MEXICO CITY, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia

Sheinbaum on Tuesday said the country's highly-indebted state

oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) will not need the

finance ministry's support beginning in 2027.

In Sheinbaum's morning news conference, Mexican Finance

Minister Edgar Amador said the government is aiming for Pemex to

finance its own operating expenses by 2027, and that it aims to

bring the company's debt down to $77.3 billion by 2030.
