Mexico is one of the world’s largest oil producers and the third-largest in the Western Hemisphere. However oil production in the country has begun to decrease due to a lack of investment and new technology. To address this and reform the energy sector, the government passed new legislation in 2008. How have these reforms changed the situation? How is the energy sector faring in other Latin American countries? Enrique Sira is a director at IHS CERA leading Andean Energy and Mexico Energy advisory services.
