The Mexico City government issued the 2025 Green Bond for 3 billion pesos on Tuesday, the largest in its history, to fund Cablebús lines 5 and 6. The issuance at the Mexican Stock Exchange drew over 6 billion pesos in demand, signaling investor confidence in local finances. These projects will advance sustainable mobility in peripheral boroughs.
Mexico City Head of Government Clara Brugada Molina presided over the issuance of the 2025 Green Bond at the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), which attracted over 6 billion pesos in demand, doubling the 3 billion peso target. "We announce the issuance of the largest Green Bond in Mexico City's history. This way, we obtain the financing that we will directly allocate to strategic investment projects to advance a cleaner and greener city," stated Brugada Molina.
The funds will be fully applied to the construction of Cablebús Lines 5 and 6. Line 5 will benefit the boroughs of Álvaro Obregón and La Magdalena Contreras, while Line 6 will serve Milpa Alta and Tláhuac. These works aim to enhance social inclusion and establish a clean, accessible mobility model, connecting remote areas to the center.
Brugada Molina underscored the capital's financial stability, with 23 billion dollars in foreign direct investment in the third quarter of 2025, accounting for 56% of the national total and a 45% growth over the past year. She projected a 31% increase in public investment for 2026 compared to 2025, and 55% compared to 2024. This year, over 12 billion pesos were allocated to environmental policies.
Administration and Finance Secretary Juan Pablo de Botton Falcón highlighted the bond's AAA rating from major agencies, bolstering the debt profile. He recalled that CDMX was the first Latin American city to issue a green bond in 2016, now fully aligned with the sustainable taxonomy of the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit. The government targets a 35% reduction in pollutant emissions by 2030.
Federal Finance Secretary Édgar Amador Zamora praised the initiative and urged other local governments to follow suit to expand the green bonds sector.
