Mexico will hold presidential elections in nine months. Regardless of who wins the election, it is a useful moment to consider what the next administration could mean for private investors. What may happen to the progress of the energy reform should the election bring to office a new administration that would slow down and/or delay the implementation of the myriad of measures, projects and legal and regulatory changes? The good news, from our vantage point, is that while political risk is indeed important o understand heading into 2018, there has been significant progress in Mexico on implementation of the energy reform to avoid it from being fully compromised regardless of the outcome of the election.
