Market Chatter: JPMorgan, Jefferies Eye Caracas Visits Amid Venezuela Debt Revival

MT Newswires Live06-05 03:16

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) and Jefferies Financial Group (JEF) are organizing trips to Caracas as foreign investor interest in Venezuela's economic reopening and debt restructuring grows, Bloomberg reported.

Jefferies executives traveled to Venezuela this week to meet with local banking executives, with a return visit under consideration, while JPMorgan is working to arrange a visit possibly alongside clients, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

All executives involved in Jefferies' visit were cleared by the bank's compliance department, the report added.

Venezuela has hired Hogan Lovells as legal counsel and Centerview Partners as financial adviser for what could be one of the largest sovereign debt restructurings since the Greek crisis, Bloomberg said.

JPMorgan and Jefferies did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
