Jaime Reusche, vice president and senior analyst on Latin America at Moody’s Investors Service’s sovereign risk group, has warned that Mexico’s state-owned oil company Pemex could risk becoming a burden for the public treasury if it does not succeed in reducing the cost of access to the financial markets and increases oil production. In a comment,
Reusche noted that the Mexican government’s plan to transfer between M$100bn and M$150bn (US$5.29bn-7.94bn) from the budgetary income stabilisation fund (FEIP) to cover Pemex’s debt, as well as a US$3bn tax waiver over the next four years, should allow the company to cover its financing requirements this year.
