New Partnerships

On December 13, 2016, the Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos (National Hydrocarbons Commission) published on the Diario Oficial de la Federación (Mexican Official Gazette) the results of the bidding process referred to as Round 1.4, through which a consortium consisting of Pemex Exploration and Production, Chevron Energía de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (or Chevron Energía), a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, and INPEX Corporation was awarded an exploration and extraction contract for a field located in the Perdido Fold Belt in the Gulf of Mexico. Chevron Energía will act as the operator for the block, holding a 33.3334% of the interest in the consortium, while Pemex Exploration and Production and INPEX Corporation, through a Mexican subsidiary, each hold a 33.3333% interest. We refer to this consortium as the Perdido Fold Belt Consortium.

On the same date, the National Hydrocarbons Commission also published the results of the Trion block farmout, which selected BHP Billiton Petróleo Operaciones de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. (or BHP Billiton Mexico), a local unit of BHP Billiton Plc, as the partner for Pemex Exploration and Production for activities in the deep water exploration block known as Trión. Pursuant to the terms of its bid, BHP Billiton Mexico will make a U.S. $789.6 million contribution to the partnership in exchange for a 60% participating interest in the Trión block. BHP Billiton will be the operator of this partnership, which we refer to as the Trión Block Partnership.

The terms of the model contracts published by the National Hydrocarbons Commission for each of the Perdido Fold Belt Consortium and the Trión Block Partnership require that Pemex Exploration and Production, through Petróleos Mexicanos or a subsidiary thereof, provide a corporate guarantee in favor of the National Hydrocarbons Commission in an amount proportional to its participating interest in each contract.

Refining

Liberalization of Fuel Prices in Mexico

Historically, the Mexican Government has imposed controls on the prices of gasoline and diesel. See “Item 4—Business Overview—Refining—Pricing Decrees” of the Form 20-F for more information on these controls.

In accordance with transitory article 12 of the Ley de Ingresos de la Federación para el Ejercicio Fiscal de 2017 (Federal Revenue Law for the Fiscal Year 2017), during 2017 and 2018, the Comisión Reguladora de Energía (Energy Regulatory Commission), with the opinion of the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica (Federal Economic Antitrust Commission), will issue guidelines and schedules relating to the processes to be used to determine prices of gasoline and diesel, allowing the prices of gasoline and diesel to be based on market conditions. As a result, fuel prices in Mexico are expected to fluctuate based on international market prices, the cost of transportation, storage and processing, profit margins of retail services stations, applicable taxes and the peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate, among other factors.

The Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (Ministry of Finance and Public Credit) will determine the maximum gasoline and diesel prices to be applied in each of the regions of Mexico where prices are not determined based on market conditions.

On December 27, 2016, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit announced maximum gasoline and diesel prices to be applied in each of the regions of Mexico where prices are not determined based on market conditions, effective January 1, 2017, which caused an increase of gasoline prices of up to 20% in certain parts of Mexico. This increase has led to widespread protests across Mexico and blockades to some of our facilities. As a result of the demonstrations, we have experienced difficulties accessing some of our refined products supply terminals and have reported gasoline shortages at retail services stations in at least three Mexican states. We have contacted the local governments of these states for support to regain access to our facilities.

The maximum average prices of gasoline and diesel prices set by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit effective January 1, 2017 will remain in place until February 17, 2017. Thereafter, the maximum prices set by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit will continue to be effective until new maximum gasoline and diesel prices are announced on the Energy Regulatory Commission’s website.

Although the effects of the increase in fuel prices may result in an increase in our net sales, any such increase could be partially offset by any disruption in the supply of refined products arising out of demonstrations or any decrease in demand as a result of the increase in fuel prices.

Environmental Regulation—PEMEX’s Internal Monitoring

On January 12, 2017, during the chemical cleaning of an EA-101E heat exchanger, a leak of diesel and sulphydric acid occurred at Madero refinery. As a result of this accident, one employee died. The root cause analysis concluded that the main causes of the accident were the misapplication of safety procedures and the lack of supervision. As a result of the accident, we are reinforcing internal control procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The increase of Mexico’s GDP by 2.5% in real terms in 2015, as compared to 2014, was due to growth in all sectors except mining. Tertiary activities posted particularly strong increases in real terms during 2015 as compared to 2014. As with all quarterly GDP figures released by INEGI, these quarterly GDP figures have been annualized by multiplying GDP for the second quarter by four. Quarterly real GDP data for the period presented is not necessarily indicative of performance for the full fiscal year.

In some regions of Mexico, especially where industrial growth has been rapid, industry has experienced a shortage of skilled laborers and management personnel, as well as high turnover rates. The Mexican Government has sought to address these problems through legislation requiring in-house training programs, the costs of which are tax deductible.

As of December 31, 2015, approximately 8.2% of the Mexican work force is unionized. Mexican labor legislation requires that collective bargaining agreements be renewed at least every two years (with wages subject to renegotiation annually) and contains legal limitations on strikes. During 2015, no strikes affected the federal jurisdiction.

The 2015 M1 money supply increased by 14.0% in real terms. This increase was mainly due to increases in real terms in all of its components during 2015, specifically, checking deposits in foreign currency and bills and coins, which increased by 40.3% and 14.7%, respectively, as compared to 2014.

The 2015 monetary base totaled Ps. 1,214.7 billion, which represents a 16.8% nominal increase from the 2014 monetary base total. This expansion in the monetary base was due to a 16.6% nominal increase in the bills and coins in circulation component as well as an increase in the banking deposits component.

Consumer inflation for the first half of 2016 was 2.5%, which was below the 3.0% target inflation for the year and 0.4 percentage points higher than the 2.1% consumer inflation for 2015. According to Banco de México, inflation has remained at levels below the permanent 3.0% target mainly due to the conduct of monetary policy and the absence of aggregate demand-related pressures on prices.

Foreign Trade and Balance of Payments

Foreign Trade

According to preliminary figures, during 2015, Mexico registered a trade deficit of U.S. $14.6 billion, as compared to a trade deficit of U.S. $3.1 billion during 2014. This was caused by weakness in U.S. industrial activity and lower external demand which limited export growth. In particular, petroleum exports decreased by 45.3% as compared to 2014, primarily due to a decrease in crude oil production.

According to preliminary figures, during 2015, total imports decreased by 3.5% as compared to 2014. This was mainly caused by a decrease in non-oil exports such as consumer and capital goods, as well as a decrease in oil imports.

According to preliminary figures, during 2015, total exports decreased by 4.1% as compared to 2014. This was mainly caused by weak U.S. industrial activity and decreased demand from other countries.

In 2015, Mexico’s current account registered a deficit of 2.9% of GDP, or U.S. $32.7 billion, due to a decrease in the oil production balance.

In 2015, Mexico registered a capital account surplus of U.S. $34.2 billion. This decrease compared to previous years was due to a reduction in the holdings of government securities, primarily short-term instruments, by non-residents. This decrease in investors’ holdings of government bonds was partially offset by an increment in holdings by foreign investors of medium- and long-term instruments. Despite this reduction, the rest of the items of the financial account, including direct foreign investment, received sufficient resources to finance the capital account balance.

Direct Foreign Investment in Mexico

From 1999 to December 31, 2015, total accumulated direct foreign investment in Mexico, excluding any direct foreign investment not registered with Mexico’s Registro Nacional de Inversiones Extranjeras (National Foreign Investment Registry), totaled approximately U.S. $425.7 billion. In 2015 direct foreign investment funds, which exclude investments in Mexico-based securities, were allocated to the following sectors of the Mexican economy.

According to preliminary figures, during 2015, net foreign investment in Mexico, as recorded in the balance of payments decreased 32.7% as compared to 2014. Direct foreign investment (investment in real assets such as land, buildings or plants in Mexico) increased by 19.0% and net foreign portfolio investment (investment activity that involves the purchase of Mexico-based stocks, bonds, commodities or money market instruments, including securities placed abroad) decreased by 82.6%, as compared to 2014. These decreases were due to a reduction in the holdings of government securities by non-residents.

(2) 2016 Budget figures represent budgetary estimates, based on the economic assumptions contained in the Criterios Generales de Política Económica 2016 (General Economic Policy Guidelines) and in the Programa Económico 2016 (Economic Program for 2016). These figures do not reflect actual results for the year or updated estimates of Mexico’s 2016 economic results.

(3) The Mexican Government entered into hedging agreements to protect against the effects of a potential decline in oil prices with respect to the level that was assumed in the 2016 Revenue Law. Therefore, the approved expenditures level should not be affected if the weighted average price of crude oil exported by PEMEX for the year falls below the price assumed in the 2015 Budget.

(4) Includes the effect of expenditures related to the issuance of bonds pursuant to reforms to the Ley del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (Law of the Institute for Social Security and Social Services of Government Workers, or ISSSTE Law) and the recognition as public sector debt of certain PIDIREGAS obligations.

(1) Internal debt figures do not include securities sold by Banco de México in open-market operations to manage liquidity levels pursuant to Regulación Monetaria. This is because this does not increase the Mexican Government’s overall level of internal debt. Banco de México must reimburse the Mexican Government for any allocated debt that Banco de México sells into the secondary market and that is presented to the Mexican Government for payment. If Banco de México undertakes extensive sales of allocated debt in the secondary market, however, this can result in an elevated level of outstanding internal debt as compared to the Mexican Government’s figure for net internal debt.

(2) Preliminary figures.

(3) Includes Ps. 151.6 billion at June 30, 2015 and Ps. 144.5 billion at June 30, 2016 in liabilities associated with social security under the ISSSTE Law.

(4) Includes the net balance (denominated in pesos) of the Federal Treasury’s General Account in Banco de México.

External Public Debt

The 2016 Budget authorized the Mexican Government to incur up to U.S. $6 billion in additional net external debt, which includes external borrowings incurred from international financial institutions, the same amount as authorized in the 2015 Budget.

According to preliminary figures, at June 30, 2016, outstanding gross public sector external debt totaled U.S. $179.9 billion, an approximate U.S. $17.7 billion increase from the U.S. $162.2 billion outstanding at December 31, 2015. Of this amount, U.S. $176.7 billion represented long-term debt and U.S. $3.2 billion represented short-term debt. Net external indebtedness also increased by U.S. $13.8 billion during the first six months of 2016, mainly due to the incurrence of new external indebtedness and the depreciation of the Mexican peso. Overall, at June 30, 2016, total public debt (gross external debt plus net internal public sector debt) represented approximately 46.2% of nominal GDP, an increase of 3.0% from December 31, 2015.

(1) External debt denominated in foreign currencies other than U.S. dollars has been translated into dollars at exchange rates as of each of the dates indicated. External public debt does not include (a) repurchase obligations of Banco de México with the IMF (none of which was outstanding as of December 31, 2015) or (b) loans from the Commodity Credit Corporation to public sector Mexican banks. External debt is presented herein on a “gross” basis, and includes external obligations of the public sector at their full outstanding face or principal amount. For certain informational and statistical purposes, Mexico sometimes reports its external public sector debt on a “net” basis, which is calculated as the gross debt net of certain financial assets held abroad. These financial assets include Mexican public sector external debt that is held by public sector entities but that has not been cancelled.

(2) Includes development banks’ debt and the debt of other administratively-controlled agencies whose finances are consolidated with those of the Mexican Government.

(3) Adjusted to reflect the effect of currency swaps.
