For the first time in 36 years Pemex is importing more than it exports

Pemex is importing more petroleum products than it exports for the first time in 36 years, with imports at 507,227 barrels per day versus exports of 431,801 barrels. The company recorded a $1.6 billion monthly spending gap on fuel imports compared to oil sales revenue, and its crude oil exports have declined 35% year-to-date. Production of crude oil hit a decades-low of 1.36 million barrels per day in May, exacerbating financial losses.
