Emerging debt-Brazil climbs on rosy financial data

www.forbes.com Reuters, 01.30.03, 12:33 PM ET By Susan Schneider

NEW YORK, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Brazilian sovereign bonds climbed nearly 1 percent on Thursday, lending support to the broader market, as a record primary budget surplus heightened investor confidence in the financial health of Latin America's largest economy. Brazil's share of J.P. Morgan's Emerging Market Bond Index Plus added 0.75 percent in terms of daily returns, underpinning a 0.19 percent gain in the broader index. Brazil's benchmark C bond <BRAZILC=RR> picked up 0.625 points to 68.375 bid. Brazil's bonds clawed their way back from a spate of negative days after the government reported a 2002 primary budget surplus of 52.4 billion reais ($14.7 billion), a figure that put the nation well ahead of its yearly International Monetary Fund target for the fourth time in a row. The surplus was 4.06 percent of gross domestic product. Brazil was also buoyed by expectations that Finance Minister Antonio Palocci will raise Brazil's 2003 primary fiscal surplus target from last year's goal of 3.75 percent. The move would fire investor confidence by further confirming rookie President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is sincere about keeping public finances solid. "After the happiness of the election and the good things (Lula) said right after the election, it was time to follow through on some of the policies, and he's starting to do that," said an emerging debt trader. Uncertainty about a possible U.S.-led military strike on Iraq weighed on Brazil's debt and the broader market in recent sessions as investors fret an attack would batter an already tepid U.S. economy, which would in turn weigh heavily on Latin America. The war worries carved a chunk out of the rally Brazilian bonds saw at the turn of the year, when investors snapped up the debt on optimism for Lula's pledges to keep a tight rein on finances and pursue key structural reforms. Lula roiled markets for much of 2002 as Wall Street feared his inexperience in government and pledges to bolster social programs would lead to economic mismanagement and an eventual default on the debt. While investors have warmed to Lula, they are keeping a keen eye on his reform agenda, particularly a proposed overhaul of the costly pension system, said analysts. "From what we can see now, (the pension reform) appears to be much more significant than what we had seen from the former government," said Knut Langholm, a senior vice president at State Street Research and Management Co. "I think the market remains optimistic on that front, even though it will be subject to some controversy because it will create winners and losers," said Langholm. He added that without a meaningful reform, Brazil would need to maintain a primary surplus target of 5.5 percent of GDP or more. Venezuelan bonds, meanwhile, took a breather from two straight days of solid gains. The nation's share of the EMBI-Plus inched 0.75 percent lower, with the DCB bond <VENDCB=RR> slipping 0.5 points to 72.75 bid. Venezuelan debt made a fierce move higher this week as a two-month-old general strike, staged by foes of President Hugo Chavez in a bid to force his resignation or new elections, showed signs of weakening. With Chavez utilizing replacement workers and troops in an effort to break the strike, oil output has climbed in recent days, allaying fears that a sharp, protracted drop in the government's chief source of revenues would leave it without the cash to pay its debts. In addition to the partial oil output recovery, the resumption of normal hours by private banks and the reopening of some restaurants and stores have also signaled the strike's grip is losing hold. But while investors are hunting to pick up Venezuelan debt, the recent price jump means they are not too tempted to do any buying, said the emerging debt trader. "I think there is some latent demand -- there are still a lot of people who don't have Venezuela on their books and are going to need to buy it," said the trader. "They're looking for dips, and they're probably not going to get it unless there is significant bad news." Among other emerging nations, Peru launched a $500 million, 12-year global bond on Thursday morning, a sale that was set to price later in the session.

Economic warfare's new resistance

www.vheadline.com Posted: Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 8:55:36 AM By: Matthew Riemer

International commentarist Matthew Riemer writes: This past Sunday, January 26, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez greeted a reported 100,000 supporters at the third annual World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil; this year, the forum was appropriately titled "Life after Capitalism."

Such a title is appropriate because of the transformational throes and growing pains that world society and the global economy are now entering. As globalization's reach expands and its pace quickens, so too does the resistance and crisis. The events in Venezuela over the past year are the perfect example. They represent the new economic warfare formula whereby the masses of a country (typically overwhelmingly poor) and their leader resist international forces usually comprised of the World Bank/International Monetary Fund, multinationals, and incredibly wealthy private investors.

These "international forces" are represented locally by the regional elite: bankers, union heads, wealthy businessmen, and the upper-middle class. Their goal is to de-nationalize industry and replace it with privatization, thus making accessible to foreign investment the whole of a country's resources. These resources are then developed with foreign money using cheap domestic labor while the products are almost exclusively exported.

This results in the inherent wealth (resources, human potential) of a country being siphoned off to the international "market" while the native population reaps no reward from their country's own wealth or their own labor.

  • Such was the case in Argentina. Such is the case in Venezuela. And Brazil could be next.

Venezuela's biggest prize is the state-run (nationalized) oil company, PDVSA. The reasons why should be obvious: PDVSA is the country's largest company and employer; Venezuela is a member of OPEC, and the only one in the Western hemisphere at that; Venezuela is the world's fifth largest oil exporter and third largest to the United States; the oil industry accounts for a full third of the Venezuelan GDP.

Control of the PDVSA means not only incredible control of the fortunes of Venezuela but also control of the world oil market. A Venezuelan economy in the hands of the United States and their proxy financial institutions is crucial to the life of globalization as Washington, with its newfound doctrine of unprecedented militarism and unilateralism, continues to destabilize both the world economy and social fabric.

Recently, opposition forces staged a sleepover protest on a section of one of Caracas' highways. The claims that the opposition is solely made up of the pampered upper-middle class is certainly born out by the photos from the event: the scene looked like some kind of rock concert festival held in the United States or Europe where a sea of brightly colored tents, sleeping bags, and inflatable mattresses are all the eye can see. This in a country where about 75 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. Yet "the opposition" looked like they'd just visited their local REI or EMS outdoor retailer.

But Chavez is still holding tight. He survived the coup last April, even after temporarily being removed from power. Now, with the current work stoppage about to enter its third month next week, there are signs that the opposition is weakening and that Chavez will hold on for yet another round.

Such resistance should be quite indicative to globalizing forces of the human spirit's newfound resolve. One can only hope that the global elite, like so many times in the past, won't let their frustration get the better of them when subtler methods fail and resort to overt and bloody repression.

Venezuelan oil output stalls at 1 mln bpd-strikers

www.forbes.com Reuters, 01.30.03, 8:21 AM ET

CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Striking Venezuelan oil workers said a recovery in oil output stalled on Thursday around 1 million barrels per day (bpd), or a third of pre-strike levels, while the government said it had risen to 1.4 million. The two sides are locked in a bitter battle for power over the world's fifth largest oil exporter, and have diverging estimates of activity levels at the country's oilfields, refineries and export terminals. Striking employees of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) said in a daily report that output stood at 1.055 million bpd on Thursday, almost unchanged since Tuesday when it first topped the million mark. Energy and Mines Minister Rafael Ramirez said on Wednesday night that it had risen to 1.427 million bpd, up from the 1.320 million bpd reported by Chavez Sunday. This compared with pre-strike levels of 3.1 million bpd in November. "We are in a process of constantly increasing our oil production," Ramirez said on Wednesday night. Ramirez put the current level of exports at 544,000 bpd. "We have a constant flow of exports which is important for the country's foreign currency income," he added. The government has fired more than 5,000 PDVSA employees and has been using troops and replacement crews to try to break the strike. It has consistently been providing higher output estimates than the opposition. But both sides report a marked recovery in production since it hit a low of 150,000 bpd in December.
