ARGENTINA: Economic Activity Fell in Sept, Ending 5Mo Run of Growth
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Buenos Aires Times reports that economic activity in Argentina fell
in September, contracting 0.3 percent from August and ending a
streak of five consecutive months of growth.

The data, taken from the INDEC national statistics bureau's Monthly
Estimator of Economic Activity (EMAE), does however show an
increase of 4.8 percent in the year-on-year comparison, according
to Buenos Aires Times.

Argentina's economy grew 6.2 percent in the first nine months of
this year compared to the same period in 2021, according to EMAE
figures, the report notes.

The hotels and restaurants sector recorded the highest year-on-year
increase for September 2022, rising 30.3 percent, according to the
estimate, which anticipates data that tracks the evolution of the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the report relays.  Mining and
quarrying increased 14.2 percent annually, with wholesale, retail
trade and repairs up seven percent year-on-year, the report relays.
Construction grew 7.2 percent, with real-estate activities up 5.1
percent, the report notes.

At the other end of the scale, the electricity, gas and water
sector fell the largest amount, down 3.5 percent year-on-year,
followed by financial services, which fell 2.3 percent, the report
relays.

Argentina will grow by four percent  this year, according to the
latest estimate of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In 2021,
GDP rose 10.3 percent, the report adds.

                         About Argentina

Argentina is a country located mostly in the southern half of
South America.  Its capital is Buenos Aires. Alberto Angel
Fernandez is the current president of Argentina after winning
the October 2019 general election. He succeeded Mauricio
Macri in the position.

Argentina has the third largest economy in Latin America.  The
country's economy is an upper middle-income economy for fiscal
year 2019, according to the World Bank. Historically, however,
its economic performance has been very uneven, with high economic
growth alternating with severe recessions, income maldistribution
and in the recent decades, increasing poverty.

Last March 25, 2022, Argentina finalized agreement with the IMF
for a new USD44 billion Extended Funding Facility (EFF) intended
to fund USD40 billion in looming repayments of the defunct
Stand-By Arrangement (SBA), with an extra USD4 billion in up-front
net financing. This has averted the risk of a default to the IMF
and is facilitating a parallel rescheduling of Paris Club debt.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Nov. 18, 2022, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'CCC+/C' foreign
currency sovereign credit ratings on Argentina. S&P lowered the
long-term local currency sovereign credit rating to 'CCC-' from
'CCC+' and the national scale rating to 'raCCC+' from 'raBBB-'.
S&P also affirmed its 'C' short-term local currency rating.
The outlook on the long-term ratings is negative. S&P's 'CCC+'
transfer and convertibility assessment is unchanged.

Last April 14, 2022, Fitch Ratings affirmed Argentina's Long-Term
Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) at 'CCC'.
Fitch said Argentina's 'CCC' ratings reflect weak external
liquidity and pronounced macroeconomic imbalances that undermine
debt repayment capacity, and uncertainty regarding how much
progress can be made on these issues under a new IMF program.
On July 19, 2022, Fitch Ratings placed Argentina's Long-Term
Foreign Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and Long-Term Local
Currency IDR Under Criteria Observation (UCO) following the
conversion of the agency's Exposure Draft: Sovereign Rating
Criteria to final criteria. The UCO assignment indicates that
ratings may change as a direct result of the final criteria. It
does not indicate a change in the underlying credit profile, nor
does it affect existing Rating Outlooks.

Moody's credit rating for Argentina was last set at Ca on
Sept. 28, 2020.

DBRS has also confirmed Argentina's Long-Term Foreign Currency
Issuer Rating at CCC and Long-Term Local Currency Issuer Rating at
CCC (high) on July 21, 2022.

BRAZIL: Industry Confidence Index Falls in November
---------------------------------------------------
The Rio Times reports that the Industrial Entrepreneur's Confidence
Index (ICEI) fell in the 29 sectors of the Brazilian industry from
October to November 2022, according to a report released Nov. 24,
by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI).

The ICEI varies from 0 to 100 points, where values above 50
indicate confidence and below that figure lack of confidence,
according to The Rio Times.

The economist responsible for the study, Larissa Nocko, pointed out
that "the sectoral results of the Industrial Business Confidence
Index for November showed a generalized fall among sectors,
different sizes of companies and regions of the country," the
report notes.

in the Americas.  Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the 2022
Brazilian general election. He will be sworn in on January 1, 2023,

as the 39th president of Brazil, succeeding Jair Bolsonaro.

In July 2022, Fitch Ratings affirmed Brazil's Long-Term Foreign
Currency Issuer Default Rating at 'BB-' and revised the Rating
Outlook to Stable from Negative.  In June 2022, S&P Global
Ratings also affirmed its 'BB-/B' long- and short-term foreign and
local currency sovereign credit ratings on Brazil.  Moody's, in
April 2022, affirmed Brazil's long-term Ba2 issuer ratings and
senior unsecured bond ratings, (P)Ba2 senior unsecured shelf
ratings, and maintained the stable outlook. On the other had, DBRS,
in August 2022, confirmed Brazil's Long-Term Foreign and Local
Currency Issuer Ratings at BB (low).

BRAZIL: Rise in Public Spending May Cause Volatility in Finl System
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Mann at Rio Times Online reports that the Central Bank of
Brazil considered that the expansion of public spending might
increase inflation expectations and have repercussions on the
financial system, according to the minutes of meeting of the
Financial Stability Committee (Comef), released Nov. 24.

According to the document, the "breach of confidence in the fiscal
regime" could affect the financial sector's stability, the report
notes.

The Comef, formed by the directors and the president of the Central
Bank of Brazil, establishes guidelines to maintain financial
stability and prevent risks in the sector, according to Rio Times
Online.

JBS SA: Caught Using Child Labor for Food Safety Services
---------------------------------------------------------
Dan Flynn at foodsafetynews.com reports that JBS S.A. - the
Brazilian company that is the largest meat processing company in
the world - has some key JBS USA food safety jobs to fill after
being caught using child contractors for overnight sanitation
services.

The jobs are open because federal Judge John M. Gerrard has signed
a temporary restraining order against Packers Sanitation Services
Inc. LTD, which contracts with JBS to provide children for
"cleaning and sanitation services." The order explicitly concerns
JBS Foods in Grand Island, NE, and Worthington, MN, according to
foodsafetynews.com.

Packers Sanitation also provides cleaners for Turkey Valley Farms
in Marshall, MN.

The evidence upon which the court order is based was provided by
U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh, the report relays.  His
DOL investigators built their case using school records and
executed search warrants at JBS and Packers Sanitation facilities,
the report says.

"The Secretary's investigators interviewed children who reported
working for Packers Sanitation under the age of 16," the court
order said, the report discloses.

The children told DOL about working long hours or overnight shifts,
the report relays.  Others reported working on power-driven
machines or on the kill floor, the report notes.

"Investigators surveilling and searching the facilities also
observed workers who based on their size and appearance were likely
underage," the order adds, the report says.

DOL has confidential informants that report many child laborers are
involved who are working under the same conditions, the report
discloses.

The Secretary also told the court that Packers Sanitation has
attempted to interfere with the department's investigation, the
report relays.

In granting the Temporary Restraining Oder, the Judge said: "the
probability" is that DOL will succeed on the merits. A Packers
Sanitation corporate officer with authority to speak for the
company is ordered to appear at 11 a.m. on Nov. 23 in federal court
in Lincoln, NE, the report relays.

At that time, Judge Gerrard will decide whether to extend, modify,
or dissolve the order, the report notes.

The Fair Labor Standards prohibits an employer from employing "any
oppressive child labor in commerce or in production of goods for
commerce or in any enterprise engaged in commerce or in the
production of foods for commerce," the report relays.

"Oppressive child labor" includes any child under 16 years of age
or between 16 and 18 years of age in any occupation, the Secretary
declares to be particularly hazardous or detrimental to the
children's well-being, the report notes.

The Secretary has declared several occupations in the operation of
power-driven meat-processing machines and occupations involving
slaughter and meat and poultry packing, processing, and rendering
to be hazardous and detrimental to children between 16 and 18, the
report relays.

The Secretary also limits when children can work, the report
discloses.

"The Court has little difficulty concluding that any ongoing use of
child labor constitutes irreparable harm to the children involved,"
the Judge added, the report relays.

The report notes that the temporary ruling includes:

-- The Secretary's TRO is granted.

-- A "cease and refrain" order is imposed on Packers Sanitation,
prohibiting the employment of any oppressive child labor.

-- Packers Sanitation must comply with DOL demands for
information.

-- Packers Sanitation must preserve evidence.

-- Packers Sanitation is enjoined from instructing employees not
to speak to DOL investigators.

-- Orders for Packers Sanitation apply to their officers, agents,
servants, employees, and attorneys.

DOL's investigation of the JBS child employment practices in
Nebraska got underway on or about Aug. 24, 2022, the report adds.

                          About JBS SA

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America in
August 2021, S&P Global Ratings revised the global scale outlook on
JBS S.A. (JBS) and its fully owned subsidiary JBS USA Lux S.A. (JBS
USA) to positive from stable and affirmed its 'BB+' issuer credit
rating. The recovery expectations remain unchanged, and S&P
affirmed the 'BB+' ratings on the senior unsecured notes and the
'BBB' ratings on the secured term loans.

CONSOLIDATED BAKERIES: Reports Loss of Over $10 Million
-------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that manufacturer of baked products Consolidated
Bakeries Jamaica is reporting that it made more losses in its third
quarter ended September.

Losses for the three months was valued at $14.5 million versus
losses of $2.6 million for the similar period last year, according
to RJR News.

Revenues for the company was $56.25 million more than the
comparative period in 2021, the report notes.

Revenues for the period was $322.8 million, the report relays.

Last year Consolidated Bakeries made $266.6 million, the report
discloses.

A rise in global wheat prices contributed to the company's
performance, with the cost of raw material jumping to levels which
affected product prices, the report adds.

OPERADORA DE SITES: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Rating, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB+' and 'mxAA-' global scale and
national scale ratings on Mexican independent tower operator,
Operadora de Sites Mexicanos, S.A.B. de C.V. (Opsimex). At the same
time, S&P revised its downside outlook trigger for Opsimex to 5.5x
adjusted debt to EBITDA, while anticipating it will maintain
leverage below such level throughout its expansion.

S&P's stable outlook continues to reflect its expectations that the
company will maintain its operating efficiencies, increase cash
flow generation, and sustain stable leverage and adequate liquidity
in the next 12 months.

Over the past five years, Opsimex has been able to continuously
decrease leverage below 5.5x, while maintaining high expansion
investments to enlarge and improve its site network in Mexico.
During this period, the company's increasing EBITDA and funds from
operations (FFO) generation through a growing portfolio of assets
have broadly offset increases in consolidated financial debt
deriving from its investment requirements, as well as higher
leases, while Opsimex has also sought out alternative funding
sources, such as the IPO of its REIT Fibra Sites (FSITES; not
rated) in 2020. Moreover, under S&P's base-case scenario, S&P
expects the company's current growth trajectory will allow Opsimex
to maintain long-term stability of its leverage metrics and
adequate liquidity, despite maintaining sizable capital expenditure
(capex) due to its strategy to expand coverage throughout Mexico.

S&P said, "In our view, Opsimex benefits from its role as a market
leader among independent tower operators in Mexico, which results
in the company's ability to execute inflation-linked price
escalators and pass-through costs to its wireless clients, thereby
maintaining above-average profitability. As a result, our base-case
scenario considers that even if Opsimex requires incremental debt
to continue to invest in its expansion, its business structure
provides it with a high degree of visibility of steady EBITDA and
FFO growth, and consequently, stable credit metrics on a
weighted-average basis through the business cycle.

"Furthermore, the threshold revision is also supported by the
company's leading position as an incumbent in the Mexican market
for independent tower operators through its sizable regional site
portfolio, the long-term average tenor of its contracts, and a
close relationship with its main client and market leader among
domestic telecom operators, America Móvil (A-/Stable/--), which
allows it to benefit from the growth in local demand for wireless
telecommunications services and hinders a potential risk of
substitution by other independent tower operators. These factors
support our view of the company's predictability of credit metrics
and, in turn, our decision to provide more leverage tolerance for
the rating."

SITIOS LATINOAMERICA: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Issuer Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' issuer credit rating to
Sitios Latinoamerica S.A.B. de C.V. (Sitios Latam).

S&P said, "At the same time, we lowered our issue-level rating on
Sitios Latam's $1 billion senior notes due 2032 to 'BB+' from 'A-'
and removed the rating from CreditWatch with negative implications,
where it had been placed March 29, 2022. We also assigned our '4'
recovery rating to the company's notes, indicating our expectation
of average recovery (30%-50%).

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Sitios Latam will
adhere to a prudent financial policy that will support improved
credit metrics, and also mirrors the stable outlook on Brazil,
considering our assessment of the sovereign rating cap."

With an initial debt balance of about $2.6 billion, Sitios Latam's
debt-to-EBITDA ratio will be approximately 5.0x in 2022. However,
the company's commitment to financial discipline and to prioritize
deleveraging over shareholder returns should help bring this ratio
below 5.0x in less than 12 months. S&P said, "We expect Sitios
Latam will not pay dividends at least in the first three years of
operations. We also expect that it will fund the bulk of capital
investments to expand physical towers through internal cash flow."

S&P said, "Considering that Sitios Latam's year-end 2022 credit
metrics would be relatively weak for the current rating, in our
view a prudent financial policy, conservative risk management, and
effective cost controls are key factors in our assessment of the
company's financial risk profile. We also consider that Sitios
Latam could be somewhat sensitive to deviations in its revenue
growth trajectory, exchange rate fluctuations, and potential
efficiency disruptions. In particular, if revenue growth remains in
the low single digits or EBITDA margins fall below 86%, it could
delay the company's deleveraging plan. Therefore, a slower
improvement than we expect in cash flow and leverage metrics could
result in downside rating pressure."

America Movil S.A.B. de C.V. (AMX; A-/Stable/--;
mxAAA/Stable/mxA-1+) will be Sitios Latam's main customer,
representing more than 80% of consolidated revenues, through
operating subsidiaries that carry the Claro brand. We expect AMX's
data and video demand to drive growth for tower infrastructure,
particularly considering that AMX has close to 200 million wireless
subscribers in the markets where Sitios Latam operates. In
addition, recent 4G and 5G spectrum auctions in some key markets
for Sitios Latam will require increasing connectivity and higher
co-location activity across its tower assets.

Sitios Latam's revenue derives from long-term contracts of up to 10
years, with a renewal option for an additional 10 years, and that
are denominated in U.S. dollars in 12 out of the 15 markets where
the company operates. S&P said, "We see the stability and
predictability of cash flows as a key factor supporting Sitios
Latam's credit quality. Because AMX's spin-off of telecom towers
created Sitios Latam, we believe AMX has strong incentives to
remain a captive customer for the company. AMX already operates in
Sitios Latam's tower infrastructure, and the tower locations
contribute to AMX's leading position in the markets where it
operates." In addition, Sitios Latam and AMX will initially have
shareholders in common, which also provides incentives for both
entities to maintain a long-term business relationship.

Under the terms and conditions of the $1 billion senior notes due
2032, originally issued by AMX on April 4, 2022, upon completion of
its spin-off Sitios Latam has assumed all obligations under the
notes, and debtholders no longer have recourse to AMX. Therefore,
the notes now reflect the creditworthiness of Sitios Latam.

ESG credit indicators: E-2, S-2, G-2

S&P said, "ESG factors have no material influence on our credit
rating analysis of Sitios Latam. Considering that Sitios Latam's
core business will be operating telecom tower infrastructure, we
expect the company will monitor environmental factors, although it
hasn't defined specific targets yet. In our view, environmental
factors will be similar to those of industry peers. In addition, we
don't consider social factors to be material in the markets where
the company operates."

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Govt, Proman Aiming to Make T&T a Refuelling Hub
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Asha Javeed at Trinidad Express reports that Prime Minister Dr.
Keith Rowley said that T&T will explore a bunkering industry, based
on the use of methanol as a marine fuel.

He made this comment at the launch of Proman's methanol-fuelled
tanker, Stena Pro Patria, at the Hyatt Regency in Port of Spain,
according to Trinidad Express.

He said that T&T would seek to take advantage of its geographical
location, of being close to the Panama Canal by offering fuel
services for ships, the report notes.

In addition, he said Proman's ability to provide methanol fuel
would be viewed as part of T&T's climate change response, the
report relays.

He said Proman's position dovetailed with the Government's own
position on these two issues, the report says.

"We are one of the largest producers and exporters of methanol in
the world," Dr. Rowley said, the report notes. "What we are aiming
to do is to make T&T a major refuelling hub for ocean-going
vessels."

Proman's chief executive David Cassidy observed that Proman has
been pushing methanol as a fuel of the future, the report
discloses.

"Methanol will play a leading role in the energy transition. It is
the only alternative marine fuel currently available which
immediately cuts greenhouse gas emissions and removes other
unpleasant pollutions.  In addition to these immediate benefits, we
can also see a clear, commercially viable pathway to net zero.

"And as Trinidad and Tobago, the major producer and exporter of
methanol, this means that there's a huge opportunity for all of us
here to do that. It's an economic opportunity for sure. It's also a
skills opportunity," he said, the report discloses.

Cassidy noted that T&T is known around the world for the calibre of
its operational management expertise in the petrochemical sector
and "together we can help others with the next generation of low
carbon and renewable methanol plants," the report relays.

"There's also opportunity in the marine sector of the future, such
as our first group of cadets, right here at the University of
Trinidad and Tobago, and now travelling the world on board this
vessel, the Stena Pro Patria, broke through as well as on board our
growing feet of methanol powered ships," Cassidy said, the report
notes.

The ship was christened Nov. 22, the report relays.

The ship's godmother is Cassandra Patrick, whose late husband
Dennis Patrick, the vessel is named after, Patrick was the former
CEO of Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Limited (MHTL), the report
discloses.

The company noted that traditionally ship-naming ceremonies are
held at the shipyard, once the construction and sea trials are
completed and the vessel is ready to sail, the report relays.
However, they held the ceremony in Trinidad in recognition of
Patrick, the report notes.

Stena Pro Patria is a state-of-the-art methanol-fuelled tanker, the
first of an initial fleet of six methanol-fuelled ships owned by
Proman and Sweden's tanker operating company, Stena Bulk, the
report adds.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Welcomes Back Cruise Ships
---------------------------------------------
Andrea Perez-Sobers at Trinidad Express reports that Trinidad and
Tobago's tourism sector is set to receive a further boost in
economic activity with the start of the cruise season.

The first cruise ship to dock at the Scarborough port was the
Silver Moon of Silversea Cruises, which arrived at 7.30 a.m.,
carrying 528 passengers, according to Trinidad Express.

Tobago House of Assembly (THA) Tourism Secretary Tashia Burris, in
a Facebook post, said that the cruise season officially began with
the arrival of the vessel at the Scarborough Port, the report
notes.

"This will be the vessel's maiden call and it is estimated to bring
over 1,000 visitors to the island's shores. Guests were welcomed by
a variety of cultural performers, local artisans and other tourist
industry stakeholders," Burris wrote, the report relays.

She said the season is scheduled to extend to April 17, 2023, with
a number of maiden calls throughout, including the docking of the
Rhapsody of The Seas, the report discloses.

"As a destination, we look forward to welcoming cruise visitors
once again since the reopening of our borders post-pandemic,"
Burris added, notes the report.

Trinidad welcomed its first cruise ship, Ms Insignia from Oceania
Cruises, to the Port of Port of Spain. Tourism Trinidad (TTL) is
hosting an official ceremony to welcome the Rhapsody of the Seas
cruise liner, the report notes.

Speaking of the restart of the cruise season to the Express,
Charles Carvalho, manager of Carvalho's Agency, the local agent for
cruise ships, said he of all people is elated, because it has been
exactly 32 months T&T has been without any cruise ships, the report
relays.

"It is great to see the cruise liners coming back to our shores and
it also shows they did not forget about our country, after the 32
months absence. It's also an increase in financial earnings for the
various stakeholders, as well as generating much needed economic
activity in the tourism sector," Carvalho happily said, the report
notes.

While he said he was pleased that Rhapsody of the Seas vessel,
which is owned by Royal Caribbean, is back after some 20 years,
Carvalho said people need to be mindful, that in about two to three
years, the cruise companies will be upgrading to bigger ships,
which unfortunately would not be able to berth in T&T, the report
says.

"We are very fortunate that the docking points can accommodate the
medium-size ships. If we do not step up to the plate like other
Caribbean countries who have done infrastructure work to
accommodate the larger vessels, we can lose Royal Caribbean in two
years. T&T has to make accommodations now in order to stay in the
business long term, because Carnival cruise line is also building
bigger ships," he said, the report relays.

Speaking to reporters, Tourism Minister Randall Mitchell, said
while he did not have the exact number of tourists each cruise line
would bring, he said MSC Cruises may bring around 3,500-4,000 and
the Rhapsody of the Seas, 2,500-3,000, the report discloses.

"We have a very decent cruise season. Cruise season, of course,
starts November 1 all the way up until the end of March. So we look
forward to a very good cruise season," Mitchell acknowledged, the
report relays.

He said the Ministry of Health will also be involved as it relates
to "new ways in which the cruise ships deal with illness on board,"
the report notes.

Both Trinidad and Tobago will see a total of 71 cruise calls, with
28 arriving in Trinidad's Cruise Ship Complex in Port of Spain and
43 in the Scarborough and Charlotteville ports in Tobago, the
report says.

In these six months of the cruise season, it is expected that
around 126,962 passengers and 47,570 crew members will dock at the
ports of the twin islands, the report adds.
