2. SUSTAINALYTICS’OPINIONSection1:SustainalyticsOpinionontheCDMXSustainabilityBondFrameworkOverall, Sustainalytics is of the opinion that the CDMX Sustainability Bond Framework createsmeaningful impact, is transparent, and aligns with the Green Bond Principles 2017 and theSustainabilityBondGuidelines2017.Someconsiderations inSustainalytics’assessmentare listedbelow:

• All green eligibility criteria for the use of proceeds are recognized by the Green BondPrinciples2017asprojectcategorieswithclearenvironmentalimpact.

• TheCity’sdisclosureandprocesseswithrespecttomanagementofproceedsandprojectselectionprocessareinlinewithmarketpractices.

• CDMX commits to targeting proceeds towards disadvantaged populations by selectingprojectsthatareprovidingessentialservicestothesepopulations.SinceCDMXdefinesthesepopulationsinalignmentwithMinistryofSocialDevelopment,Sustainalyticsisoftheopinionthatthesedefinitionsarecredible.

• ProjectsorservicesundertheEssentialPublicServiceseligibilitycriteriaarebeingdevelopedinareasdesignatedasmedium, low,orvery lowon theMexicoCitySocialDevelopmentIndex,whichwillensureatargetedpopulation.

o The free admission interactive children’smuseum is being developed in the low-incomeareaofIztapalapawhere37.4%ofinhabitantsliveinpoverty.ThisisoneofthehighestpovertyratesinMexicoCity.

• SustainalyticsencouragesCDMXwherepossibletoreportonquantitativeKPIsrelevanttoprojectcategories.

Section2:MexicoCity’sSocialandEnvironmentalCommitmentsMexicoCity’sCommitmenttoSocialDevelopment:Sustainalytics has reviewedMexico City’s General Program for Development 2013-20183,whichestablishesthesocialobjectivesandactionsfortheCity.Sustainalytics isoftheopinionthattheSustainabilityBondisalignedtoMexicoCity’ssocialdevelopmentcommitments.Theprogramhasavisiontocreateacityoffreedom,tolerance,diversity,fairness,inclusive,andsafety.Accordingly,the program aims to promote equality of opportunity and gender equality, support vulnerablepopulations, create a safe city, and stimulate the economy. In order to achieve this vision, theprogramisstructuredaroundfivepillars:

Pillar1:EquityandSocialInclusionforHumanDevelopment;Pillar2:GoodGovernance,SafetyandCitizenProtection;Pillar3:SustainableEconomicDevelopment;Pillar4:LivabilityandServices,PublicSpace,Infrastructure;Pillar5:Effectiveness,Accountability,FightAgainstCorruption.

Pillar 1 (Equity and Social Inclusion for Human Development) covers issues including exclusion,discrimination,health,education,accesstoculturalcontents,spacesandservicesamongstothers.Pillar4 (LivabilityandServices,PublicSpace, Infrastructure)covers issues includingpublicspace,public transportation, and water infrastructure. The program sees public space as an area ofopportunityforcultureanddailysocialinteractionurbanlifeandcommunityidentityexpression.Sustainalyticsisoftheopinionthatsocialprojectstobefundedunderthe“EssentialPublicServices”eligibilitycriteria,whichincludeacommunitycenterfortheelderly,achildcarecenter,achildren’smuseumandfundingforthe“HealthArt”(SaludArteinSpanish)programatschools,arealignedwithPillar1andPillar4.MexicoCity’sComprehensiveEnvironmentalCommitmentandTargets:SustainalyticsreviewedMexicoCity’sclimatechangestrategyinNovember2016foritsGreenBondissuance. Sustainalytics believes that the City’s government is sustainability-focused and has arobustshort-andlong-termstrategytomitigateadverseenvironmentalimpacts.ThestrengthofMexicoCity’sclimatechangestrategyderivesfrom:(i)stronglocalclimateactionplans,(ii)trackrecordofperformanceonplans,(iii)participationininternationalforumstoreporttocommitmentsandactions.Basedontheabove,SustainalyticsbelievesthatMexicoCityiswellpositionedtoissueSustainabilityBonds. 3 General Development Program of the Federal District 2013-2018: https://data.finanzas.cdmx.gob.mx/documentos/ProgGralDesarrollo_2013_2018.pdf

Additionally,MexicoCityhasestablishedtargetstoreduceCO2eemissionsbyapproximately30%by2020relativetothebaseline.TheCitytracksandreportsonitstargetsthroughitsCDPSurveyResponsesandpublicallyreportsonitsScope1,2and3emissions.SustainalyticsisoftheopinionthatreportingontargetsandperformanceonMexicoCity’senvironmentalstrategiesisindicativeoftheprioritytheCityassignstoachievingresults.PleaserefertoAppendix2forareviewofSustainalytics’opinionofCDMX’sGreenBondFrameworkpublishedinNovember2016.Section3:OpinionontheCDMXUseofProceedsProceedsofthebondwillbedirectedtowardsnineeligibilitycriteria:

Overall,Sustainalytics isof theopinion that theproceeds fromthebondwillhaveclearpositivesocialandenvironmentalimpacts.Below,Sustainalyticshasprovidedanopiniononprojectsunderthe newly included Essential Public Services eligibility criteria. Please refer to Appendix 3 forSustainalytics’OpiniononSustainableBuildings,ClimateChangeAdaptation,SustainableTransport,andWaterEfficiencyandWastewaterManagement.TheImportanceofImprovementstoEssentialPublicServicesinMexicoCity:Essentialpublicservicesarevitaltoestablishandmaintainthequalityoflifeofcitizens,ensurethehealthofcitizens,andcontributetotheeconomicandenvironmentalwell-beingofacity.Essentialservices directly benefit low-income and marginalized communities and vulnerable populationgroups.MexicoCity’scurrentpublicserviceprojectsincludethedevelopmentofpublicspacesanddevelopmentofprojectsthatpromotechildren’seducation.Mexico City faces a lack of public spaces, as well as a problem of uneven distribution andconnectivityoftheexistingpublicspaces.Accordingtothe2013-2018DevelopmentProgram,theoptimalratioforpublicspacesissetat12m2/habwhereas,asof2013,publicspacewasestimated
