What are PEMEXs 2010 Financing Plans?
PEMEX’s financing program for 2010 reflects an increase in issuances from U.S. $9.9 billion in 2009 to approximately U.S. $14.0 billion, in order to pre-finance investment activities for 2011, and to take advantage of recently observed market opportunities. In addition, amortizations have increased from U.S. $7.1 billion to approximately U.S. $9.0 billion in 2010 and estimated final cash has increased from U.S. $5.9 billion in 2009 to approximately U.S. $7.0 billion 2010. As of September 30, 2010, PEMEX had obtained financing for approximately U.S. $10.0 billion and expected to obtain approximately U.S. $ 4.8 billion from Export Credit Agencies (ECAs), contractor financing and bank loans. Moreover, additional capital could be raised in capital markets (either local or international), if market opportunities were available.
