Market Comment 011: Joint Senate Committee Report on Energy Reform

Joint Committee on Mexican Energy Reform

There is much to applaud on the oil side, less on the power side. The legal strategy carries some risk: the idea is to append this document to the proposed constitutional amendments as a framework that will bind the congress in 2014 when it writes implementing legislation.

We include a 3-page table of contents to the Senate document.
