Fitch Ratings has published a new report on the 2016 Outlook for the
Latin American Oil and Gas sector.
Fitch expects pressure from lower crude prices to continue negatively
affecting equity prices and credit spreads for Latin American
integrated, exploration and production (E&P), and drilling and service
companies. Fitch's Rating Outlooks for companies in the region are
negative, primarily due to the deeper and longer-than-anticipated
downturn in the industry as well as macroeconomic headwinds in the
region. Fitch expects this pressure to continue affecting high-yield E&P
and services issuers more severely.
The full report 'Outlook 2016: Latin American Oil and Gas' is available
at 'www.fitchratings.com'.
