His government had assumed part of the amortizations of the state company to leave resources available for investments. But last year, the oil company resumed them in view of the increase in its income due to the high international prices of crude oil.
The general director of Pemex, Octavio Romero, affirmed on Wednesday during the same press conference that they have been in conversations with the Ministry of Finance to see how they resolve the amortizations for the first quarter, which amounted to between 5,500 and 6,000 million dollars.
In December, the official had already talked about it when explaining that the payments in the first months of the year are strong. Another company executive explained that they were around 4,000 million dollars.
Pemex has a financial debt of about 105,000 million dollars.
