NEW MEXICO: Fitch Ratings has upgraded Petroleos Mexicanos after the government sold US$12bil in global debt markets to help shore up the driller’s finances.
The ratings firm lifted Pemex’s score by two notches, bringing it to BB, citing the government support for a company that is struggling under the weight of about US$100bil of debt. The outlook is stable.
