Mexico plans to cut fiscal support for Pemex's debt payments to 81.1 billion
pesos (~$4.8bn) in 2027, nearly a 70% reduction from this year’s 263.5 billion
pesos. Last year Mexico included a $14bn capital injection for Pemex in the 2026
budget to repay debt and completed a $10bn buyback to retire debt maturing this
year. Pemex's latest financials show about $5bn of debt maturing in 2027. While
the injections eased near-term funding pressure, support measures mask
structural problems at the company, including bloated staffing and declining
output from aging fields.
