ARGENTINA: Macri Out to Boost Exports of Value-Added Products
-------------------------------------------------------------
EFE News reports that Argentine President Mauricio Macri called
Friday for an increase in the volume of exports, especially of
value-added products, so that what is "made in Argentina reaches
the entire world."
During a speech he made at the 61st National Peanut Festival in
the town of Hernando, Cordoba province, President Macri gave an
example of this dried fruit as one of the products most exported
by Argentina, and whose export sales volume, he recalled, is
greater than that of India, according to EFE News.
For President Macri, this fact shows the potential of Argentine
workers, who, he believes, will help build a better country over
the coming years, the report notes.
In that sense, he praised the measures taken by his government
since he took power last December to reduce the heavy tax burden
that the previous government imposed on agricultural producers,
the report relays.
President Marci said the measures being considered to stimulate
regional economies and to refund tax payments to agricultural
producers who export their products will contribute significantly
to increasing exports, the report discloses.
"We want to export more, to export value-added products made in
Argentina and make sure that what is made in Argentina gets to the
rest of the world," the report quoted President Marci as saying.
The president said that these measures, plus the efforts of the
Argentine people, will help produce "quality work" and
"systematically reduce poverty and attain zero poverty," one of
the commitments highlighted in the electoral campaign and in the
first months of the President Macri government, the report notes.
"We Argentines know how, we Argentines are able. I believe in you,
I deeply believe in you," President Macri told the residents of
Hernando, a city known as the International Peanut Capital, the
report relays.
Speaking to a large group of students of the area, the president
expressed his "concern" that youngsters have the "tools to get an
education" so that tomorrow "they'll be able to get good
employment that allows them to be leaders of society," the report
says.
"Every day, we're going to improve a little more the quality of
public education and guarantee that all of you will have the work
you dream of doing," the president said, adding that schools are
"the factories of dreams," the report discloses.
President Macri said that only by "working together" will the
country be "truly great" and added that "together we're going to
write the great story of Argentina."
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Oct. 17, 2016, Fitch Ratings has affirmed Argentina's sovereign
ratings as:
-- Long-term Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings
(IDRs) at 'B', Outlook Stable;
-- Senior unsecured Foreign Currency bonds at 'B';
-- Country Ceiling at 'B';
-- Short-Term Foreign and Local Currency IDRs at 'B'.

BRAZIL: To Improve Solid Waste Mngt Quality with $100MM IDB Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Brasilia will improve solid waste management and overall
environmental conditions through the implementation of urban
infrastructure services and restoration of degraded areas with
help from a $100 million loan from the Inter-American Development
Bank (IDB).
The loan, the second of its kind for the Territorial Master Plan
for the capital of Brazil, home to 2.7 million people, will set
aside $35 million to finance the rehabilitation and enhancement of
two composting plants and construction or rehabilitation of seven
solid waste separation plants.
The project will also more than double -- to 4,500 -- the number
of homes with access to drinking water, sanitation and wastewater
treatment services, while 2,500 homes will benefit from access to
a new storm sewer system and another 2,500 to paved roads.
A $14 million of the program's funds will be used to build 560 new
homes for low-income families currently living in informal
settlements, particularly those located in the Por do Sol
Condominium, considered a priority area for property-titling
regularization.
Its goals include supporting the final closure and environmental
recovery of the Joquei Club disposal area, which receives nearly
95 percent of the federal district's solid waste despite not
meeting landfill standards and being widely considered a mere
controlled dumpsite. It will also finance a social and productive
inclusion program for recyclers, with a special focus on
empowering and promoting professional associations of women, in
particular heads of households, which represent 52 percent of the
Joquei Club recyclers, by creating job opportunities at the
separation plants and providing other benefits.
Additionally, the program will train 2,000 recyclers and generate
1,627 positions at the waste separation plants.
Other goals of the five-year plan include:
-- Taking the total federal district's municipal solid waste
under adequate treatment and/or final disposal from the
current 200 to 3,000 tons a day.
-- Raising total compost production in the district from 150 to
600 tons a day.
-- Increasing separated solid waste for commercialization from 60
to 400 tons a day.
-- Taking the number of new jobs created at the solid waste
separation plants from 370 to 1,630.
-- Planting 5,000 trees.
The $100 million loan, from the Ban's Ordinary Capital, is of a
25-year term, with a 5.5-year grace period and LIBOR-based
interest. It will include an extra $50 million in local
counterpart funds.
SAMARCO MINERACAO: Gets BRL500,000 Fines Per Day
------------------------------------------------
Stephen Eisenhammer at Reuters reports that Brazil's federal
environmental agency IBAMA said it is fining Samarco Mineracao, an
iron ore joint venture between Vale SA and BHP Billiton, 500,000
reais (US$154,693) per day for not complying with directives
related to a 2015 tailings dam spill at their mine.
IBAMA said Samarco will be fined daily until it increases the
height of the "S3 dike" that was built to contain the continuing
run off from the dam spill and effectively treats the mining
waste, known as tailings, that lies upstream of the dike,
according to Reuters.
SAMARCO MINERACAO: S&P Lowers Rating on Sr. Unsecured Notes to 'D'
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings has lowered its issue-level rating on Samarco
Mineracao S.A.'s (D/--/--) senior unsecured notes due 2022 to 'D'
from 'CC'. The company has missed interest payments on the notes
that were due on Nov. 1, 2016. S&P don't expect Samarco to amend
the payment during the 30-day cure period, given it already failed
to do so for the 2024 notes, whose 30-day cure period ended on
Oct. 26, 2016, and the company's finances are not likely to
improve in the upcoming weeks. S&P has lowered its corporate
credit rating on Samarco to 'D' on Sept. 28, 2016, after it failed
to make payments on its 2024 senior unsecured notes' interests,
reflecting S&P's view that the company would not amend payments
during the notes' cure period, and would fail to make payments on
other financial obligations, including other senior unsecured
notes. Following the 30-day cure period of the first bond,
Samarco failed to amend the interest payment, the creditors can
file the company on a general default due to a cross default
clause among all obligations.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: IMF Report a Mixed Bag on Economy
-----------------------------------------------------
Dominican Today reports that the rising debt stymied the
Administration's overall balance from 2005 to 2014, when the Non-
Financial Public Sector Liabilities (NFPS) tripled, to 53% of GDP
by 2014, by related to the losses derived from the local financial
crisis of 2003 and loans to finance the fiscal deficit.
According to documents prepared by International Monetary Fund
(IMF) technicians, that makes the government "currently the most
vulnerable sector of the economy," the report notes.
The IMF report, which does not necessarily represents the IMF
position, was presented by Joseph Saboin and Svetlana Cerovic, one
of the economists who's part of the IMF mission currently in the
country assessing the economy.
State Pension Fund
The IMF report notes that commercial banks and the pension fund
have been the government's main sources of funding, according to
Dominican Today.
Loans in the local market jumped between 2008 and 2009, when
external conditions were unfavorable for the international
financial crisis, the report notes.
The government's net financial position improved between 2010 and
2011, but worsened again in 2012 with a notable increase in the
deficit, which led to an expansion of foreign currency funding,
the report relays.
The IMF report suggests that in addition to foreign loans, the
country has attracted significant resources through government
bonds, so much so that by that date, non-residents held 55% of the
total government debt, Dominican Today adds.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
July 1, 2016, Moody's Investors Service has changed the outlook on
the Dominican Republic's long term issuer and debt ratings to
positive from stable. The ratings have been affirmed at B1.

advised that effective November 7, 2016, Mr. Peter Donkersloot
Ponce will replace Mr. Alejandro Vares Leal as the Company's
General Manager.
In a previously published notice to stakeholders, TCL (the Parent
Company of CCC) had advised that Mr. Alejandro Vares Leal would
assume the position of General Manger of CCC, pursuant to the
Technical and Managerial Services Agreement, dated April 23, 2015,
according to RJR News.
CCC has advised, however, that Mr. Vares Leal has subsequently
been offered a promotion within CEMEX Mexico, as Vice President of
Infrastructure and Government Sales, and in accordance with the
Agreement, CEMEX has proposed a new candidate -- Mr. Peter
Donkersloot Ponce -- to replace Mr. Vares Leal as General Manager
of CCC, the report notes.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on

loss of $89 million in the three months to the end of June,
compared to a $359 million profit in the corresponding period a
year ago. The report noted that Caribbean Cement said the loss
was due to the shutdown of a clinker line to facilitate
maintenance work.
According to a TCRLA report on Aug. 7, 2013, RJR News said that
Caribbean Cement Company Limited suffered a consolidated loss of
J$137 million for the first six months of 2013 down from J$1.2
billion during the corresponding period last year, according to

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: S&P Raises CCR to 'CCC-', Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating on Petroleos
de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) to 'CCC-' from 'SD'. The outlook is
negative.
At the same time, S&P raised its issue-level ratings on the
remaining outstanding amount of the company's 5.25% senior
unsecured notes due April 2017 and on 8.5% senior unsecured notes
due November 2017 to 'CCC-' from 'D'.
S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on the company's senior
unsecured debt to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'.
The upgrade follows the exchange of PDVSA's outstanding 5.25% and
8.5% senior unsecured notes. The exchange extends the maturity
date of the company's debt until 2020, which improved its
financial flexibility. However, PDVSA still has amortization of
about $1.1 billion in November 2016 on its 5.25% senior unsecured
notes and amortization of $2.0 billion in April 2017, and S&P
believes that an exchange on these notes is likely. The corporate
credit rating on the company reflects that a default, distressed
exchange, or redemption appears to be inevitable in the next six
months, absent unanticipated significantly favorable changes in
the company's circumstances.
The company's business risk profile continues to reflect the
government's heavy intervention and PDVSA's difficulty to increase
production. It also considers that the company operates in a
country that continues to suffer from an economic contraction,
very high inflation, and increasing scarcities, largely resulting
from stringent import restrictions. Additionally, lower oil
prices have shrunk PDVSA's profitability. For 2015, the company
reported an EBITDA of about $7.8 billion, which represents an
EBITDA shortfall of about 70% when compared to 2014. The business
risk profile also considers the company's leading position as an
integrated oil company with large proven reserves of around 300
billion of barrels.
The ratings also reflect a continuing rise in PDVSA's debt, the
challenges to finance the very high capital expenditures needed to
develop reserves and increase production, and considerable
contributions to the government's social programs. They also
reflect the company's projected debt to EBITDA of about 10x and a
negative funds from operations (FFO) to debt in 2016 and 8.8x in
2017.

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