Mexico Starts Final Push on Energy Reform

摘要

Mexican congressional committees will start putting the final touches this week on legislation needed to implement a major overhaul of the country's energy sector, as President Enrique Pena Nieto seeks to put the centerpiece of his economic reform drive in place. Congress passed the basic legislation last year to open up the oil and gas industry and end the 75-year-old stranglehold that state oil company Pemex has held over the sector. But it must still approve so-called secondary laws to implement those changes.
