The manager commented that they are going very well with the payment of the debt of Pemex suppliers, since the investment fund of 250 billion pesos created to reduce the company’s liabilities has been very successful.
On August 5, Banobras and the Ministry of Finance created the Investment Fund for Pemex Innovador, a financial vehicle designed to provide the oil company with a mechanism for the management and administration of payments related to investment projects in 2025.
The objective is to ensure that the company’s activities and projects in 2025 have the necessary resources for their implementation by promoting that payments to projects executed by Pemex suppliers and service providers are carried out in a timely manner.
As of December 31, 2024, the accounting balance of the account called “suppliers” was 505 billion pesos, while as of September 30, 2025 it was already 517 billion pesos, that is, it had an increase of 2.2 percent.
According to Pemex, the accounting account is made up of liabilities to suppliers registered through the document called COPADE (Codification of Payments and Debts), accounting provisions for goods and services in the reconciliation stage and debts from subsidiary companies.
“We have already paid 70 billion pesos until today, on December 15 we make the next payment and then we make another one on December 30,” he said within the framework of the National Builders Meeting, organized by the CMIC.

The fund “helps reduce liabilities with suppliers,” he said.
