The Treasury reported that it completed the placement in the European market of three sovereign Eurobonds linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a total amount of 4.75 billion euros.

“With this operation, an important part of the external financing program contemplated for 2026 is brought forward, allowing more flexible management for the rest of the year,” the agency said in a statement, which presumed the issuance in a “complex geopolitical context.”

According to the secretariat, the operation was carried out under the recent update of the Sovereign Reference Framework for Sustainable Financing, a guide that expands the categories of Eligible Sustainable Expenditures and reinforces eligibility and traceability criteria.

The Treasury indicated that the framework is aligned with the National Development Plan 2025-2030 and consolidates best practices in transparency, impact measurement and accountability, in line with the standards demanded by institutional investors of sustainable bonds.

He highlighted that with this issue, Mexico strengthens its sovereign curve in euros by establishing three liquid reference points (5, 10 and 14 years), which seeks to facilitate access to financing for future sustainable issuers from both the public and private sectors.

The placement registered a demand of 13.5 billion euros, equivalent to 2.84 times the amount issued, and received orders from more than 180 international investors.

“This result demonstrates the solid appetite of global investors for instruments issued by the Government of Mexico, even in a complex geopolitical context,” he assured.

The issue was structured into three SDG bonds. The first is a bond maturing in 2031, with a coupon rate of 3.875% per year, for a current amount of 2,000 million euros.

The second corresponds to a bond maturing in 2036, with a fixed coupon of 4.875% per year and an issued amount of 1,750 million euros.

The third is the bond maturing in 2040, which pays a fixed coupon of 5.375% annually and an amount of 1,000 million euros.

In perspective, the Treasury highlighted that, to date, the federal government has developed four sustainable reference curves in euros, dollars, pesos and yen, through 56 labeled bonds for a cumulative amount of 32.45 billion dollars, which positions Mexico among the main issuers of SDG bonds in Latin America.

For its part, the Treasury assured that the strategy remains within the debt ceiling approved by Congress and framed in the 2026 Annual Financing Plan, with the aim of preserving “responsible and prudent” fiscal management.
