In a business meeting in Mexico City on April 22, an unexpected revision of Mexico’s energy policy since 1958 was put forward for discussion: Mexico since 1958 has been following an import‐substitution strategy.

It was observed that in order to build an oil industry three elements are needed: 1) Talent 2) Technology and 3) Financing.
