* ARGENTINA: Consumer Prices Climb 0.8% in November
---------------------------------------------------
Argentina's consumer prices rose 0.8 percent in November from the
previous month, led by higher costs for food, beverages and
clothing, Eliana Raszewski and Silvia Martinez at Bloomberg News
report, citing the National Statistics Institute. The institute,
the report relates, said that annual inflation quickened to 7.1%,
which exceeded the 6.8% median estimate of four economists
surveyed by Bloomberg.
According to the report, private economists and politicians have
questioned the country's inflation reports, saying that the
government has underreported price increases since former
President Nestor Kirchner made personnel changes at the institute,
known as Indec, in January 2007. The report relates that the
government has denied any manipulation.
Bloomberg News notes that a research department at Buenos Aires
University, headed by Graciela Bevacqua, a former director of the
consumer price index department at the Indec, reported that prices
rose 1.3% in November from the previous month and 14% on the year.

BANCO NACIONAL: May Fund African & South American Companies
-----------------------------------------------------------
Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social SA is
analyzing the creation of a credit line to allow companies from
Africa and South America to import Brazilian equipment, Macauhub
News reports, citing Brasil news agency.
According to the report, Brasil news agency said that the funding
would be provided in partnership with banks from other countries
and would come from a BNDES fund called Funding for Machines and
Equipment. The report relates that the operation will be carried
out through a BNDES contract with a foreign bank.
Brazilian suppliers, the report notes, will export products and
receive the value of the sale in Brazilian reals from BNDES, which
means the currency will not leave the country. In its turn, the
report says, the foreign bank will fund the payment for the buyer
and later return it to BNDES.
BNDES Chairman Luciano Coutinho, MacauHub News adds, said that the
move sought to provide support to small companies abroad that have
difficulties in accessing credit and added that countries that
manufacture equipment, such as China, already had credit lines
such as this.
About BNDES
Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social SA is
Brazil's national development bank. It provides financing for
projects within Brazil and plays a major role in the
privatization programs undertaken by the federal government.

Banco Nacional continues to carry a Ba2 foreign long-term bank
deposit rating from Moody's Investors Service.
BRF-BRASIL FOODS: HSBC Holdings Boosts Forecast
-----------------------------------------------
Paulo Winterstein at Bloomberg News reports that BRF Brasil Foods
SA's share-price estimate has been boosted on the outlook that the
purchase of Sadia SA will cut costs as demand grows, Paulo
Winterstein at Bloomberg News reports. The shares will likely
climb to BRL60 in 12 months, Pedro Herrera, a New York-based HSBC
analyst, wrote in a note obtained by the news agency.
According to the report, Mr. Herrera said that BRF's American
depositary receipts will probably trade at US$76 each, up from a
prior estimate of US$43.
Mr. Herrera, Bloomberg News notes, said that Itajai, Brazil-based
BRF, which agreed to buy Sadia SA in May, will likely save BRL400
million (US$227 million) a year after it finishes the integration
of the operations in 2013. The report relates that the companies
are required by Brazil's antitrust regulator to keep operations
separate until the merger is approved. "Once the transaction is
approved, probably by mid-2010, we expect the shares to rally from
the decision and the reduction of uncertainties, from the
extraction of synergies, and from a general recovery of global
economic conditions and thus export markets," the report quoted
Mr. Herrera as saying.
Profit will likely be "weak" in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the
first half of next year, Herrera wrote in a note obtained by the
news agency. Earnings will improve in the second half of 2010,
with margins rising above 10% as Brazil's currency weakens and a
rebounding global economy boosts demand, he added.

THOR ASSET: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Rating on US$2 Bil. Senior Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it had affirmed its 'BB+'
rating on the US$2 billion senior secured callable floating-rate
notes issued by Thor Asset Purchase (Cayman) Ltd., under its
US$4 billion medium-term note program. At the same time, Standard
& Poor's removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it was placed
with "developing" implications on Dec. 3, 2009.
The affirmation reflects S&P's view that the Dubai government's
(not rated) support for the transaction remains strong, via its
performance guarantee on the obligations of Dubai Electricity and
Water Authority (unrated) towards Thor under the transaction. The
action also reflects S&P's view that the waiver with respect to
principal acceleration on Dec. 14, 2009, which S&P understand was
agreed upon by the investors, does not constitute a distressed
offer under its criteria.
The rating reflects S&P's opinion that the performance guarantee
by the Government of Dubai with regard to obligations of DEWA to
Thor, as well as recent statements of support by the government,
constitute a high likelihood of extraordinary government support
for the rated notes under S&P's criteria for government-related
entities. The performance guarantee issued by the Dubai
government covers all of DEWA's obligations to Thor under the
transaction. The performance guarantee supports debt-service
payment by Thor on the rated notes, although it is not a direct
payment guarantee to the noteholders. The rating on the notes
also incorporates S&P's view on DEWA's credit quality.
On Nov. 30, 2009, a rating downgrade on the notes triggered an
acceleration event, effective on Dec. 14, 2009. Successively,
investors have issued a temporary waiver on such acceleration.
S&P considers that this waiver is not equivalent to a distressed
offer and thus not tantamount to default under S&P's criteria.
In S&P's understanding, the waiver does not imply that the
investors receive less value on the notes than agreed under the
original terms of the transaction; an interest rate margin step-up
has been triggered. S&P understands that the issuer and
noteholders expect that the terms of the transaction documentation
will have been amended by the time the waiver runs out. S&P also
understands that the noteholders retain the right to trigger
acceleration until such new agreement is reached.

* HAITI: IDB OKs US$5.5 Million to Aid in Child & Maternal Health
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank approved a US$5.5 million
grant to help improve infant and child health and nutrition and
improve social safety nets to fight extreme poverty in Haiti.
Haiti has the highest levels of child mortality in the Western
Hemisphere. More than 20,000 children under five years of age die
every year as a result of diarrheal diseases, acute respiratory
infections and other treatable ailments associated with
malnutrition.
In order to alleviate this problem, the IDB will support a two-
pronged approach. On one hand it will improve and expand the
reach of Child Health Weeks, a bi-annual campaign to deliver
vitamin A supplements, de-worming and zinc capsules, as well as
other critical child survival interventions at the national level.
It will also invest in the promotion of breastfeeding, the
treatment of acute malnutrition and assist the Government in
creating a fortification system so that micronutrients can be
added to the staple foods and utilize the market channels to
distribute the needed micronutrients such as iron to the
population.
On the other hand it will finance a creation of a social
information system and pilot a safety net program in maternal and
child healthcare using community workers. This will serve as a
planning tool for broader safety net programs. It will also
initiate a national program for the treatment of acute
malnutrition with locally produced Ready-to-use-therapeutic-food.
Under the program, the distribution of vitamin A supplements will
more than double over a four-year period from the current 31
percent to 70% of children under five years of age. Additionally,
the program is expected to cut in half the incidence of infants
affected by intestinal parasites.
The IDB resources for this project include US$3 million from its
Food Price Crisis Response Fund and US$2.5 million from its Grant
Facility and. The Government of Haiti will provide an additional
US$2.5 million in local counterpart funds.

AIR JAMAICA: "Divestment Seems Imminent," Minister Says
-------------------------------------------------------
The negotiation for the sale of Air Jamaica Limited is "now at a
stage where divestment seems imminent," Jamaica Information
Service reports, citing Minister of Finance and the Public
Service, Hon Audley Shaw. "It is now at a stage where I can
indicate that a decision on the future (of Air Jamaica) is
Imminent," the report quoted Mr. Shaw as saying. The Government
remained committed to the sale of the airline, as soon as a
suitable arrangement can be made, he added.
According to the report, Mr. Shaw is seeking the approval of a
revised Government Guarantee, in respect to a loan arranged by NCB
Capital Markets Limited.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
December 4, 2009, RadioJamaica said that Air Jamaica will receive
a much needed $1.3 million injection from NCB Capital to finance
the airline's business plan for the remainder of the 2009/2010
fiscal year. According RadioJamaica, NCB initially committed to
provide $34.4 million for the cash-strapped airline but it was
unable to do so due to less than favorable market conditions and
delays in the finalization of the loan document. The report
related that NCB Capital proposed that the outstanding amount be
sourced from the local market via a private placement.
Jamaica Information Service points out that Mr. Shaw explained
that the $1.8 billion was re-negotiated on terms that were more
favourable than before. "The original terms had the interest rate
at 22.51%. (Under) the new issuance, which is being done through
NCB Capital Markets, the interest rate has been reduced from
22.51% to 19.04%," Mr. Shaw added.

cheaper financing, "even in cases where there may be collateral
constraints", the magazine added.

CARIBBEAN PETROLEUM: Faces 3rd Lawsuit, Plaintiffs Seek US$5MM++
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Caribbean Petroleum Corporation is facing a third class-action
lawsuit, in which plaintiffs are seeking a minimum US$5 million,
almost two months after a fire at one of the company's fuel
depots, Jamaica Observer reports.
According to the report, the group of 1,000 new plaintiffs and 23
new defendants are seeking the money for damages to homes and
environmental contamination. The report relates that the
plaintiffs have accused the company of, among other things, not
training employees properly and failing to ensure that equipment
was working correctly.
The Observer says that Attorney Eric Quetglas and other lawyers
are asking the court to consolidate this latest case and the two
previously filed into a single case.
The company, the report recalls, said that a broken fuel gauge
caused the October 23 fire that damaged 21 of the depot's 40 tanks
and forced the evacuation of hundreds of people.

* VENEZUELA: Moody's Says Ratings Unmoved by Bank Nationalizations
------------------------------------------------------------------
Venezuela's government ratings have not been affected by
intervention or nationalization of seven local banks over the last
several weeks, says Moody's Investors Service in a brief issuer
comment from its Sovereign Risk Unit. Venezuela's foreign-
currency government bonds are rated B2 while the local-currency
bonds carry a B1rating.
"The impact on the ratings remains muted due to a combination of
already low government ratings, little to no direct cash cost to
the government, and still-sizable public sector financial assets,"
said Moody's Vice President -- Senior Analyst Gabriel Torres,
author of the report. "Still, concerns remain about the general
operating environment for all banks in the country and the
possible contagion effects on the system as a whole."
The banks targeted by the administration of President Hugo Chavez
represent about 7.5% of system deposits. The government alleges
general financial mismanagement and plans to close some of the
banks and have state-owned banks absorb the others.
"The sovereign's speculative-grade ratings already incorporate a
significant risk of default, and concerns about policy
implementation and the general policy environment are one of the
key reasons for the low ratings," said Mr. Torres. "While not the
case for the time being, a sudden and permanent increase in the
government's debt burden could push the ratings even lower."
He said available evidence indicates that the deposit guarantee
fund (FOGADE) is sufficiently capitalized to cover all potential
claims by deposit holders in the affected banks. Moody's
estimates that the government has over US$50 billion in financial
assets and, absent a significant deterioration in the financial
system, this should provide ample resources to the authorities.
"But if concerns prompt a more generalized run on bank deposits,
the strain on government finances could lead to a downgrade,"
warned Mr. Torres. "To put it in perspective, total deposits are
around US$103 billion and Moody's estimate government debt to
reach US$65 billion by the end of this year."
Even if there is only a small or no direct cash cost to the
government, he said, the potential impact on confidence and growth
remains a concern as Venezuela already lags other Latin American
countries in its recovery. GDP was still negative as of the end
of the third quarter but Moody's expects a moderate recovery in
2010 with GDP growth of some 2.5%.
"Continued negative growth is possible, especially with the risk
that the financial crisis deepens the current recession," said Mr.
Torres. "Adding to this are important legislative midterm
elections scheduled for next December, which may place pressure on
the government to increase fiscal spending and reduce financial
flexibility."

* LatAm & Carribean Economic Recovery Quicker Than Expected
-----------------------------------------------------------
In its annual report Preliminary Overview of the Economies of
Latin America and the Caribbean 2009, the regional commission of
the United Nations projects positive growth rates for most
countries, but explains that there is still doubts about whether
this recovery will be sustainable over time, given that the
external scenario continues uncertain, which may affect growth
expectations in the region.
"The worst of the crisis is behind us. The motors of growth have
been turned on again, but we don't know how long the fuel will
last," stated ECLAC Executive Secretary Alicia Barcena, in
presenting the report.
The most notable recovery will take place in South America and
Central America (with the exception of Mexico), which next year
will have growth rates of 4.7% and 3.0%, respectively. Economic
growth in the Caribbean is expected to be lower (1.8%).
According to ECLAC, Brazil will top the list of countries with
higher growth in 2010, with expansion estimated at 5.5%, followed
by Peru and Uruguay (5%), Bolivia, Chile and Panama (4.5%) and
Argentina and Surinam (4%).
Mexico, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic will grow 3.5%.
Overcoming the crisis has been swifter thanks to a set of
countercyclical policies that helped countries address the
external turbulence effectively, says the report. These policies
included reducing interest rates, increasing State-owned bank
loans, expanding public expenditure and implementing a broad array
of social programs, such as consumer subsidies and support for
low-income households.
The ECLAC report also examines in detail the evolution of the
region's economies in 2009, as the crisis hit, putting an end to
six years of consecutive economic growth in Latin America and the
Caribbean. The region's economies will contract this year by -
1.8% (better than the -1.9% estimated last July), which means that
GDP per capita will fall about 2.9%
Unemployment in the region will also be higher than in 2008. This
year, it will rise to 8.3% (lower than the 9.0% projected earlier
this year) of the economically active population, with a
deterioration in the quality of new jobs.
The steepest fall in economic activity this year will take place
in Mexico and some countries of Central America and the Caribbean.
ECLAC expects positive average growth rates for South America,
with the exception of Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela. In
any case, growth rates this year will be significantly lower than
those experienced between 2004 and 2008 in all countries of the
region, states the report.
For 2010, better growth expectations and the higher prices of some
commodity exports from the region will boost fiscal income in the
region, improving the fiscal balance.
As growth consolidates, there may be a moderate inflationary
pressure that could lead central banks to restrict monetary
policies perhaps late in the year.
Economic growth will push up employment and probably improve its
quality, says the report. Unemployment could drop to around 8% in
2010, about midway between the unemployment levels before and
after the crisis, and this will have a positive effect on poverty
indicators, asserts the Preliminary Overview.
Beyond the short-term, ECLAC stresses that the current crisis will
lead to profound changes in the international scenario that will
create a less favorable environment for growth than that
experienced in the region between 2003 and 2008.
This poses the urgent need to redefine standards for productive
and trade specialization, encourage innovation, include more know-
how and diversification in products and seek new destination
markets, with greater participation of Asian countries.
Likewise, nations need to define the role of the State and provide
it with the resources and instruments they need to prevent and
address crises as well as promote sustainable economic and social
development.

Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication. Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades. Prices for actual trades are probably different. Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities. Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
