"The Mexican government is pushing forward an ambitious set of reforms that will have a major impact on its growing economy," said Someera Khokhar, the Americas regional section head for the Energy, Infrastructure, Project Finance and Asset Finance Group of White & Case. "These reforms across energy, infrastructure, telecommunications, competition and tax laws may create significant opportunities for investors."
The report examines the following key reforms in Mexico:

- Eliminating the state monopoly and opening the oil sector to international investment
- A thorough, transparent bidding process to reduce corruption
- Changes to the bankruptcy law to give banks more confidence in providing loans
- Relaxation of labor laws initiated by the previous government
The "Spotlight on Reforms in Mexico" report is part of an ongoing series White & Case is developing about the country and the changes it is facing.
