Mexico's Pemex hopes to return to capital markets when conditions permit, minister says
Pemex has a financial debt of $101 billion and has not turned directly to the markets to raise funds in several years due to the high costs it faces.
"We have to have a conversation with the market, with investors, eventually, in the medium term - not at this moment. Right now, the conditions are not ideal for that to happen," Amador said in an interview with Bloomberg Linea.
"What we have to do is create those conditions so that the company can turn to capital markets," he added.
When asked if the option of going to those markets was off the table, he responded: "That is the aspiration."
Mexico's finance minister sits on Pemex's board of directors.

US sanctions Mexican drug cartel associates accused of scamming elderly Americans
The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions Wednesday on more than a dozen Mexican companies and four people it says worked with a powerful drug trafficking cartel to scam elderly Americans in a multimillion-dollar timeshare fraud. The network of 13 businesses in areas near the seaside tourist destination of Puerto Vallarta were accused of working with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a group designated by the U.S. government as a foreign terrorist organization. In a scheme dating back to 2012, four cartel associates are accused of defrauding American citizens of their life savings through elaborate rental and resale schemes, according to a Treasury statement. In the span of six months, officials said they were able to document $23.1 million sent from mostly people in the U.S. to scammers in Mexico. The sanctions imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump would prohibit Americans from doing business with the alleged cartel associates and block any of their assets in the U.S.. 'We will continue our effort to completely eradicate the cartels' ability to generate revenue, including their efforts to prey on elderly Americans through timeshare fraud,' U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. In past years, the administration of then-President Joe Biden also sanctioned associates and accountants related to such schemes. The Wednesday announcement was made amid an ongoing effort by the Trump administration and the Mexican government to crack down on cartels and their diverse sources of income. The U.S. Treasury Department has slapped sanctions on a variety of people from a Mexican rapper who it accused of laundering cartel money to Mexican banks facilitating money transfers in sales of precursor chemicals used to produce fentanyl. The announcement also came one day after Mexico sent 26 high-ranking cartel figures to the U.S. in the latest major deal with the Trump administration as Mexico tries to avoid threatened tariffs.

US issues sanctions against Mexican cartel fraud scheme in Puerto Vallarta
Aug 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. government imposed sanctions on Wednesday on individuals and companies based in or near Puerto Vallarta accused of running timeshare fraud schemes on behalf of Mexico-based Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The U.S. Treasury and State Department said the schemes, often run through call centers staffed by English-speaking telemarketers impersonating brokers, attorneys, or government officials, defrauded U.S. citizens by charging advance fees and taxes under false pretenses. The Treasury said the cartel obtained information about U.S. timeshare owners in Mexico through insiders at resorts and used this data to perpetrate resale, re-rent, and investment scams. According to FBI data, victims reportedly lost nearly $300 million to timeshare fraud schemes in Mexico between 2019 and 2023. The sanctions target assets from four Mexican individuals and 13 Mexican companies used to support the cartel's enterprise, the Treasury said. "We are coming for terrorist drug cartels like Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion that are flooding our country with fentanyl," said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. "At President Trump's direction, we will continue our effort to completely eradicate the cartels' ability to generate revenue, including their efforts to prey on elderly Americans through timeshare fraud," Bessent added. The U.S. considers the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion a foreign terrorist organization and responsible for a significant share of fentanyl and other illegal drugs entering the United States.

SERGIO PEREZ is edging closer to signing a deal with new F1 side Cadillac. The General Motors backed team will make its debut on the grid in 2026 and are yet to announce their line up. 1 Mexican driver Perez has not been in the paddock this season after he was axed by Red Bull last December. But talks are ramping up with Cadillac and a deal could be announced in the coming weeks. Perez's Red Bull exit came after a run of woeful results where he failed to make a podium in his final 19 races. In April Perez made it clear he had spoken to a handful of teams and said: "We are talking to a few parties out there. "Once I know all my options, I will make a decision. What is very clear to me is that I'm only coming back if the project makes sense, and it's something I can enjoy." Perez is a hot prospect given he is a six-time race winner and brings strong commercial appeal in Mexico. The 35-year-old is also backed by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. Perez has reportedly held talks with Alpine with Franco Colapinto struggling to hit the ground running. Mercedes reserve driver Valtteri Bottas is said to be a favourite for the other Cadillac seat. , having been out of F1 for three-years.
