LIAT: Says Safety is Highest Priority After Taiwan Crash
--------------------------------------------------------
The Daily Observer reports that LIAT, operating as Leeward Islands
Air Transport, is assuring customers that its fleet of Avions de
Transport Regional (ATR) aircraft is still safe, in the wake of
the crash of an ATR 72-600 in Taiwan.
The assurance comes after Aviation Consultant Lesroy Browne called
for regional carriers, like LIAT, to diversify their fleet,
according to The Daily Observer. Mr. Browne said any issues in
the aircraft that would cause them to be grounded or recalled
could prove detrimental to regional travel, given the popularity
of the ATR within the Caribbean, the report notes.
However, a statement issued by LIAT said the European Aviation
Safety Authority (EASA), which functions as both the multi-
national safety and airworthiness oversight body, and the
regulator of the manufacturer of the ATR aircraft, had not yet
issued any directives for its world-wide fleet, the report relays.
The release further noted that the Eastern Caribbean Civil
Aviation Authority (ECCAA) would also act to secure the safety of
the region's travelers, the report discloses.
"LIAT and its own regulator the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation
Authority (ECCAA) are guided by any such directive (from EASA) and
LIAT would ensure our immediate compliance in the event of any
directive being issued," the release read, the report adds.
About LIAT
LIAT, operating as Leeward Islands Air Transport, is an airline
headquartered on the grounds of V. C. Bird International Airport
in Antigua. It operates high-frequency inter-island scheduled
services serving 21 destinations in the Caribbean. The airline's
main base is VC Bird International Airport, Antigua and Barbuda,
with bases at Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados and
Piarco International Airport, Trinidad and Tobago.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Dec. 2, 2014, Caribbean360.com said that chairman of the
shareholder governments of the financially troubled regional
airline, LIAT, operating as Leeward Islands Air Transport, Dr.
Ralph Gonsalves said while he is unaware of the details regarding
any possible retrenchment of employees, the airline needs to deal
with its high cost of operations.
The TCR-LA on March 10, 2014, citing Caribbean360.com, reported
that 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, David Evans
replaced Mr. Brunton as chief executive officer.

PETROLEO BRASILEIRO: Fitch Cuts IDR to 'BBB-'; Puts on Watch Neg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the foreign and local currency Issuer
Default Ratings (IDRs) and outstanding debt ratings of Petroleo
Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) to 'BBB-' from 'BBB'. Concurrently,
Fitch has placed all of Petrobras' international and national
scale ratings on Rating Watch Negative. These rating actions
affect approximately USD50 billion of issued debt, including debt
issued by PIFCO and PGF, which Petrobras unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The downgrade reflects the increased and prolonged uncertainty
regarding Petrobras' ability to estimate and record an adjustment
to its fixed assets in a timely manner, which could allow a
significant portion of Petrobras' creditors to accelerate debt
payments. Petrobras' third quarter financial statements, while
allowing it to comply with covenants, did not include any
adjustments to fixed assets. The lack of clarity prolongs the
uncertainty surrounding the company's ability to make the
necessary adjustments to comply with covenants that require it to
report audited year-end financials within 120 days of the period's
end, plus a 60-day grace period. Without audited financials, the
company lacks access to debt capital markets. The decision to
delay the recording of an impairment highlights the difficulties
of estimating the magnitude of the corruption overpayments and
fair value of fixed assets.
The rating actions also reflect the potential impact the current
corruption scandal may have on Petrobras' ability to hit Fitch's
production expectations. The corruption scandal affects the
company's effectiveness in negotiating with equipment suppliers,
as its executives exercise caution when signing or amending
contracts; the current ban on 23 business groups limits the
availability of key equipment. Both issues could hurt the timing
of the completion and delivery of floating, production, storage
and offloading (FPSO) units, which Fitch had anticipated will face
an average delivery delay of six months. Fitch will continue
monitoring the progress of the construction of Petrobras' FPSO.
The Rating Watch Negative reflects heightened risk the company's
debt could be accelerated if it is not able provide year-end
audited financial statements within the aforementioned timeframe.
Petrobras' ratings could be downgraded by more than one notch
should the company breach covenants with regards to its financial
statements and receive notification from creditors of such event.
If Petrobras publishes audited financial statements in a timely
manner so it does not to breach covenants, the Rating Watch
Negative will likely be removed and a Negative Rating Outlook
would likely be assigned due to continued uncertainty and
litigations generated by the ongoing Lava Jato corruption
investigation as well as the potential delay in delivery of
production units beyond Fitch's initial assumptions, which had led
to an expected projected output of 3.5 million boe/d by 2018.
Petrobras' 'BBB-' and 'AAA (bra)' ratings continue to reflect its
close linkage with the sovereign of Brazil due to the government's
control of the company and its strategic importance to Brazil as
its near monopoly supplier of liquid fuels. Absent implicit and
explicit government support, Petrobras' credit quality is not
commensurate with an investment grade rating. The linkage is
evidenced by the decision to maintain gasoline and diesel prices
at the pump significantly above international levels in order to
bolster Petrobras' cash flow generation. This support has also
been reflected by the government's financial support of Petrobras
through its various lending agencies. Fitch expects Petrobras to
be able to obtain financing from BNDES, as it has done so in the
past, should the company need a liquidity injection to make front
to cash flow deficit in the near term. As of December 2013,
Petrobras' debt with BNDES represented approximately 16% of its
total debt. By law, the federal government must hold at least a
majority of Petrobras' voting stock. The government currently
owns directly and indirectly 60.5% of Petrobras' voting rights and
has an overall economic stake in the company of 48.9%. Petrobras
cash position is sufficient to meet its short term funding needs.
Fitch believes the current price difference between domestic
products and international markets is unsustainable in the long
term and expects the differential to erode overtime, eliminating
temporary trading gains. As a result, growing production remains
strategic for Petrobras to have a strong balance sheet in the long
term commensurate with an investment grade rating. Petrobras
currently benefits from low international oil prices as the
company is a net importer and it has not revised downwards
domestic gasoline and diesel prices. Fitch estimates the
company's current realization price for sale of liquid fuels
ranges between USD80/boe and USD85/boe while WTI has ranged
between USD45/bbl to USD50/bbl over the past few weeks.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
The inability of Petrobras to quantify and record impairment
charges before breaching covenants could trigger a negative rating
action. As previously mentioned, the Rating Watch Negative
reflects heightened risk the company's debt could be accelerated
if it is not able to provide year-end audited financial statements
within the aforementioned timeframe. If the company provides
financial statements and avoids breaching covenants, the Rating
Watch Negative will likely be removed and a Rating Outlook of
Negative may be assigned.
A negative rating action on the sovereign to Petrobras' current
rating level will not automatically trigger an immediate downgrade
for the company. A positive rating action is highly unlikely in
the short to medium term, nevertheless, direct explicit support
from the government could help stabilize the ratings and to the
extent support is material the ratings could be equalized again in
the long term.
Fitch takes these ratings actions on Petrobras' ratings and places
on Rating Watch Negative:
-- Foreign currency IDR downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB';
-- Local currency IDR downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB';
-- National long-term rating of 'AAA (bra)' placed on Rating
Watch Negative.
Petrobras International Finance Company (PIFCO)
-- Foreign currency IDR downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB';
-- International debt issuance downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB'.
Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF)
-- Foreign currency IDR downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB';
-- International debt issuance downgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BBB'.

ECUADOR: To Get $500 Million-IDB Loan for Energy Sector Program
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ecuador is carrying out investments and reforms in its energy
sector with assistance from the Inter-American Development Bank
(IDB).
These measures seek to strengthen institutions in Ecuador's energy
sector, enhance the sustainability of its electrical grid, ease
the system's current dependence on fossil fuels, broaden rural
communities' access to energy, and move forward with the strategy
of regional electrical interconnection.
The modernization of Ecuador's electrical sub-sector will allow
for implementation of its national initiative to substitute the
use of liquefied gas from oil with electricity, thereby cutting
consumption of fossil fuels in the residential sector.
These changes will be financed with a policy-based programmatic
loan (PBP) totaling $500 million for Ecuador, which was approved
on February 4 by the IDB's Board of Executive Directors. The PBP
is a quick-disbursement tool that will provide the government of
Ecuador with resources to finance its high-priority programs.
This first transaction will help maintain liquidity and will
support the institutional changes needed to maximize the positive
impact of these energy sector investments.
The IDB loan is over 20 years, with a grace period of 12 years,
and a variable interest rate linked to the LIBOR.

DIGICEL GROUP: LIME to Pay Millions for Wrongly Withholding Money
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean360.com, citing Jamaica Gleaner, reports that
telecommunication company LIME is to pay more than J$1.5 billion
(One Jamaica dollar =US$0.0087 cents) to Digicel (Jamaica) Limited
for wrongly withholding money due for calls from LIME's fixed-line
customers to Digicel mobile phones.
It said the payment is as a result of two lawsuits filed by
Digicel in 2007 and 2009, against Lime, whose parent company is
the British telecommunication giant, Cable & Wireless over its
refusal to hand over the funds, according to Caribbean360.com.
The report notes that LIME had denied that it was liable to refund
Digicel and filed a counterclaim for more than J$600 million.
Justice Bryan Sykes, who heard the matters and in July last year
ruled largely in favour of Digicel, said that LIME had wrongly
deducted hundreds of millions of dollars from money collected from
its fixed-line customers, the report notes.
The report adds that Justice Sykes had ordered the registrar of
the Supreme Court to carry out a "taking of accounts" to assess
the sum that should be refunded to Digicel. Justice Sykes also
dismissed LIME's counterclaim, the report relays.
On November 24, last year, the registrar determined that J$1.3
billion was owing in one of the actions and J$179.7 million in the
other, the report notes. The amount carried an interest of almost
J$$250,000 daily from the date of the judgment in July last year,
the report discloses.
The report notes that the newspaper said the two companies had
appealed Justice Sykes' ruling but the appeals were recently
withdrawn.
The judge ordered that Digicel was entitled to interest at the
Bank of Nova Scotia's base lending rate plus interest of two per
cent, the report relays. LIME was ordered to pay 70 per cent of
Digicel's legal costs, the Jamaica Gleaner reported, the report
adds.
Headquartered in Jamaica, Digicel Group Limited provides mobile
telecommunications services in the Caribbean and the Central
American markets. The company's services include rollover
minutes, GPRS data services, prepaid roaming, SMS to e-mail, and
multimedia messaging, as well as broadband.

CEMEX SAB: Turns to Asset Sales to Reduce Debt
----------------------------------------------
Amy Guthrie at The Wall Street Journal reports that CEMEX, S.A.B.
de C.V. said it aims to sell between US$1 billion and US$1.5
billion in assets over the next 12 to 18 months to chip away at
its heavy debt burden and related financial expenses.
Recovering the company's investment grade capital structure is a
top priority for Cemex, Chief Executive Fernando Gonzalez said on
a conference call with analysts, according to The Wall Street
Journal. In prior years the company has averaged annual
divestitures of US$200 million, Mr. Gonzalez added.
The report notes that Cemex maintains high levels of debt that
were taken on for acquisitions made before the global financial
downturn of 2008. Last year, the company lowered its total debt
to $16.3 billion from $17.5 billion at the end of 2013, the report
relates.
Depending on the pace of asset sales, Cemex expects to reduce its
debt load by at least another $500 million this year, the report
relays. Some proceeds may also be channeled into investment
projects, Mr. Gonzalez said, the report notes.
The Monterrey-based company plans to reduce costs and expenses by
$300 million this year, while it anticipates total capital
expenditures of $800 million, the majority of which will go toward
maintenance, the report discloses.
The company has roughly $1.6 billion in U.S. dollar equivalent
debt that is callable in 2015, and would like to reduce its
interest expenses by executing those call dates, explained
investor relations chief Maher Al-Haffar, the report relays.
Currently Cemex has $3 billion in notes with coupons higher than
9%, Mr. Al-Haffar added, notes the report. The company will
explore all viable options to negotiate better rates and to extend
maturities, he said, in an effort to reduce interest expenses and
risk.
Simultaneously, the operating environment in key markets such as
Mexico and the U.S. continue to improve for the company, the
report relates. The company expects cement volume sales to grow
in the mid-single-digits in both of those countries this year, and
has already implemented price increases in U.S. states such as
Florida, notes the report.
Adjusting for currency fluctuations, the company reported that
consolidated net sales increased 6% to $15.7 billion last year
across all markets, while operating earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, a measure of
operating cash flow, rose 6% to $2.7 billion, the report
discloses.
The company narrowed its net loss in 2014 for a third consecutive
year, reporting a controlling interest net loss of $507 million,
the report adds.

AES PUERTO RICO: Fitch Keeps CC Rating on $161M Bond on Watch Neg.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has maintained the Rating Watch Negative on the
following AES Puerto Rico L.P. (AES PR) securities issued through
Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational, Medical &
Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority:
-- $161.87 million cogeneration facility revenue bonds, series
A (tax-exempt bonds) due June 2026 at 'CC';
-- $33.1 million cogeneration facility revenue bonds, series B
(taxable bonds) due June 2022 at 'CC'.
The 'CC' rating reflects Fitch's view of the credit quality of
Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA). PREPA is the
revenue counterparty under AES PR's power purchase agreement.
PREPA's 'CC' rating with a Rating Watch Negative constrains the
rating of AES PR.
PUERTO RICO: Judge Strikes Down Debt Restructuring Law
------------------------------------------------------
Michael Corkery, writing for The New York Times' DealBook,
reported that investors in billions of dollars of Puerto Rico
bonds have secured a major legal victory, after a federal judge
ruled that the commonwealth's recently enacted debt restructuring
law was unconstitutional.
According to the report, in a decision on Feb. 6, Judge Francisco
A. Besosa of the United States District Court in Puerto Rico said
the Puerto Rico Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery
Act was void and enjoined commonwealth officials from enforcing
the law. The DealBook added that Judge Besosa also denied the
commonwealth's motion to dismiss an investors' lawsuit, saying
that the recovery act was pre-empted by federal bankruptcy law.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Unipet Head Wants Gradual Cut of Fuel Subsidy
----------------------------------------------------------------
Juhel Browne at Trinidad Express reports that falling oil prices
that have resulted in TT$2 billion less being spent on the fuel
subsidy in Trinidad and Tobago now present the perfect time for
the government to look at gradually reducing it even further as it
is "unsustainable" said the head of one of the country's fuel
retailers.
"My personal opinion is that I think now is the time to look at
the subsidy because it is so low the impact at it would have on
people's pockets, if they were to do it a year ago the impact it
would have today would be a lot less," Unipet Chief Executive
Officer Ronald Milford said of lowering the subsidy further,
according to Trinidad Express.
Trinidad and Tobago imports oil at international market prices for
Petrotrin to produce gasoline and diesel, the report notes.
Lower oil prices, therefore, mean money is spent on the fuel
subsidy but it also means the State earns less in the taxes from
the oil and natural gas exploration companies operating here such
as bpTT and BHPBilliton, the report discloses.
The report relays that government increased the price of premium
gasoline from TT$4 to TT$5.75 per liter in fiscal 2013 to help
reduce the fuel subsidy, which then stood at TT$4 billion.
But it is the fall in the oil prices now that, according to Prime
Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has led to a TT$2 billion in
savings in fuel subsidy that is still keeping the price of super
gasoline at TT$2.80 per liter and diesel at TT$1.50 per liter, the
report notes.
"I would say once you can cut, reduce it further down by another
50 per cent. I think that's more palatable because it would mean
taking diesel up to somewhere around TT$3 at the pump. . . super
will go to somewhere around TT$4-TT$4.50," the report quoted Mr.
Milford as saying.
Mr. Milford acknowledged that would be a significant price hike.
"It is but I said over time, you can't do that overnight," the
report quoted Mr. Milford as saying.
Mr. Milford noted: "I think it has to be over a gradual reduction,
over three to four years in my estimation."
In 2013, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), or US crude
oil on which the national budget is partly pegged, peaked at just
above US$100 per barrel, the report recalls.
On Feb. 5, trading of the WTI closed at US$52 per barrel.
The national budget has been readjusted and is now based on a new
oil price projection of US$45 per barrel and with a new natural
gas price projection of US$2.25 per mmbtu, down from the original
projections of US$80 per barrel and US$2.75 per mmbtu
respectively, the report relays.
"The politics of the day may not support my position but I do
think that it has to be looked at I have gone in the past in
saying that the subsidy is not sustainable at this point in time
and even with lower oil prices eventually it's gonna' back up and
what do we do then. So I think we need to really keep looking at
it with a view to reducing the subsidy," Mr. Milford said, the
report notes.
As for the impact of falling oil prices on the fuel retail
business, Milford does not predict any impact on the gas stations
in the short term, the report discloses. "Where I think they will
have some impact will be on the industrial side of our sales. We
actually supply a lot of fuel, in particular diesel fuel, to the
multinational oil companies. So should they curtail their drilling
operations certainly we will be affected by that," Mr. Milford
added.

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