<span id=\"midArticle_0\"/>
<p>The oilsands firm, which is backed by Chinese investors including insurer China Life Insurance (Group), was due to start taking orders on Monday, but has postponed its roadshow indefinitely, the Wall Street Journal said, citing two people familiar with the deal.</p>

<p>BOGOTA, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Colombia's central bank on Friday re-established buying at least $20 million daily for at least three straight months to help stem gains in the currency amid pressure from exporters.</p>
<span id="midArticle_3"/>
<p>Emerging market nations such as Colombia have faced a flood of cheap money in recent months as near-zero interest rates in developed markets prompt investors to seek higher yields, pushing up their currencies and strengthening their economies.</p>
<span id="midArticle_4"/>
<p>The peso has firmed almost 7 percent this year, making it one of the best performing currencies among the world's 36 most-traded, partly thanks to strong foreign direct investment inflows.</p>
<span id="midArticle_5"/>
<p>The dollar purchase program, which previously ran through September 2011, would re-start on Monday, the bank said in a statement.</p>
<span id="midArticle_6"/>
<p>Policy makers on Monday raised the benchmark lending rate a quarter point to 5 percent to slow inflation and cool bank lending, bringing complaints from exporters of flowers and bananas that the move would attract additional capital, boost the peso and damage their business.</p>
<span id="midArticle_7"/>
<p>"The rate hike is an invitation for speculative capital to come to the country in higher volumes, sharpening the revaluation process," the flower and banana growers industries said in a joint statement on Wednesday.</p>
<span id="midArticle_8"/>
<p>"Most worrying is that the measure to hike the interest rate has not even come accompanied by some exchange rate intervention given the space that exists to increase reserves."</p>
<span id="midArticle_9"/>
<p>Banana and flower exporters are among the biggest employers of rural Colombians and lead a lobby of exporters that have been the most vocal seeking a weaker currency after as many as 20,000 jobs in the flower industry have been lost in the last four years which they blame on the strong peso.</p>
<span id="midArticle_10"/>
<p>In a bid to stem the peso's rise, the government said on Monday it would not bring in dollars for financing in 2012 and would keep $1 billion in dividends from state oil company Ecopetrol, and another $1.2 billion in royalties, abroad.</p>
<span id="midArticle_11"/>
<p>The government has also said it would avoid imposing capital controls to prevent pressure on the currency and instead aim for long-term measures and micro-structural reforms.</p>
<span id="midArticle_12"/>
<p>Colombia has in the past used tools like lowering taxes to boost business competitiveness. Back in 2007 it established unpopular capital controls to deter speculative capital entering the market. They have since been lifted.</p>
<span id="midArticle_13"/>
<p>Almost $15 billion in foreign direct investment flowed into the Andean nation last year, mostly in the oil and mining sectors, as military blows against drug-funded insurgent groups made doing business easier and safer.</p>
<span id="midArticle_14"/>
<p>The bank's dollar purchases may head off further gains in the peso following the U.S. Federal Reserve's pledge last week to keep the benchmark U.S. rate low through 2014, sending investors to seek higher returns in countries like Colombia.

<span id="midArticle_0"/>
<p>* Baer heads antitrust practice group at Arnold & Porter</p>
<span id="midArticle_1"/>
<p>* Baer would replace Sharis Pozen at DOJ's antitrust unit</p>
<span id="midArticle_2"/>
<p>By Sarah N. Lynch</p>
<span id="midArticle_3"/>
<p>WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - William Baer, an attorney with the law firm Arnold and Porter LLP, was nominated by President Barack Obama on Friday to head the Justice Department's antitrust division.</p>
<span id="midArticle_4"/>
<p>Baer, who is the chair of Arnold and Porter's Antitrust Practice Group, also previously headed the Federal Trade Commission's competition division when it stopped a merger between Staples and Office Depot in 1997.</p>
<span id="midArticle_5"/>
<p>He will replace Sharis Pozen, the acting assistant attorney general for antitrust, who plans to step down at the end of April. Pozen succeeded Christine Varney, who left last August.</p>
<span id="midArticle_6"/>
<p>Baer's nomination, which was widely expected, still must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.</p>
<span id="midArticle_7"/>
<p>The antitrust division of the Justice Department reviews mergers to make sure they comply with antitrust laws, and it also prosecutes price-fixing.</p>
<span id="midArticle_8"/>
<p>Last year, the division successfully opposed AT&T Inc's $39 billion deal to acquire wireless rival T-Mobile USA , and in May it threatened to sue if NASDAQ OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange Inc proceeded with a bid for NYSE Euronext.</p>
<span id="midArticle_9"/>
<p>Baer is seen as someone who would continue the present policies of the Justice Department's antitrust office.</p>
<span id="midArticle_10"/>
<p>The division's key outstanding cases include the purchase of Nortel's patent assets by a consortium led by Apple, and Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility. It also has a number of criminal price-fixing probes.</p>

<p>He will replace Sharis Pozen, the acting assistant attorney general for antitrust, who plans to step down at the end of April. Pozen succeeded Christine Varney, who left last August.</p>
<span id="midArticle_6"/>
<p>Baer's nomination, which was widely expected, still must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.</p>
<span id="midArticle_7"/>
<p>The antitrust division of the Justice Department reviews mergers to make sure they comply with antitrust laws, and it also prosecutes price-fixing.</p>
<span id="midArticle_8"/>
<p>Last year, the division successfully opposed AT&T Inc's $39 billion deal to acquire wireless rival T-Mobile USA , and in May it threatened to sue if NASDAQ OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange Inc proceeded with a bid for NYSE Euronext.</p>
<span id="midArticle_9"/>
<p>Baer is seen as someone who would continue the present policies of the Justice Department's antitrust office.</p>
<span id="midArticle_10"/>
<p>The division's key outstanding cases include the purchase of Nortel's patent assets by a consortium led by Apple, and Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility. It also has a number of criminal price-fixing probes.</p>

<p>* Investors seeking higher yields outside developed economies (Adds detail on government measures)</p>
<span id="midArticle_1"/>
<p>By Helen Murphy and <a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/search/journalist.php?edition=uk&n=jack.kimball&">Jack Kimball</a></p>
<span id="midArticle_2"/>
<p>BOGOTA, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Colombia's central bank on Friday re-established buying at least $20 million daily for at least three straight months to help stem gains in the currency amid pressure from exporters.</p>
<span id="midArticle_3"/>
<p>Emerging market nations such as Colombia have faced a flood of cheap money in recent months as near-zero interest rates in developed markets prompt investors to seek higher yields, pushing up their currencies and strengthening their economies.</p>
<span id="midArticle_4"/>
<p>The peso has firmed almost 7 percent this year, making it one of the best performing currencies among the world's 36 most-traded, partly thanks to strong foreign direct investment inflows.</p>
<span id="midArticle_5"/>
<p>The dollar purchase program, which previously ran through September 2011, would re-start on Monday, the bank said in a statement.</p>
<span id="midArticle_6"/>
<p>Policy makers on Monday raised the benchmark lending rate a quarter point to 5 percent to slow inflation and cool bank lending, bringing complaints from exporters of flowers and bananas that the move would attract additional capital, boost the peso and damage their business.</p>
<span id="midArticle_7"/>
<p>"The rate hike is an invitation for speculative capital to come to the country in higher volumes, sharpening the revaluation process," the flower and banana growers industries said in a joint statement on Wednesday.</p>
<span id="midArticle_8"/>
<p>"Most worrying is that the measure to hike the interest rate has not even come accompanied by some exchange rate intervention given the space that exists to increase reserves."</p>
<span id="midArticle_9"/>
<p>Banana and flower exporters are among the biggest employers of rural Colombians and lead a lobby of exporters that have been the most vocal seeking a weaker currency after as many as 20,000 jobs in the flower industry have been lost in the last four years which they blame on the strong peso.</p>
<span id="midArticle_10"/>
<p>In a bid to stem the peso's rise, the government said on Monday it would not bring in dollars for financing in 2012 and would keep $1 billion in dividends from state oil company Ecopetrol, and another $1.2 billion in royalties, abroad.</p>
<span id="midArticle_11"/>
<p>The government has also said it would avoid imposing capital controls to prevent pressure on the currency and instead aim for long-term measures and micro-structural reforms.</p>
<span id="midArticle_12"/>
<p>Colombia has in the past used tools like lowering taxes to boost business competitiveness. Back in 2007 it established unpopular capital controls to deter speculative capital entering the market. They have since been lifted.</p>
<span id="midArticle_13"/>
<p>Almost $15 billion in foreign direct investment flowed into the Andean nation last year, mostly in the oil and mining sectors, as military blows against drug-funded insurgent groups made doing business easier and safer.</p>
<span id="midArticle_14"/>
<p>The bank's dollar purchases may head off further gains in the peso following the U.S. Federal Reserve's pledge last week to keep the benchmark U.S. rate low through 2014, sending investors to seek higher returns in countries like Colombia.

<p><span class="focusParagraph">* Baer's nomination to antitrust division widely expected</span></p>
<span id="midArticle_0"/>
<p>* Baer heads antitrust practice group at Arnold & Porter</p>
<span id="midArticle_1"/>
<p>* Baer would replace Sharis Pozen at DOJ's antitrust unit</p>
<span id="midArticle_2"/>
<p>By Sarah N. Lynch</p>
<span id="midArticle_3"/>
<p>WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - William Baer, an attorney with the law firm Arnold and Porter LLP, was nominated by President Barack Obama on Friday to head the Justice Department's antitrust division.</p>
<span id="midArticle_4"/>
<p>Baer, who is the chair of Arnold and Porter's Antitrust Practice Group, also previously headed the Federal Trade Commission's competition division when it stopped a merger between Staples and Office Depot in 1997.</p>
<span id="midArticle_5"/>
<p>He will replace Sharis Pozen, the acting assistant attorney general for antitrust, who plans to step down at the end of April. Pozen succeeded Christine Varney, who left last August.</p>
<span id="midArticle_6"/>
<p>Baer's nomination, which was widely expected, still must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.</p>
<span id="midArticle_7"/>
<p>The antitrust division of the Justice Department reviews mergers to make sure they comply with antitrust laws, and it also prosecutes price-fixing.</p>
<span id="midArticle_8"/>
<p>Last year, the division successfully opposed AT&T Inc's $39 billion deal to acquire wireless rival T-Mobile USA , and in May it threatened to sue if NASDAQ OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange Inc proceeded with a bid for NYSE Euronext.</p>
<span id="midArticle_9"/>
<p>Baer is seen as someone who would continue the present policies of the Justice Department's antitrust office.</p>
<span id="midArticle_10"/>
<p>The division's key outstanding cases include the purchase of Nortel's patent assets by a consortium led by Apple, and Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility. It also has a number of criminal price-fixing probes.</p>

<span id="midArticle_0"/>
<p>* Baer heads antitrust practice group at Arnold & Porter</p>
<span id="midArticle_1"/>
<p>* Baer would replace Sharis Pozen at DOJ's antitrust unit</p>
<span id="midArticle_2"/>
<p>By Sarah N. Lynch</p>
<span id="midArticle_3"/>
<p>WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - William Baer, an attorney with the law firm Arnold and Porter LLP, was nominated by President Barack Obama on Friday to head the Justice Department's antitrust division.</p>
<span id="midArticle_4"/>
<p>Baer, who is the chair of Arnold and Porter's Antitrust Practice Group, also previously headed the Federal Trade Commission's competition division when it stopped a merger between Staples and Office Depot in 1997.</p>
<span id="midArticle_5"/>
<p>He will replace Sharis Pozen, the acting assistant attorney general for antitrust, who plans to step down at the end of April. Pozen succeeded Christine Varney, who left last August.</p>
<span id="midArticle_6"/>
<p>Baer's nomination, which was widely expected, still must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.</p>
<span id="midArticle_7"/>
<p>The antitrust division of the Justice Department reviews mergers to make sure they comply with antitrust laws, and it also prosecutes price-fixing.</p>
<span id="midArticle_8"/>
<p>Last year, the division successfully opposed AT&T Inc's $39 billion deal to acquire wireless rival T-Mobile USA , and in May it threatened to sue if NASDAQ OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange Inc proceeded with a bid for NYSE Euronext.</p>
<span id="midArticle_9"/>
<p>Baer is seen as someone who would continue the present policies of the Justice Department's antitrust office.</p>
<span id="midArticle_10"/>
<p>The division's key outstanding cases include the purchase of Nortel's patent assets by a consortium led by Apple, and Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility. It also has a number of criminal price-fixing probes.</p>
<span id="midArticle_11"/>
