Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) has returned to Mexico’s local debt market with a roughly $1.8 billion bond issuance, marking a notable step in the revival of domestic corporate debt issuance. The move comes as Pemex reports historically high petroleum product output while still facing scrutiny from Moody’s over its heavy fiscal burden on Mexico’s public finances. The transaction is significant for both Pemex’s refinancing strategy and the depth and risk appetite of Mexico’s local capital markets.
