The federal government plans to contribute 81,100 million pesos in capital to Pemex in 2027. The money would help pay debt amortizations and bank loans from previous years, according to the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit's General Criteria of Economic Policy for 2027.[^7]

The Mexican Institute of Finance Executives (IMEF) considers Pemex will require larger direct government transfers than originally planned for 2027 to operate.[^3] Fitch stated that Pemex represents an additional risk to the public budget, noting that the decline in refining production and the subsequent import of costly fuels demonstrate that the operational recovery of the oil company remains a pending issue.[^4]

President Claudia Sheinbaum said the federal government is developing a scheme that cross-references data from Pemex, the tax authority SAT, the Financial Intelligence Unit and the prosecutor's office to detect fuel transactions that do not match reported purchase and sale volumes.[^1] Between January and June 2026, Pemex identified 82 illegal taps used to extract hydrocarbons from pipelines crossing Coahuila.[^6] Over 2,000 illegal taps have been disabled in Coahuila over the last 20 years.[^2]

Only 1.5 centavos of every peso of Mexico's 2027 public spending will go to climate adaptation and mitigation, while Pemex would receive 4.2 times more.[^8]
