据路透社墨西哥城报道，墨西哥国家石油公司（墨国油/Pemex）周四表示，公司已经提出了一项要约，要提前支付2020年至2023年间到期的147亿美元债券中的三分之一，这是墨西哥总统安德烈斯·曼纽尔·洛佩兹·奥夫拉多尔支持这家国有石油公司的最新努力。

该提议称，墨国油正考虑利用墨西哥政府周三宣布的大量注资，提前支付高达50亿美元的此类债券。

要约将于下周三到期。

据路透社旗下媒体IFR报道，墨国油还发行了价值75亿美元的债券，期限分别为7年、10年和30年。IFR援引一位知情人士的话说，墨国油已经收到了价值370亿美元的收购要约。

洛佩兹·奥夫拉多尔是一位资深的左派人士，于去年12月掌权，他发誓要复兴墨国油，这家公司在1938年随着外国石油利益的征用而成立后，成为墨西哥自给自足的象征。

但是，多年的石油产量下降、管理不善和腐败已经给该公司造成了损失，该公司现在是世界上负债最重的石油公司，有1040亿美元的金融债务。

为了避免信用评级进一步下调，洛佩兹·奥夫拉多尔领导下的墨西哥政府今年多次给予墨国油税收减免和现金支持，并在2020年为另外44亿美元的类似支持编列了预算。

Mexico's Pemex offers to prepay chunk of $14.7 billion in bonds

Mexico’s Pemex said on Thursday it had launched a tender offer to prepay around a third of $14.7 billion in bonds maturing between 2020-2023, in President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s latest effort to shore up the state oil firm.

The offer says Pemex is looking to prepay up to $5 billion of those bonds, using a major capital injection announced by the Mexican government for this purpose on Wednesday.

The offer will expire next Wednesday.

Pemex also offered $7.5 billion worth of bonds with maturities of seven, 10 and 30 years, news service IFR reported. It cited a source close to the deal who said Pemex had received $37 billion worth of offers.

Lopez Obrador, a veteran leftist who took power in December, has vowed to revive Pemex, a company that became an icon of Mexican self-sufficiency after it was created with the expropriation of foreign oil interests in 1938.

However, years of declining oil output, mismanagement and corruption have taken their toll on the firm, which is now the world’s most heavily indebted oil company, with $104 billion in financial debt.

To avert a further credit ratings downgrade, the Mexican government under Lopez Obrador has given Pemex tax breaks and cash support several times this year, and has budgeted for another $4.4 billion of similar support in 2020.
