Consistenti vendite di bond in pesos sul mercato interno ed in valuta sui mercati internazionali per Pemex, e significativo è il programma di emissioni complessivo della società, impegnata a raccogliere 70 mld in MXN sul mercato locale nei prossimi 5 anni e 10,5 mld $ sui mercati quest'anno per finanziare il suo programma di investimenti volto a rilanciare la produzione petrolifera, in forte declino, in un contesto in cui le risorse disponibili sono venute a ridursi a causa del drastico calo dei prezzi petroliferi.
Per ora le emissioni stanno riscuotendo un buon successo.
Pemex Sells 10 Billion Pesos of Floating, Fixed Bonds (Update1)
By Valerie Rota and Andres R. Martinez
April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleos Mexicanos, the nation’s state-run oil monopoly, sold 10 billion pesos ($719.4 million) of floating-rate and fixed-rate bonds in Mexico as it seeks to finance its largest capital budget ever.
Pemex, as the Mexico City-based company is known, sold 6 billion pesos of three-year bonds to yield 1 percentage point over the 28-day TIIE rate and 4 billion pesos of seven-year bonds to yield 9.15 percent, according to a statement from the stock exchange.
Pemex registered in February to sell 70 billion pesos of bonds during the next five years in the local market. The company plans to raise $10.5 billion this year by issuing local and international bonds and taking loans from commercial banks to pay for its $19.5 billion capital spending budget.
Pemex needs the cash to make up for a drop in revenue as output declines at the fastest rate since 1942 and after prices for oil sank 67 percent from a record $147.27 a barrel in July.
The sale was oversubscribed by more than two times the 10 billion pesos that were offered, Pemex said in an e-mailed statement.
“The success of this operation sends a positive message to the local debt market amid high volatility,” the company said.
Pemex sold $2 billion of 10-year notes at 8.25 percent in January to “test the waters,” Chief Executive Officer
Jesus Reyes Heroles said in January. The bonds sold at more than 200 basis points above notes sold by Mexico in December.
Citigroup Inc.’s Banamex unit, HSBC Holdings Plc’s local unit and Banco Santander SA’s local unit managed the sale. Standard & Poor’s rated the bonds MXAAA, the highest level on the local scale.
