Pemex is committed to settling pending payments with local suppliers this month to maintain the payment chain. There are still 18 days left for the state-owned company, along with the Secretary of Energy and Finance, to meet its debts, which continues to generate uncertainty about whether they will be able to do so on time.
In another related matter, the National Water Commission (Conagua), led by Efraín Morales, has presented strategic projects for water infrastructure aimed at guaranteeing quantity and quality water for 36 million Mexicans. These projects involve an investment of 122.6 billion pesos and encompass initiatives such as the Comprehensive Plan for the Mexico Valley Metropolitan Area and the Solís-León Aqueduct in Guanajuato.
Regarding payments to suppliers in Campeche, according to the Campeche Energy Cluster, 25 percent of the debt to suppliers in Carmen has been settled by the first half of February. Payments to 30 companies for amounts exceeding 10 billion pesos are also mentioned. However, the situation remains complicated and vital for the local economy.
In the realm of the Mayan Train, disputes continue, especially in the case of Vulcan Materials and its quarry in Calica. After a failed agreement in 2022, an environmental conflict has erupted involving a multimillion-dollar arbitration case in Washington. The issue remains unresolved, and various political actors are intervening in search of a solution.
On the other hand, Mexican airports have been recognized globally for their quality of service. Airports like those in Guadalajara, Guanajuato, and Hermosillo received awards for their airport experience in 2024. This highlights the commitment to excellence in service they provide to users.
In summary, various sectors in Mexico are facing financial and infrastructure challenges that require immediate solutions to ensure their operation and development. The coming months will be key to defining the direction of these projects and pending payments.
