Total financial debt at the state oil firm fell 22.63% year over year to 77.6 billion US dollars at the end of the quarter.[^2] Pemex recorded a 16,400 million peso foreign exchange loss over the period, resulting from peso depreciation against the US dollar.[^3] Crude production dropped to 1308 thousand barrels per day in September 2026, the lowest level on record.[^4]

National refining system throughput reached 1.143 million barrels per day over the quarter, the highest level recorded since 2014.[^5]
