Pemex announced a temporary freeze on new contracts with service providers as it aims to pay off debts owed to suppliers amounting to about $20bn. The freeze applies to new agreements with contractors that have not yet been formalized. The move comes after the release of Mexico’s draft 2025 budget, which allocates less funding for Pemex’s exploration and production activities.
