Eike Batista plans to contest a decision to pump up to $1bn of his own money into OGX, delivering a setback to investors in his cash-starved oil company. The former billionaire warned that if the dispute were not resolved within 60 days he would take the issue to the arbitration court of Brazil's stock exchange, according to a regulatory filing by OGX on Monday.

It blames the delay on the complexity of the deal, discussions on arrangements with the Bakries for payment, plus a simultaneous split between the family and their Indonesian partner Samin Tan, who would become the single largest investor in Bumi by buying the Bakrie stake."
http://gu.com/p/3tjcc/tw Foreign firms turn to FX swaps to fund Chinese operations: Multinational companies said that they could raise more money, more quickly and more cheaply by borrowing in dollars and swapping the money into yuan than if they borrowed directly in yuan through the offshore yuan-denominated bond (Dim Sum) market in Hong Kong.
