Merrill Lynch Says Outlook For Latam
Banks More Negative

Dow Jones Newswires

MEXICO CITY -- New York investment bank Merrill Lynch
downgraded Friday the outlook for Latin America's banking sector based
on probable deterioration in macroeconomic indicators as well as
continued weakness in global capital markets.

"Coupled with more pessimism towards emerging markets in general, we
think that trading multiples are bound to decline sharply in the intermediate
term," bank analysts Rodrigo Quintanilla and Alejandro Schecter said in a
note to investors.

The current environment presents "fundamental challenges for the banks in
the region" in the form of higher interest rates, potential currency
weakness, slowing loan growth opportunities and the potential drop in the
value of the banks' fixed income and equity portfolios, they said.
