Mexico Secures 83% of Stations for Voluntary Diesel Price Pact

Overview

• This week 435 service stations joined the voluntary pact, raising total participation to 8,481 stations, or about 83% of the national network.
• Authorities published a public list of 1,721 stations selling diesel at significantly higher prices and urged those outlets to join the agreement.
• Independent market data reported the national average diesel price at 27.07 pesos per liter on July 17, slightly above the government goal of 27 pesos.
• The federal plan combines permanent IEPS tax stimuli, talks with banks and voucher issuers to cut card and voucher fees, and Pemex expanding last‑mile transport to lower freight costs.
• Officials say they will keep market monitoring, reinforce security at stations and on highways, and use transparency and logistics measures to pressure noncompliant sellers and protect transport costs for consumers.
