Mexico is one of the world's leading suppliers of oil but there are growing signs that Mexico's oil reserves may be on the decline. The Mexican government will need to develop creative solutions if oil is to serve as a strategic resource to address the country's development needs. Panelists in this seminar will both assess the prospects for reform of the energy sector and suggest creative approaches for the future.
