By PATRICIA KOWSMANN
LISBON—Portugal's statistics agency said it plans to make "accounting changes" in a report to be submitted to the European Union's statistics agency by week's end, a revision that could indicate a wider 2010 budget deficit and which would further undermine the credibility of the country's embattled government.

S&P: Why CLO Market Performance Continues To Improve
Why CLO Market Performance Continues To Improve (00:08:45 min)
Performance in the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market continues to improve, as evidenced by several positive factors. Notably, we upgraded over 30% of our CLO book in the last six to nine months. Of the CLO tranches that we rate -- roughly 4,400 -- only a few are rated 'CC' and below, and more upgrades are possible. For 2011, we expect CLO issuance of roughly $15 billion, and possibly $25 billion if significant improvement is sustained. In this podcast, Director Zachary Wolf provides an overview of CLO market activity thus far this year.
