Further Issues:

additional notes that may form a single series of notes with the

indebtedness. Those provisions are described in the following

section, "New Provisions Applicable to the Notes."
PS-5

NEW PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE NOTES
The notes will contain provisions regarding acceleration and voting on amendments, modifications and waivers that
differ from the provisions described in the accompanying prospectus. The provisions described in this pricing supplement
file:///G|/Tamara/162126.htm (6 of 85) [5/27/2003 5:48:17 PM]

UNITED MEXICAN STATES
will govern the notes. These provisions are commonly referred to as "collective action clauses." Under these provisions,
Mexico may amend certain key terms of the notes, including the maturity date, interest rate and other payment terms, with
the consent of less than all of the holders of the notes.
Default and Acceleration of Maturity
The notes will contain the same events of default as those described in the accompanying prospectus, but the procedures
for acceleration if an event of default occurs will be different from those described in the prospectus. The events of default
are the following:

1.
Mexico fails to pay any principal of or interest on the notes within 30 days after payment is due;

2.
Mexico fails to perform any other obligation under the notes and does not cure that failure within 30 days after the
fiscal agent receives written notice from the holder of any note requiring Mexico to remedy the failure;

3.
Mexico's creditors accelerate an aggregate principal amount of more than U.S. $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in
any other currency) of Mexico's public external indebtedness because of an event of default resulting from
Mexico's failure to pay principal or interest on that public external indebtedness when due;

4.
Mexico fails to make any payment on any of its public external indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of
more than U.S. $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) when due and does not cure that failure
within 30 days after the fiscal agent receives written notice from the holder of any note requiring Mexico to
remedy the failure; or

5.
Mexico declares a moratorium on the payment of principal of or interest on its public external indebtedness.
If any of the events of default described above occurs and is continuing, the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes outstanding (as defined below) may, by notice to the fiscal agent, declare all the notes to be
due and payable immediately.
Upon any declaration of acceleration, the principal, interest and all other amounts payable on the notes will become
immediately due and payable on the date Mexico receives written notice of the declaration, unless Mexico has remedied the
event or events of default prior to receiving the notice. The holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding notes may rescind a declaration of acceleration if the event or events of default giving rise to the declaration
have been cured or waived.
Meetings, Amendments and Waivers
Mexico may call a meeting of the holders of the notes at any time regarding the fiscal agency agreement or the notes.
Mexico will determine the time and place of the meeting. Mexico will notify the holders of the time, place and purpose of
the meeting not less than 30 and not more than 60 days before the meeting.
PS-6

file:///G|/Tamara/162126.htm (7 of 85) [5/27/2003 5:48:17 PM]

UNITED MEXICAN STATES
In addition, the fiscal agent will call a meeting of the holders of the notes if the holders of at least ten percent of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes have delivered a written request to the fiscal agent setting forth the
action they propose to take. The fiscal agent will notify the holders of the time, place and purpose of any meeting called by
the holders not less than 30 and not more than 60 days before the meeting.
Only holders of notes and their proxies are entitled to vote at a meeting of holders. Holders or proxies representing a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes will normally constitute a quorum. However, if a
meeting is adjourned for a lack of a quorum, then holders or proxies representing 25% of the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding notes will constitute a quorum when the meeting is rescheduled. For purposes of a meeting of holders that
proposes to discuss reserved matters, which are specified below, holders or proxies representing 75% of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding notes will constitute a quorum. The fiscal agent will set the procedures governing the
conduct of the meeting.
Mexico, the fiscal agent and the holders may generally modify or take actions with respect to the fiscal agency
agreement or the terms of the notes:

·
with the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding notes that are represented at a meeting; or

·
with the written consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes.
However, the holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes, voting at a meeting
or by written consent, must consent to any amendment, modification, change or waiver with respect to the notes that would:

·
change the due dates for the payment of principal of or interest on the notes;

·
reduce any amounts payable on the notes;

·
reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the notes;

·
change the payment currency or places of payment for the notes;

·
permit early redemption of the notes or, if early redemption is already permitted, set a redemption date earlier than
the date previously specified or reduce the redemption price;

·
reduce the percentage of holders of the notes whose vote or consent is needed to amend, supplement or modify the
fiscal agency agreement (as it relates to the notes) or the terms and conditions of the notes or to take any other
action with respect to the notes or change the definition of "outstanding" with respect to the notes;

·
change Mexico's obligation to pay any additional amounts;

·
change the governing law provision of the notes;

·
change the courts to the jurisdiction of which Mexico has submitted, Mexico's obligation to appoint and maintain
an agent for service of process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or Mexico's waiver of
immunity, in respect of actions or proceedings brought by any holder based upon the notes, as described in the
prospectus;
file:///G|/Tamara/162126.htm (8 of 85) [5/27/2003 5:48:17 PM]

UNITED MEXICAN STATES
PS-7

·
in connection with an exchange offer for the notes, amend any event of default under the notes; or

·
change the status of the notes, as described under "Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Status" in the
prospectus.
We refer to the above subjects as "reserved matters." A change to a reserved matter, including the payment terms of the
notes, can be made without your consent, as long as a supermajority of the holders (that is, the holders of at least 75% of
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes) agree to the change.
Mexico and the fiscal agent may, without the vote or consent of any holder of the notes, amend the fiscal agency
agreement or the notes for the purpose of:

·
adding to Mexico's covenants for the benefit of the holders;

·
surrendering any of Mexico's rights or powers;

·
providing collateral for the notes;

·
curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any defective provision; or

·
making any other change that (a) is not inconsistent with the notes and (b) does not adversely affect the interest of
any holder of the notes in any material respect.
For purposes of determining whether the required percentage of holders of the notes has approved any amendment,
modification or change to, or waiver of, the notes or the fiscal agency agreement, or whether the required percentage of
holders has delivered a notice of acceleration of the notes, notes owned, directly or indirectly, by Mexico or any public
sector instrumentality of Mexico will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that in determining whether
the fiscal agent shall be protected in relying upon any amendment, modification, change or waiver, or any notice from
holders, only notes that the fiscal agent knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. As used in this paragraph, "public
sector instrumentality" means Banco de México, any department, ministry or agency of the federal government of Mexico
or any corporation, trust, financial institution or other entity owned or controlled by the federal government of Mexico or
any of the foregoing, and "control" means the power, directly or indirectly, through the ownership of voting securities or
other ownership interests or otherwise, to direct the management of or elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors
or other persons performing similar functions in lieu of, or in addition to, the board of directors of a corporation, trust,
financial institution or other entity.

Inflation during 2002 was 5.70%, as compared to 4.40% during 2001. Inflation during the first two months of 2003 was
0.68%, 0.18 percentage points lower than during the same period of 2002.

(excluding subsidiary companies), total sales revenues (net of the Impuesto Especial Sobre Producción y Servicios (Special
Tax on Production and Services, or the "IEPS Tax")) for the first eleven months of 2002 amounted to Ps. 304.7 billion, a
decrease of 1.2% from total sales revenues (net of the IEPS Tax) during the first eleven months of 2001 of Ps. 308.3 billion,
primarily as a result of a decrease in the average price of principal trading products (including natural gas, gasoline,
liquefied petroleum gas, diesel and jet fuel) in the domestic market. During the first eleven months of 2002, the net loss of
