The present opinion is being delivered to you solely upon the examination of the documents listed in subsection 2) set forth below, and in accordance with the relevant Mexican law in force as of the date hereof; therefore, I express no opinion other than as to the laws of MÉXICO.

Exhibit 1(b)

Translation of the Presidential Decree issued by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, President of the United Mexican States, on December 20, 2021, authorizing the issuance and placement of debt securities for an amount up to sixty billion dollars, legal currency of the United States of America or its equivalent in other legal currencies.

ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR, President of the United Mexican States, in exercise of the power conferred upon me by section I of article 89 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, based on article 2 of the Federal Revenue Law for the Fiscal Year 2021; article 2 section I, article 4, sections I and V, and article 5, section II of the General Law of Public Debt; and article 31, section V and VI of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration, and

CONSIDERING

That the objectives established in the previous Presidential Decree issued on January 26, 2016, to reduce external debt financing costs and in general to improve the terms and conditions of such debt by simultaneously expanding and diversifying the base of investors of debt instruments issued, were accomplished;

That it is necessary to strengthen the public external debt policy in order to let it become one of the pillars of macroeconomic stability of the country through the strengthening of the debt structure in order to satisfy the financing needs of the Federal Government at the lowest possible cost and to facilitate subsequent transactions at the best market conditions, as well to improve the risk, cost and term levels, developing sustainable and sound public finances and maintaining presence in the international capital markets;

That in recent years the United Mexican States has successfully secured its presence in the major international capital markets as highlighted by the following transactions: (i) in August 2016, for the first time in history, the United Mexican States executed the early maturity clause of a bond denominated in foreign currency, a practice that became a common tool for refinancing purposes in the following years (to date, such clause has been executed for a total of five bonds denominated in dollars and four bonds denominated in euros, which has allowed the Federal Government to refinance approximately U.S.$14.5 million of external debt between August 2016 and January 2021); (ii) in June 2019, the United Mexican States carried out its largest external debt issuance in the Japanese market (165 billion yen), reaffirming the country’s leadership as a sovereign issuer in this market; (iii) in January 2020, the second lowest coupon rate and the lowest coupon rate for the dollar market and the euro market, respectively, were obtained; (iv) in April 2020, the United Mexican States carried out the largest external debt issuance in the country’s history (U.S.$6 billion); (v) in September 2020, the United Mexican States issued its first thematic bond, becoming the first sovereign issuer in the world to issue a bond linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; (vi) in November 2020, the United Mexican States achieved its lowest coupon rate ever in the dollar market, issued its first 40-year external bond, and carried out the largest liability management exercise in the country’s history; (vii) in January 2021, the United Mexican States listed its first external bond in the Taiwanese market, which allowed it to diversify its investor base and marked the first time the Federal Government issued a 50-year external bond, and (viii) in January 2021, the United Mexican States executed the first liability management exercise in the euro market since 2013 and the first 30-year euro-denominated bond since 2015;

J-9

That, with the experience of these transactions, our country has established itself as an emerging market bond issuer in different international capital markets from those in which it traditionally has sought financing;

That the National Development Financing Program 2020-2024 is governed by the principles established in the National Development Plan 2019-2024, which emphasize the principles related to “Economy for Wellbeing” and “Leave no one behind, leave no one out”. In this regard, the Federal Government, in strict compliance with the priority objectives of the aforementioned program, is generating actions aimed at strengthening the macroeconomic foundations to promote stability, equitable economic growth and the well-being of the population, as well as to generate a better allocation of federal public resources allocated for current and investment spending;

That our economic policy aligns the necessities of maintaining moderate public deficits with strengthening the Mexican Financial System, which rely on the development of an adequate profile of public external debt;

That the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, is committed to strengthen its debt structure by diversifying its investor base and by using liability management transactions in the best market conditions in order to improve risks, costs and term of its public external debt while maintaining an important presence in the foreign markets, all in strict accordance with the Constitution of the United Mexican States, Public Debt Law and other relevant regulations, I hereby issue the following:

DECREE

FIRST. - The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit is authorized to issue and place securities abroad of an amount up to sixty billion dollars in the legal currency of the United States of America or its equivalent in the legal currencies of other countries. The transactions to be carried out under this federal order shall not result in the incurrence of additional net external indebtedness beyond what is authorized by the Congress in Article 2 of the Federal Revenue Law for 2021, or the correlating Revenue Laws for the fiscal years in which such transactions will be realized.

SECOND. - Pursuant to the previous provision, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit is also authorized to issue and place securities abroad in legal currency of the United States of America or its equivalent in the legal currencies of other countries solely for the purpose of standardizing certain contractual terms in such bonds issued after November 2014. The transactions realized in accordance with this provision shall not result in the incurrence of additional net indebtedness beyond that which has already been incurred under such securities.

THIRD. - The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit is authorized to execute all legal acts and contractual documents that may be necessary, as well as agreeing to and setting forth the traits of the issuance described in the First Article of this Decree, in accordance with article 4, section I of the General Law of Public Debt.
