then, and
despite inherent sector volatility, container volumes have
remained consistently at levels above 350,000 and Moody's estimate
that will be in the range of 400,000 in 2014. This has led to a
sustained improvement of Debt Service Coverage Ratios from below
1.0x in 2009 to 3.3x in 2013, as measured by Moody's. PCRC has
lowered its total debt levels and currently consists primarily of
the outstanding $83 million Senior Secured Notes. As a result,
Debt to Total Capitalization ratio fell to 80.1% in 2013 from
89.1% in 2009.
The rating and outlook are supported by PCRC's liquidity, which
primarily consists of a six-month debt service reserve backed by a
$4.6 million letter of credit and a $6 million liquidity reserve
also backed by a non-recourse letter of credit.
What Could Change the Rating -- Up/Down
The rating could be upgraded if the company is able to execute
longer term, firm volume contracts that result in a sustained debt
service coverage of at least 2.5 times (by Moody's calculation),
if debt service and liquidity reserves are fully funded and
maintained, and if leverage as measured by Debt/Total
Capitalization continues below or at their current levels of 80%.
Given the positive outlook, Moody's do not expect downward
pressure on the ratings in the near to medium term. However, the
outlook could return back to stable if liquidity reserves fall
below their current levels, if PCRC's debt service coverage ratio
(by Moody's calculation) drops below 2.5 times on a sustained
basis as a result of operational problems or if there is a
sustained drop in major freight volumes, or a sharp increase in
leverage.
Panama Canal Railway Company was incorporated on October 25, 1996
in the Cayman Islands in order to undertake a concession granted
by the Government of Panama (Baa2 stable) to construct, maintain
and operate a freight and passenger rail service for an initial
period of 25 years with a renewal of another 25 years at the
option of the company. The 47-mile long railway parallels the
Panama Canal and is the shortest land bridge connecting the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The company is owned 50% by Kansas
City Southern, a publicly traded company, and 50% by Mi-Jack, a
private company that operates over 70 railroad intermodal
terminals in North America.
The principal methodology used in this ratings was Generic Project
Finance Methodology published in December 2010.

JAMAICA: No Need to Fear Flexi-Work Law, Labor Ministry Says
------------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that Jamaica's Ministry of Labor & Social
Security is seeking to assure workers that they have no reason to
fear discrimination under the Flexible Work Arrangement law.
Camille Bennett Campbell, acting Director of the Legal Services
Unit in the Ministry, said that the Act can only be implemented at
a place of business after negotiations between an employer and
employee, according to RJR News.
The report notes that Mrs. Bennett-Campbell said if an employer
tries to change a contract without the agreement of the worker,
that is a breach of the Flexible Work Arrangements Act, and is
actionable in court.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Sept. 23, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its
'B-' long-term foreign and local currency and 'B' short-term
foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings on Jamaica.
At the same time, S&P revised the outlook on the long-term
sovereign credit ratings to positive from stable. In addition,
S&P affirmed its 'B' transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment.
JAMAICA: Deposit Insurance Fund to Surpass J$12BB in 2014
---------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that the Jamaica Deposit Insurance Fund is
forecast to pass the 12 billion dollar mark this financial year.
The Annual Report of the Jamaica Deposit Insurance Corporation
(JDIC), tabled in Parliament shows the Fund ended the 2013/2014
fiscal year at J$10.3 billion, an 18.5 per cent increase over the
previous year, according to RJR News.
The report notes that the JDIC expects the Fund to reach J$12.2
billion by March next year.
The agency says the Deposit Insurance Coverage Limit, which is at
J$600,000 per depositor, covers 96.8 per cent of insurable
deposits in the banking system, the report notes. This is in line
with international benchmark standards of between 90 and 95
percent, the report relates.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Sept. 23, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its
'B-' long-term foreign and local currency and 'B' short-term
foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings on Jamaica.
At the same time, S&P revised the outlook on the long-term
sovereign credit ratings to positive from stable. In addition,
S&P affirmed its 'B' transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment.
NATIONAL COMMERCIAL: S&P Affirms 'B-' LT ICR; Outlook Positive
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised the BICRA of Jamaica to
group '9' from '10'. At the same time, S&P raised National
Commercial Bank Jamaica Ltd.'s (NCBJ) stand-alone credit profile
(SACP) to 'b+' from 'b' following the revision. S&P also affirmed
its 'B-' long-term and 'B' short-term issuer credit ratings on the
bank'. The outlook remains positive.
The ratings on NCBJ reflect its "strong" business position,
"moderate" capitaland earnings, "moderate" risk position,
"adequate" liquidity, and "average" funding (as S&P's criteria
define the terms). Although S&P has raised the bank's SACP to
'b+', the ratings on the bank are constrained by the sovereign
ratings on Jamaica (B-/Stable/B), mainly due to the bank's
sovereign exposure.
S&P's bank criteria use BICRA economic risk and industry risk
cores to determine a bank's anchor, the starting point in
assigning an issuer credit rating. The anchor for a bank
operating only in Jamaica is 'b+'.
Jamaican banks' economic risk remains extremely high, in S&P's
view. And the sovereign's debt burden, although stable, continues
to be very high. S&P expects sovereign debt to be about 134% of
GDP in 2014, and it continues to limit the country's fiscal
flexibility and economic growth. In S&P's view, there are
significant economic imbalances in Jamaica due to the persistent
current accounts deficit; even though its external liquidity and
net international reserves (NIR) have slightly improved.
Nevertheless, S&P believes Jamaica is still highly vulnerable to
external shocks. In S&P's view, credit risk is extremely high due
to the weak economy and the population's limited debt capacity due
to the low GDP per capita.
Industry risks have lessened in Jamaica, but are stillhigh, in
S&P's view. The significant exposure of the banks to a weak
sovereign, and the two debt exchange programs (NDX) in the past
four years led to an unstable market, in S&P's view. The NDX has
weakened banks' profitability, and it may push banks to take on a
more aggressive competitive stance to maintain historical
profitability levels. As part of the agreement with the
International MonetaryFund (IMF), banking regulation is slowly
improving, but still lags behind international standards. In
S&P's view, the lack of funding sources continues to be a risk for
the system. S&P believes the system is still vulnerable to
depositor confidence; however, the deposit base has demonstrated
resilience toa stressed sovereign scenario and currency
devaluation. As a result, S&P has revised its systemwide funding
score to "high risk" from "very high risk," and its industry risk
for Jamaican banks to '7' from '8'. Consequently, S&P revised
Jamaica's BICRA group score to group '9' from group '10' and
revised the anchor for countries operating in that country to 'b+'
from 'b'.

MEXICO: Sells US$2BB in 10-Year Bonds With New Default Clauses
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chelsea Naso at Law360.com reports that the Mexican government
sold US$2 billion in 10-year bonds amid strong demand, locking in
the country's lowest-ever interest rate on bonds that included new
clauses designed to smooth the default process in the aftermath of
Argentina's recent sovereign debt issues.
The bonds, which are set to mature in 2025, have an annual
interest rate of 3.6 percent and a yield-to-maturity rate of 3.678
percent, the lowest rates in Mexico's history, the government said
in a statement by the news agency. The offering saw strong
demand, drawing interest from more than 200 institutional
investors from the U.S., Europe and Asia, the statement said,
according to Law360.com.
The government plans to use the net proceeds from the offering to
refinance its debt, make principal payments and cover future
financing needs, the statement said, the report notes.
The offering marks the first sovereign issuance of debt with
collective action clauses and equal footing clauses for investors
under New York law following recommendations by the International
Capital Markets Association and the International Monetary Fund,
which were inspired by Argentina's troubled debt restructuring,
the statement said, the report discloses. The Group of 20 has
also supported the new provisions.
"With this transaction, Mexico reaffirms its leadership role in
the international financial markets, introducing a new contractual
framework for sovereign entities with the respect and acceptance
of the international financial community and at a historically low
cost," said Dr. Luis Videgaray Caso, the Secretary of Finance and
Public Credit, in a translated statement, the report relays.
The IMF in August issued revised guidelines for sovereign debt
securities in order to avoid a repeat of Argentina's long-running
fight with holdout creditors, which led to the country's second
default in 13 years, the report discloses.
The report notes that the self-regulator for the capital markets
sector released updated collective action clauses and a new
standard pari passu clause for sovereign debt contracts, saying
the overhauled rules are intended to assist future debt
restructurings.
The revised standard collective action clauses will allow for a 75
percent majority of bondholders to agree to changes in bond terms,
such as the extension of maturities or the reduction of principal,
that would be binding on all investors, the report relays. The
ICMA said the new rules will deal with the problem of holdout
minorities by including aggregation mechanisms, which will allow
for voting across several bond issues, the report says.
The updated pari passu, or equal footing, guidelines call for a
clarification of the scope of the provision and are intended to
reduce the risk that the clause will be used as a basis to disrupt
future sovereign debt restructurings, as has been done in
Argentina's dispute with holdout funds adverse to its
restructurings -- including Elliott Management Corp.-controlled
NML Capital Ltd. and affiliates of Aurelius Capital Management LP
-- which hold around $1.5 billion worth of Argentine bonds, the
report discloses.
In October, as Argentina's well-publicized battle with hedge funds
continued, the IMF, which plays a role in supervising debt between
countries and offering loans to poor countries, outlined similar
recommendations for changes to two common clauses, including the
pari passu clause, which mandates equal treatment of all
creditors, the report notes.
The Mexican government was represented in the offering by a Cleary
Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP team including partners Nicolas
Grabar and Andres de la Cruz, the report adds.

PETROTRIN: Lays Out Survival Plan
---------------------------------
Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that in the face of falling
global oil prices, which is beginning, to impact on Trinidad and
Tobago's earnings from its petroleum resources, Petroleum Company
of Trinidad and Tobago, has rolled out a plan to remain viable and
to survive in the harsh global oil industry.
In a media release, Petrotrin said it is forging ahead with
objective cost management decisions imperative to secure its
viability, according to Trinidad and Tobago Newsday. Oil prices
have plummeted by more than 30 percent since June and at US$69 per
barrel, are now at the lowest in four years, the report relates.
The report discloses that Petrotrin's operations have also been
severely impacted due to unfavorable margins. The refining margin
is based on the difference between the value of oil products sold
to our consumers and the value of the crude oil from which they
were refined, however since product prices have fallen in concert
with the fall in oil prices, the Company has realized no
improvement to its refining margins, the report relays.
The release said that due to prevailing market conditions
affecting refinery margins, Petrotrin managed to roughly break
even for the fiscal year 2012-2013 and experienced a loss for the
period 2013-2014, the report notes. The recurrent budget for the
2014-2015 period is projected at TT$3.6 billion with manpower
costs accounting for 54.5 percent of this amount, the report
relates. As such it said management strategies are being
implemented to secure viability, the report discloses.
These strategies include the revising of the company's 2014-2015
budget to take into account decreased revenue and cash flow, the
report notes. "We are examining our work practices with a view to
significantly improving efficiency and reducing overtime costs,"
the release said, the report relays.
"We are focusing on our HSE practices and Asset Integrity matters,
to address concerns related to aging infrastructure in our
operations. We are implementing strategies to reduce the cost of
imported crude. This includes entering into term contracts for
crude supply for the fiscal year 2014-2015. While we navigate the
present situation, we are simultaneously pursuing a number of
initiatives that positions us for future viability," the release
added, the report discloses.
In terms of exploration and production projects, the company said
it has completed acquisition of 540 sq km of new 3D seismic in
Trinmar and North Marine, which is expected to give rise to a host
of exploration and development opportunities, the report notes.
"We have successfully drilled a high producing appraisal well in
Southwest Soldado, S 912, expanding the field further west. We are
operating two workover rigs and are finalizing negotiations for a
drilling rig to resume drilling in our marine operations from 2015
January," the release added, the report relays.
The report notes that the company said it has completed the
Gasoline Optimization Program and all overdue turnarounds at the
Pointe-a-Pierre refinery, which it hopes will lead to benefits
from an upgraded refinery producing higher throughputs.
"The Company remains cognisant of the valuable contributions of
our employees in these difficult times as we work together to
reverse the trend of losses in our operations. The continued
efforts of our dedicated employees remain critical as together we
strive to weather the challenges in the global energy industry and
meet our obligation to the national community," said the release,
the report relays.
About Petrotrin
Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago is the major state-owned
oil company in Trinidad and Tobago. The company was established
in 1993 by the merger of Trintopec and Trintoc, two state-owned
oil companies. Petrotrin's main holdings are extensive, mature
onshore fields located across southern Trinidad. Large areas
have been leased out to small private producers who are able to
make a profit on wells that are unprofitable for Petrotrin,
giving it higher labor costs. The company operates a refinery at
Pointe-Pierre, just north of San Fernando in south Trinidad.
Most crude petroleum produced in Trinidad is exported without
being refined. The refinery depends on imported crude (mostly
from Venezuela), which is either used domestically or exported.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Aug. 8, 2013, Trinidad Express reports that production levels at
Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Petrotrin)'s Trinmar
operations in Point Fortin have been affected by industrial action
involving employees of the company's marine transport contractors.
Petrotrin stated that it was informed of what it described as a
stand-off between its marine contractors and their employees, who
cited issues, including their current rates of remuneration,
according to Trinidad Express.

URUGUAY: IDB OKs US$120M Loan for 2nd Phase of Int'l. Pos. Program
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has approved a $120
million loan to finance the second phase of Uruguay's Strategic
International Positioning Program. Its goal is to consolidate the
country's international positioning, contributing to an increase
in investments-mainly those aimed at high value-added sectors-and
exports.
This will be achieved through the strengthening of the regulatory
and institutional framework and better promotion and facilitation
of trade.
In March 2013, the IDB approved a US$550 million transaction to
finance the first phase of the program. This is now the second
part of that series of policy-based loans to support reforms with
an option for deferred withdrawal. It falls within the policy of
precautionary financing that Uruguay is carrying out.
"This program reaffirms the country's priority in deepening its
process of international integration," said Pablo Garcia, IDB
project team leader. "The Bank has been working with Uruguay on a
variety of initiatives to support that process and this program is
an integral part of it."
The specific goals are to lure investment to high value-added
sectors, improve standards for promoting and facilitating trade
and improving the country's ability to innovate and absorb
technology so as to maximize the local impact of investment.
The program will support Uruguay's efforts to consolidate a series
of wide-ranging sectorial reforms aimed at boosting policies to
attract investment.
Among other things, the program's goals include improving the
regulation of the regime to attract investments so as to
incorporate industries rich in technological content. It also
calls for agreements to avoid double taxation to better attract
investments, as well as a series of tax data exchange agreements
with an eye to making tax collection more efficient, and enhancing
the investment climate in general.
The US$120 million IDB loan is over 20 years, with the deferred
withdrawal option over a span of three years, renewable for
another three. The interest rate, pegged to the LIBOR, will be
applied only if the country uses these resources, beginning the
moment it chooses to do so.

***********
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.
