Mexican oil giant sells $327 mn in bonds
State-owned oil giant Petroleos Mexicanos said it sold 300 million Swiss francs ($327 million) worth of bonds on the international market.
The seven-year bonds, which carry a 2.5 percent coupon, were sold in Switzerland to institutional investors and private banks.
The proceeds from the bond issue will be used to cover investment and debt refinancings, Pemex said in a statement.
Pemex had total debt of $55.95 billion at the end of 2011, with 85.9 percent in long-term bonds.
Pemex, Latin America's largest corporation and the world's third-largest oil producer, has a monopoly over the Mexican petroleum industry.
The state-owned corporation is the biggest source of revenue for the Mexican Treasury.
