RATINGS RATIONALE The fund's ratings reflect the quality of the fund's investment portfolio, which will typically invest 60% in B3 rated sovereign and sub-sovereign bonds. The remainder of the fund's asset will be invested in corporate bonds, mutual funds and REPOs (rated between B1 and Ba3). The Fund's average duration is not expected to exceed 3 years. Additionally we considered the asset manager's track record as trend setter and brand recognition in adhering to the portfolio's average credit quality. The rating agency noted that Fima Renta Dolares I FCI is a new fund with no prior track record, but managed by an experienced investment manager. Moody's analysis was performed on a model portfolio provided by the fund sponsor. The rating agency expects the Fund to be managed in line with the model portfolio. However, Moody's noted that if the Fund's actual portfolio deviates materially from the model portfolio, the Fund's ratings could change. "Based on the Fund's pro-forma portfolio, the Fund's credit quality profile is consistent with other B-bf/A-bf.ar rated funds", said Moody's Assistant Vice President Carlos de Nevares. Galicia Administradora de Fondos SA (AAPIC FCI) is among the largest asset managers in the Argentinean mutual fund industry being a subsidiary of Banco Galicia, one of the leading private banks in Argentina. As of June 2016, Galicia Administradora de Fondos SA (AAPIC FCI), among the eldest fund advisors in the local market, had approximately AR$23.8 billion in Assets under Management (AUM) or approximately $1.6 billion, which place them at the second position with a 9.6 % of market share in AUM terms. ============= B O L I V I A ============= BOLIVIA: Scraps Controversial Broadcast-Licensing System -------------------------------------------------------- EFE News reports that the Bolivian government announced that it will postpone the expiration date of licenses for radio stations and television channels after media owners warned they could possibly lose their permits due to a decree that made their renewal process extremely difficult. The media were informed of the decision by Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera following a meeting that President Evo Morales held with representatives of the Asbora broadcasters association and executives from television networks, according to EFE News. The report notes that Mr. Linera said that after hearing the concerns of media owners, it was decided to cancel the new regulations on license renewals established last month. "We are extending for three months the valid licenses that absolutely all the media possess. The expiration of their licenses that began this month is suspended," the vice president said, the report relays. "They can keep operating and planning their investments without any problem," he added. Mr. Linera added that radio and television outlets will be able to renew their licenses in 2019 for a period of 15 years with no need for a public bidding process, as long as they comply with the "content requirement established by law," the report relays. In March, Asbora representatives warned about the possible closure of 500 radio stations due to the complications of renewing their licenses caused by the decree regulating the Telecommunications Law, the report notes. Mr. Linera said the government then realized that "this could be the beginning of a period of job instability" for media workers and of "economic instability" for media owners, who would not be able to make investments for the future due to their uncertainty about being granted the frequencies applied for, the report notes. The president of Asbora, Alfonso Arevalo, for his part, thanked the government for hearing the concerns and proposals of the sector and said "the country has won," since now "there are sources of jobs and there are radio and television networks that will remain on the air," the report says. As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on July 18, 2016, Fitch Ratings downgraded Bolivia's Long-Term Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings to 'BB-' from 'BB'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. The issue ratings on Bolivia's senior unsecured Foreign and Local Currency bonds have also been downgraded to 'BB-' from 'BB'. The Country Ceiling has been downgraded to 'BB-' from 'BB' and the Short-Term Foreign Currency IDR is affirmed at 'B'. =========== B R A Z I L =========== JBS SA: Police Raid Brazil Offices ---------------------------------- meatpoultry.com reports that federal law enforcement officers in Brazil searched the headquarters of JBS SA as part of a far- reaching corruption investigation. JBS confirmed the search, but said neither the company nor JBS executives were the target of the probe. In a statement, JBS said "in relation to reports in the press this morning, neither the company nor any of its executives are the target of or are related to the Federal Police operation which occurred this morning in Brazil," according to meatpoultry.com. JBS and several other Brazilian companies are under scrutiny by federal prosecutors as part of a corruption probe called Operation Car Wash, the report notes. Federal prosecutors are looking into allegations that offshore companies and real estate transactions were used as a front for laundering money from bribes, graft, racketeering and other criminal activities including fraud and collusion, the report relays. Joesley Batista, chairman of JBS SA, was indicted earlier this year for allegedly trying to circumvent Brazilian laws prohibiting loans from one financial entity to its owners, the report discloses. Additionally, JBS categorically denied JBS Chief Executive Officer Wesley Batista's involvement in the alleged criminal activities under investigation in Operation Car Wash, the report notes. In both cases, JBS categorically denied any wrongdoing by the Batista brothers, the report relays. In May, the company announced plans to spin off its international business to create a new company, JBS Foods International, which will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the report adds. As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on May 16, 2016, S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on JBS S.A. and JBS USA LLC to negative from stable. At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB+' global scale and 'brAA+' national scale ratings on JBS and JBS USA. In addition, S&P affirmed its 'BB+' issue- level ratings on both companies. A recovery rating of '3' for the senior secured debt -- indicating a recovery expectation of 70%- 90%, in the higher band of the range -- and a '4' recovery rating for the unsecured debt -- indicating a recovery expectation of 30%-50%, the higher band of the range -- remain unchanged. OI SA: Seeks Large Debt Cut, $1 Billion Cash From Creditors ----------------------------------------------------------- Guillermo Parra-Bernal at Reuters reports that Oi SA wants creditors to cut debt by almost two-thirds and inject $1 billion in fresh cash to exit bankruptcy protection, O Globo newspaper relayed, citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter. Under terms of an accord that is under discussion between Oi bondholders represented by investment-banking firm Moelis & Co, and shareholders and management of Brazil's No. 4 wireless carrier, total debt would be reduced to about BRL25 billion (US$7.6 billion) from the current BRL65.4 billion, Globo said, citing the source, according to Reuters. Reuters notes that the accord would allow Oi to obtain $1 billion in cash from creditors that would be used for capital spending, the newspaper added. That amount is equivalent to the investments that Oi, which filed for a court-led reorganization in June, made last year, the paper said, Reuters relays. Rio de Janeiro-based Oi, the byproduct of a government-sponsored merger at the end of last decade, succumbed to a heavy debt burden and mounting competition after years of shareholder disputes, Reuters discloses. The disputes led to the collapse of negotiations with the Moelis-led group after largest single shareholder Pharol SGPS SA balked at the prospect of being heavily diluted in a debt restructuring deal, Reuters adds. About Oi SA Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, and operating almost exclusively within Brazil, the Oi Group provides services like fixed-line data transmission and network usage for phones, internet, and cable, Wi-Fi hot-spots in public areas, and mobile phone and data services, and employs approximately 142,000 direct and indirect employees.

Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela has built up more than $19 billion in debts to providers as it struggles with low oil prices and a decaying socialist economy, leading some leading service companies to slow operations, according to Trinidad Express. As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on March 10, 2016, Moody's Investors Service changed the outlook on Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA)'s ratings to negative from stable. Moody's also affirmed PDVSA's Caa3 issuer rating and lowered the company's baseline credit assessment (BCA) to caa3 from caa1. These rating actions follow Moody's decision on March 4, 2016, to change the outlook on the Government of Venezuela's bond ratings to negative from stable. ================= X X X X X X X X X ================= LATAM: IMF Says Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela Holding Back Economy ----------------------------------------------------------------- EFE News reports that the International Monetary Fund forecasts for 2016 a contraction in Latin America's average GDP of 0.4 percent, due mainly to economic problems in Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, a senior IMF official said. The head of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, the Mexican economist Alejandro Werner, took part in a Montevideo conference on structural reforms, according to EFE News. "The panorama of Latin America is largely determined by economies like Venezuela, which faces a considerable projected contraction (some 10 percent); Brazil, which will experience a decline similar to last year's; and Argentina, obviously because of the transition going on there," Mr. Werner told the press, EFE News notes. As for the latter country, he said the "change in economic policy" enacted by the new government of President Mauricio Macri "will control the imbalances of that economy" and reactivate investments, but in the short term will show "negative growth," the report relays. "The rest of the region's economies show minor growth like we have seen in the past, but on the positive side," the economist said, the report notes. Mr. Werner also noted that opportunities exist in Latin America for "greater regional integration" in finance and trade, something that a panorama of "greater international complexity and in which integrating into the global economy is getting harder," should provide the leverage for significant growth, the report relays. Asked whether the IMF has evaluated the impact of establishing a free trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur -- a bloc made up of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela -- he said that such a deal "offers very important possibilities for the region," the report relays. "We like the looks of it. Mercosur's move to find this integration and the EU's move to do the same in a situation where there is clearly less of a trend toward international free trade, we believe this is a very important initiative," the report quoted Mr. Werner as saying. Attending the conference in Montevideo were Uruguayan Economy Minister Danilo Astori, while taking part in the day's panels were also the finance ministers of Colombia, Mauricio Cardenas, and of Paraguay, Santiago Paz, the report says. Also on hand will be the IMF's chief economist, Maurice Obstfeld, and the presidents of the central banks of Argentina, Federico Sturzenegger, and of Uruguay, Mario Bergara, 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. Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
