OGX PETROLEO: Lands US$73 Million Loan
--------------------------------------
Joseph R. Fonseca at marinelink.com reports that bankrupt OGX
Petroleo e Gas Participacoes S.A., now known as Oleo e Gas, has
obtained a US$73.2 million loan to finance exports and related
costs, the company said in a securities filing.

The company, the flagship of Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista's EBX
energy, mining, shipbuilding and port-operation group before its
collapse, said the export prepayment agreement will have a
discount rate of 18 percent, notes the report.

The filing did not say whether other OGX creditors had approved
the loan agreement. The company said the loan will be contracted
by its subsidiary OGX Petroleo e Gas S.A.

OGX, which is still controlled by Batista, made Latin America's
largest-ever bankruptcy protection filing on Oct. 30, as Mr.
Batista's group came apart due to missed production targets and
project and regulatory delays that put off revenue needed to pay
for mounting debt and capital investments, the report relays.

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 $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 $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 $500
million in new funds. OGX said Oct. 29 that the talks concluded
without an agreement. The company's cash fell to about $82 million
at the end of September, not enough to sustain operations further
than December.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Fiscal Deficit Greater Than Current Budget
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dominican Today reports that the fiscal deficit during 2013 was
RD$70.0 billion, equal to 2.77% of GDP, meaning that it was 11.3%
greater than the current line of RD$62.9 billion, the Government
Accounts Agency (Digecog) revealed.

Digecog's report disclosed that "state of Collections and
Investment of the Income," which covers 2013, the financial
results for last year reveal a deficit of RD$70.0 billion, which
represents 111.3% with respect to the estimate in force for 2013,
and which at the same time represents 2.77% of GDP, according to
Dominican Today.

The report notes that Finance Minister Simon Lizardo told the
press in February that in 2013 the fiscal deficit was some RD$70.0
billion, equal to 2.77% of GDP.  Minister Lizardo, the report
relates, then said the deficit was below the goal that was
forecast.  But the RD$70.0 billion amount to which the minister
referred corresponds to the original budget, before it was
modified, the report relays.

In its report the Accounting Agency stresses that the result was
modified by RD$7.2 billion to remain at RD$62.9 billion, Dominican
Today says.  On November 27, 2013, the Congress approved Law 158-
13 which modified that year's budget.

JAMAICA: Dollar Undergoing Yearly Check-Up For Bloatedness
----------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Gleaner reports that the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
is doing another assessment of the Jamaican dollar (JMD) to
determine whether it is still overvalued and the degree to which
it should be adjusted to boost competitiveness.

The fund previously estimated that the JMD was overvalued by 9-
22%, but has not specifically indicated the level at which it
expects the exchange rate to level off over time.

To pinpoint a specific rate is to suggest there is a magic number
and that "when you reach that number everything is fine"; but that
is not the case, said IMF Mission Chief for Jamaica, Dr. Jan Kees
Martijn, according to Jamaica Gleaner.

"The answer is, everything is fine when you have a balance of
payments that is sustainable, when you have a reserve level that
is high enough and doesn't go down, (and) it is not under threat,"
said Dr. Martijn in an interview, Jamaica Gleaner notes.  "We
would really judge it by the economic outcomes rather than by any
prior numerical target," he added, the report relates.

The implied exchange rate against the US dollar at the end of
fiscal year 2013-14-based on projected NIR in the summary accounts
of the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) and included in IMF country report on
Jamaica dated March 2014-was $110, the report says.

At the end of fiscal year, on March 31, the Jamaican dollar traded
at $109.57 to the US dollar, and has continued to slide-averaging
$109.80 on April 14, the report notes.

IMF Resident Representative in Jamaica, Dr. Bert van Selm, who was
jointly interviewed with Dr. Martijn, observed that the outcome
corresponded to the lower end of the 9-22% overvaluation range
indicated in the May 2013 country report, the report notes.

The Jamaican dollar fell by approximately 11 per cent in the last
fiscal year.  According to the BOJ's summary accounts, the implied
exchange rate at the end of fiscal year 2014-15 is $120 based on a
projected J$175 billion or US$1.45 billion of net reserves, the
report notes.  It implies a further depreciation of about 9% this
fiscal year, the report relays.

Chief Executive Officer of the Private Sector Organization of
Jamaica, Dennis Chung, said there are countervailing forces that
can cause it not to get to the level forecast, the report relays.

Projects for energy solutions are happening, business confidence
is returning, and the fiscal accounts "are moving in the right
direction," said Mr. Chung, emphasizing that a reduction in oil
and food imports will take pressure off the exchange rate and
hence "there's no reason for the dollar to go to US$120," the
report discloses.

In the May 2013 report, the IMF said Jamaica's external
competitiveness had continued to deteriorate partly because of
long periods of an appreciating real exchange rate, the report
recalls.

The negative correlation between the real exchange rate and export
market share shows the importance of the exchange rate in
restoring competitiveness and promoting growth over the medium to
long term, said the IMF report, the report relays.

Dr. Martijn said the IMF would be doing an assessment of the
exchange rate for each year of the four-year extended fund
facility agreement with Jamaica, 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.
