Mexico’s federal government has published regulations to implement energy reforms that will open its energy sector to foreign firms. President Enrique Peña Nieto said the regulations provide the legal and institutional framework to “begin a new era of energy development.”
The regulations are a major step in the process that began last year with changes to Mexico’s constitution allowing private investment in the energy sector, and that continued in August with the enactment of the “secondary laws.”
The publication included regulations (downloadable below, in Spanish) from:
