Venezuelan Bank to Buy Some Banco Latino Assets: Banco Provincial, Venezuela’s largest bank, agreed to acquire some of the assets of Banco Latino, whose failure in January set off a national banking crisis.

Some of the assets of Banco Latino NV were placed in bankruptcy by a Curacao court on Jan. 19, three days after the Venezuelan government seized its Caracas-based parent.
