La balanza petrolera de 🇲🇽 registra números rojos desde el 2015 - resultado de políticas que han priorizado la E&P de petróleo a expensas de otras áreas de Petróleos Mexicanos como #refinación , #petroquímica y #gasnatural . ¿Cómo afrontará el próximo gob. este desafío?

Since [ #remittances are] often not invested to generate income or promote development, like starting a business, their long-term impact is limited, said Jose Ivan Rodríguez-Sánchez, Center for the United States and Mexico scholar. Generally, he said, people stay poor.

#Pemex 's struggles have widened Mexico's trade deficit in petroleum products since 2015. Record energy imports led to a $35.14 billion deficit in 2022. This reveals structural flaws in Mexico's trade, heavily reliant on crude oil exports while importing various petroleum products

#Pemex 's efforts to revitalize refineries haven't fully addressed operational inefficiencies. Gasoline production often lags behind that of fuel oil, raising environmental concerns. #Mexico 's status as the largest export market (2023) for US refineries underscores challenges.

Excluding condensates, #Pemex faces a notable 12.4% drop in crude oil production, signifying ongoing hurdles in maintaining output levels. Aging infrastructure, financial burdens, and insufficient investment hinder progress, impacting refining and other operational aspects.

Thank you, Baker Institute, for such an engaging conversation!

Carlos Bravo Regidor Asked what will affect people’s votes, Carlos Bravo Regidor identified 👥 gender, 💰 income, and 🎓 education levels. He noted that there’s still a strong anti-establishment feeling too.

In his welcoming remarks, Center for the United States and Mexico’s Tony Payan notes that the Mexican presidential election of June 2 is “going to be transcendental, not only for #Mexico but for the binational relationship.” The U.S. & Mexico are “joined at the hip, we depend on each other.” #BakerLive
