Pemex Announces Find Of New Oilfields
February 16, 2010
According to Pemex, the national oil company, a new pair of oil fields have been identified in the southern region of
the Gulf of Mexico. The finds could help contain the quick decline suffered in the region. The fields are located in the
Campeche sound and represent one of the most important discoveries over the past decade. The Ayatsil field near
the Ku Maloob Zaap complex has an estimated 590 million barrels, while Tsimin off the coast of Tabasco has an
estimated 305 million barrels of crude and 13.8 million cubic feet of gas. Production of the finds could begin in about
two years and compensate for about one-third of recent losses in Mexican production.
Alfa Seeks Oilfields Exploitation Partner
February 17, 2010
Monterrey-based Alfa S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiary Newpek LLC are seeking new partners for the exploitation of
a gas field that is known as Eagle Ford and is located in southern Texas, between San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
Alfa is seeking the partnerships because the cost of every well ranges from US$5 million to US$8 million, and the
field’s full development could represent a total investment of US$5 billion. The company has 200,000 acres in a 20%-
80% partnership with Pioneer, and estimates that some 1,000 wells could be drilled. Alfa, which sells the gas to
companies that transport the fuel, announced it would be investing Mex$800 million of its own resources during 2010.

Mining Union Seeks Resolution Against Government Before The IACHR
February 16, 2010
The National Mining Union filed a suit against the federal government before the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights (IACHR), headquartered in Washington, D.C., on charges of violation to due legal process in detriment
of more than 1,100 miners in Cananea, following a ruling by the Mexican federal court that closed all further defense
procedures for workers seeking to keep their jobs, according to union lawyers, who are awaiting an IACHR’s
resolution favoring the syndicate.

February 15, 2010
Connecticut-based Praxair, the largest industrial gas company in the Americas, plans to invest US$150 million in
Mexico in 2010. The company will channel the funds into strengthening its installations in traditional industrial hubs, a
hydrogen plant in the city of Tepeji, an air separation facility at Ciudad Sahagun in the state of Hidalgo, along with a
gas filling unit in Altamira and an air separation facility in Monterrey. Praxair could also expand its presence in the
country over the next five years with additional investments of US$1billion.

AMIS Expects 3% Growth This Year
February 17, 2010
Mexico’s insurance sector saw a real-term increase of 9.4% in premiums in 2009, but that number drops to 6.3%
when discounting a large contract signed by Seguros Inbursa with Mexico’s state oil company Pemex. This compares
to expected real-term premium growth of 2.8%-3.0% in 2010, and the 3.7% growth seen in 2008, according to AMIS.
Growth was 13.3% in nominal terms in 2009. Higher growth in the year came from coverage restructuring plans and
partial payment schemes—among other things—which prevented a large increase in policy cancellations. Auto
premiums dropped 0.9% in the year, partly due to a 26% decrease in new car sales, which lowered auto to 20.4% of
total insurance premiums in 2009 from 23.3% the year before. Credit insurance dropped 13.9% in the year. Claims
totaled just under Mex$131 billion (US$10.2 billion) last year, rising 8.5% in 2008, thanks to higher auto theft and
increased deaths and sickness in the country. Life led the increase with a 16.3% rise in claims.

Cemex To Issue Debt For (Mex)$30 Billion
February 15, 2010
Mexican cement maker Cemex, the fourth-largest in the world in terms of production capacity, requested
authorization of the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) in order to publish a prospectus to place

Arca To Invest (Mex)$100 Million During 2010
February 15, 2010
Embotelladora Arca’s snacks division known as Bokados will invest (Mex)$100 million in 2010 and expects to open its
third production plant near Mexico City in the near future in order to further its national coverage. So far the company
has invested US$22 million, excluding this year’s announced investment, in its subsidiary. Part of the investment went
to opening their second plant in Ciudad Obregon in the state of Sonora in 2008. Over the last three years, the
company has doubled its distribution routes to nearly 1,000, and estimates exports of US$2.5 million.

Water Authorities Agree On US$103 Million Drainage Works
February 17, 2010
Mexico’s state water authority Conagua, the Federal District (DF) and the State of Mexico (Edomex) governments
have agreed on hydraulic infrastructure projects worth (Mex)$1.32 billion (US$103 million) to solve drainage
problems. The resources will come from a trust fund known as Fideicomiso 1928, which contains funds paid to
Conagua by the DF and Edomex governments in return for water services. At a meeting in Mexico City, Conagua
head Jose Luis Luege Tamargo, DF mayor Marcelo Ebrard and Edomex governor Enrique Peña Nieto discussed
some 42 projects to be carried out before the rainy season begins in May. Works include dredging, repairing and
channeling waterways, building new pumping stations and building new drainage lines. As the projects are still in the
planning stage, it is not yet clear whether they will be called to tender or carried out by Conagua.

February 15, 2010
Retailer Wal-Mart de Mexico completed the acquisition of Wal-Mart Centroamerica from its parent company Wal-Mart
Stores Inc., and regional investors. Walmex, as the Mexican unit of Wal-Mart is known, said it issued 604 million
shares and paid (Mex)$1.42 billion in cash to shareholders to complete the mostly stock transaction. The deal,
announced in December, adds 519 stores to Walmex’s existing 1,477, and gives it operations in Guatemala, El

Technological Parks To Drive Development And Investment
February 19, 2010
As a means to attract investment from domestic and foreign firms, the Mexican government plans to build more than
30 scientific and technological parks in several locations, among them the States of Mexico, Baja California,
Michoacan, Yucatan, Morelos, Tamaulipas and Jalisco, in order to provide advanced technology and innovation
capabilities similar to those found in the pilot project at Apodaca in the state of Nuevo Leon. Through its Technology
Park Program, the federal Ministry of Economy (SE), in conjunction with the private sector, is seeking to house smalland
medium-sized companies that will help develop technologies and encourage innovation and development of
small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Televisa To Buy 30% Stake In Nextel
February 15, 2010
Mexican media giant Grupo Televisa has signed an agreement with Latin-American digital trunking operator NII
Holdings to acquire a 30% stake in Nextel Mexico for US$1.44 billion. NII is based in Virginia and has wireless
operations in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Peru. Televisa will also be granted an option to acquire an additional 7.5%
equity interest in the company that will be exercisable on either the third or fourth anniversary of the completion of the
initial investment. Last week, Televisa won regulatory approval from the antitrust body to go ahead with its bid to buy
into Nextel, and the companies were granted regulatory approval to bid together in the coming May auction for blocks
of frequency in the 1.9GHz and 1.7GHz bands. Televisa’s purchase is subject to winning at least part of the spectrum
tendered.
Judge Slams JPMorgan Chase Over Televisa Loan
February 20, 2010
In a ruling unveiled late last month in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Judge Jed Rakoff said JPMorgan Chase & Co.
structured a US$225 million loan deal for Mexican telecom company Empresas Cablevision SAB in a way that it
would have allowed a major competitor of Cablevision to gain confidential information about the company, which is
Mexico’s largest cable television operator. That competitor, Telmex Internacional SAB, is owned by Mexican
billionaire Carlos Slim, who has been fighting off Cablevision’s advances on the Telmex telephone monopoly.
Cablevision itself is a unit of Grupo Televisa SAB, Mexico’s largest media giant. The dispute amounts to one of the
year’s first showdowns between two of the country’s most powerful companies.

February 17, 2010
The Ministry of the Economy (SE) has announced an 80,000-metric-ton quota for powdered milk imports during 2010.
The imports must come from World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries, under most-favored-nation
clauses. This year’s quota is in line with import permits assigned in 2009. The allocation mechanism will allow for
40,000 tons of imports by the public sector entities responsible for social programs engaged in milk distribution, while
the rest will be allotted to private sector companies.

Tourism Returns To Mexico
February 16, 2010
Mexico is counting on a favorable-to-the-U.S. dollar/peso exchange rate as well as its proximity, in order to attract
recession-shocked Americans to fuel Mexico’s tourism industry, one of its major sources of foreign income. The
Ministry of Tourism (Sectur) reported 2009 results for Mexico’s tourist sector, indicating that 21,500,000 foreign
tourists visited the country, resulting in revenues of US$11.2 billion. The report indicated that average tourist
expenditure dropped 10% in comparison to the previous year while hotel occupancy dropped 7%. The report also
stated that overall behavior of the sector is recovering, due to better circumstances, particularly when compared to
last year’s H1N1 health scare due to which the number of international flights that landed in Mexico during May 2009
dropped almost 53% in comparison to the same period the year before. Additionally, the number of visitors from
Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Argentina has significantly increased. Furthermore, Sectur is working on an airtransport
agreement with Panama, a country that plays an important role as a flight center in Central America.
Medical Tourism Set To Expand
February 17, 2010
The Ministry of Tourism presented an initiative by which it expects to expand medical tourism, with goals of attracting
up to 450,000 visitors seeking medical services by 2015, and some 650,000 visitors by 2020. Target income for these
years would be US$1.3 billion for 2015, and US$4.5 billion by 2020. The project seeks to enlist all private hospitals
with international certification potential, and target Hispanic communities in Texas and California, particularly those
that are uninsured or underinsured, during the initial phase. An estimate by the Ministry indicates that 46 million
people in the U.S. are uninsured, and spend between 3 to 11 times more on health services than the average
Mexican. During the initial five-year period, the program will focus on "elective" procedures, such as plastic surgery,
ophthalmology and dentistry, as well as basic cardiology and chemotherapy treatments. So far 40 hospitals with
international certification potential have been identified, with 8 of them already holding such recognition; however, the
Ministry indicates that an additional 50 hospitals will be required to join the network, a goal that could approximately
require a US$1.1 billion investment.

SHCP Forecasts Growth At 3.9%
February 18, 2010
The federal Treasury Secretariat (SHCP) reevaluated its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates for this year,
projecting an increase of 3.9% instead of 3.0%, as the economic recovery of the country is expected to continue due
to both internal and external conditions. Concerning external demands and indicators of production, the SHCP
explained that a significant rise had been observed in nonpetroleum exports, automobile production, manufactured
products, trade and transportation. As for internal demands, the Treasury Secretariat took into account the increasing
sales of large department stores and retailers from the self-service industry, as well as imports of goods to the
country. Nonetheless, the Treasury Secretariat made it clear that these projections could only encourage a moderate
optimism in the short run, and that it was still necessary to carry through structural reforms deemed to be essential to
build a more competitive economy.
Oil Surplus From 2001 Through 2008 Estimated Above (Mex)$1 Trillion
February 18, 2010
The Federal Superior Audit office (ASF) revealed that the federal government obtained surpluses between 2001 to
2008, mostly resulting from oil revenues, for (Mex)$1.281 trillion. Of this amount, 71% was used in budget
enhancements to cover recurring costs at government entities. The results of the 2008 public account report stressed
that accumulated surplus is similar to the public sector’s debt, which amounted to (Mex)$1.262 trillion, indicating that
if the excess income had been used otherwise, a net reduction of such debt could have been obtained. The ASF also
indicated in its report that the federal government’s expenditure is full of hidden spending shortfalls that are handled
through irregular transfers into trusts or funds. During 2008, 353 of these trusts or funds were registered by the
federal Treasury Secretariat (SHCP) for a total of (Mex)$505.76 billion, 54% more than in 2007.

New Mexican Passport Rule Won’t Affect Border Crossings
February 15, 2010
A new Mexican government rule that U.S. visitors present passports when entering Mexico by land, sea and air will
not be enforced at Baja California’s border crossings, authorities said in Tijuana. The top federal immigration official in
Baja California said that Mexico lacks the infrastructure to enforce the regulations at busy ports such as San Ysidro
and Otay Mesa. The rules, set to go into effect March 1 in other parts of Mexico, will not be applied to short-term
visitors along the northern border. Likewise, cruise ship passengers who briefly disembark at Ensenada won’t be
required to present a passport. The announcement of the new rules has come as Mexico has worked to increase
security at its ports of entry. The federal government is in the process of installing a new electronic inspection system,
known as SIAVE, at its land border crossings as a means of detecting illegal weapons and other contraband.
More Investing Their Way To Visas
February 20, 2010
Mexicans with enough cash are increasingly taking advantage of a special visa that offers immigrants a chance to live
in the United States if they invest in this nation. Immigration lawyers said that escalating violence in Mexico is the top
reason for the increase in wealthy Mexicans relocating to Houston. The government’s E2 visa requires someone who
moves to the U.S. to invest at least $150,000 in a new or existing company. The number of Mexicans toting the E
class of business visas, the vast majority of which are E2, more than doubled to 16,411 in 2008 from 7,903 in 2005—
the last year figures were available.

Parties Seek To Limit Executive Powers
February 16, 2010
Legislative groups of opposition parties PRI and PRD in the Senate are preparing a package of constitutional and
legal amendments set to "balance" the political reform initiative promoted by President Calderon, by promoting
procedures that will limit the Executive’s power. In addition, to seek the ratification by Congress of all cabinet
appointments, the PRI will promote greater expenditure oversight and controls on the federal government, while the
PRD will propose modifications to the legal framework that would allow the President and Governors to be subject to
impeachment; the ability of independent candidates to run for office; rights for citizens to propose referendums; and
provide greater power and authority for the Federal Superior Audit office so that it can act in "real time" rather than
simply report on past expenditures. Left-wing parties also oppose Calderon’s proposal to reduce the number of
lawmakers in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, as well as the initiative to raise the threshold for political parties
to maintain registration to 4% of votes.
PRI Set To Obstruct Regulations On Unions
February 15, 2010
Under the argument that they will not support any initiative that undermines labor rights, PRI legislators said that they
will resist any reforms that oblige unions to become more transparent and accountable. According to a document from
the PRI’s senatorial group, they will only evaluate topics in President Calderon’s labor initiative that do not attempt to
undermine trade union organization privileges. The PRI said that it will analyze initiatives set to stimulate investment
and employment, the promotion of labor benefits and rights, as well as greater income for the improvement of
workers’ well-being.
Opposition Leaders Support Minister Of Interior Who Left Ruling Party
February 17, 2010
Mexican President Felipe Calderon expressed confidence in his interior minister despite the official’s sudden decision
to quit the ruling party. Interior Secretary Fernando Gomez Mont, the point man in the government’s bloody war
against brutal drug cartels, split with the conservative National Action Party after clashing with its leaders over their
decision to form an alliance with Mexico’s main leftist party to win local elections. The decision was a blow to the party
and prompted speculation that Gomez Mont may step down from his Cabinet post. But Calderon insisted that he
trusts Gomez Mont and is "very respectful of the internal life of parties, including the National Action Party."
Opposition party leaders in Congress recognized Gomez Mont as the federal government’s valid political negotiator.

investment of (Mex)$280 million for the construction of three high schools, two middle schools and the opening of
night classes, mainly in marginal neighborhoods.

U.S., Mexico Test Border Cooperation
February 18, 2010
In a politically sensitive operation along the Arizona-Mexico border, U.S. Border Patrol agents and Mexican federal
police officers are training together, sharing intelligence and coordinating patrols for the first time. The goal of the
historic partnership: a systematic joint attack on northbound flows of drugs and migrants, and southbound shipments
of guns and cash. It is part of a major, unannounced crackdown begun in recent months, involving hundreds of U.S.
and Mexican officers along the border’s busiest smuggling corridor. The initiative appears likely to expand. Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Mexican Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna will sign a declaration
agreeing to replicate the experiment elsewhere. But the unprecedented effort faces imposing obstacles: violent drug
cartels, long-standing Mexican reluctance to interfere with illegal immigration into the United States and a legacy of
corruption.
Merida Plan Extended
February 19, 2010
The United States and Mexico signed in Mexico City a declaration of principles to improve control over drugs and
arms trafficking along the U.S.-Mexican border. The agreement, signed by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano and Mexican Secretary of Public Safety Genaro Garcia Luna, seeks to "extend" the Merida Initiative, a
joint strategy launched in 2007 to combat drug trafficking, U.S. authorities explained. One of the main objectives of
this partnership is to share classified information in order to obtain precise and specific results in a coordinated way.
The agreement also seeks to produce "reliable" reports on criminal activities in order to increase the exchange of
information on arrests, confiscations, investigations, crime trends and risks in a simultaneous and interactive way.
Other goals are to coordinate efforts to localize illegal points of entry along the border, effectively control drug-dealing
turfs and improve surveillance. Napolitano also signed a protocol with Interior Secretary Fernando Gomez Mont to
simplify and improve coordination and communication between the two governments in case of disasters or in
situations threatening the national security of both countries.
Mexican Bishops Criticize Drug War Strategy
February 16, 2010
Mexico’s Roman Catholic bishops have joined in the growing criticism of a drug war that has captured top kingpins
but done little to stem gang violence. The Mexican Council of Bishops said in a report that the presence of thousands
of troops on the streets and a corrupt judicial system raise human rights concerns. They said too many suspects are
paraded in front of the media before being charged and urged the government to speed up police reforms so that
thousands of troops now leading the drug war can return to their barracks. The report comes in the wake of the
massacre of 15 people in the border city of Ciudad Juarez that provoked widespread criticism of Calderon’s drug war
strategy. Most of those killed were students with no known ties to drug gangs, and investigators say the gunmen may
have been acting on mistaken information. Despite the presence of thousands of troops, the city across the border
from El Paso, Texas, has become one of the world’s deadliest. Last week, a crowd jeered Calderon during a visit to
Ciudad Juarez, where 2,600 people were killed last year. Calderon pledged to spend more on social programs in the
city of 1.3 million people, but he vowed not to remove soldiers from the streets.
Alleged Drug Lord From Sinaloa Cartel Extradited To U.S.
February 18, 2010
A suspected top Mexican drug kingpin who allegedly smuggled hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cocaine and
heroin into the United States has been extradited to stand trial in Chicago, Illinois, federal law enforcement sources
said. Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, whose father allegedly leads a large faction of the Sinaloa cartel, is expected to
be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Chicago on federal narcotics trafficking conspiracy charges detailed in an August
2009 indictment. He was arrested by Mexican authorities nearly a year ago. Zambada-Niebla was indicted along with
his father, Ismael Zambada-Garcia, and nearly three dozen other defendants last summer in what was described at
the time as one of the most significant international narcotics conspiracy cases ever brought in the United States.
Zambada-Niebla was earlier indicted in the District of Columbia for trafficking nearly US$50 million in cocaine to Los
Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Officials say he will be tried in Washington after he faces charges for the Chicago
indictment.
18 Tons Of Stolen Explosives Found In Mexico
February 21, 2010
Industrial-use explosives were stolen from a tractor-trailer on a highway near the border between the states of Nuevo
Leon and Coahuila, prompting federal police and army soldiers to launch an operation to relocate the material, the
federal Public Safety Secretariat said. The shipment was later recovered that same day on a highway leading to the
industrial city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon’s capital.

Industries Refuse To Combat Obesity
February 15, 2010
According to the National Public Health’s Center for Nutrition Research, the two largest soft drink companies along
with dairy and yogurt companies are seen as the most averse to comply with new labeling initiatives and the reduction
of their products’ portions in order to help combat the current obesity crisis facing Mexico’s youth. Several experts
have called for the elimination of advertising targeting children and the removal of "junk food" from schools,
eliminating soft drinks and snacks that contain more than 130 calories per package, a move they claim requires
political will. The Ministry of Education has so far avoided limiting the types of products made available inside schools
but has promoted initiatives involving guidelines discouraging the sale of soft drinks and sweetened beverages while
suggesting programs targeting healthy foods and beverages.

Fonden Allocates US$14.8 Million For Flood Damage
February 15, 2010
Mexico’s national disaster fund Fonden has allocated over (Mex)$192 million (US$14.8 million) in emergency funding
for areas hit by flash floods last week. The funding will be used for immediate repairs to potable water, drainage and
sewerage networks, among others, while the scale of the damage to local infrastructure is being assessed. The State
of Mexico received (Mex)$91.7 million, while the Federal District (DF) received (Mex)$46.8 million. The states of Baja
California and Michoacan received (Mex)$28.7 million and (Mex)$25 million, respectively. Fonden also approved
(Mex)$17.6 million to repair damaged hydraulic infrastructure in DF, according to a press release by national water
authority Conagua. Of the (Mex)$800 million that are needed to improve hydraulic infrastructure in the eastern
boroughs of Mexico City, the most important include channeling works on the La Compañia, Los Remedios and
Churubusco rivers, as well as rehabilitation of the city’s primary and secondary drainage networks.
Mexico’s Earthquake Recovery Could Be A Model For Haiti
February 17, 2010
Spurred by the social unrest following the 1985 quakes, the Mexican government, aid groups and activists built or
rehabilitated nearly 100,000 housing units in the capital in less than two years—an achievement widely considered a
success that could serve as a model for quake-torn Haiti. Keys to the effort: Reconstruction was coordinated by a
single government agency created just for that task; thousands of temporary tin shacks were erected on side streets,
allowing residents to stay close to home and help rebuild their residences; and the federal government doled out
contracts to a wide array of Mexican architects and builders who concentrated on particular neighborhoods, not the
entire quake zone. In today’s Mexico City, evidence of the 1985 quakes—which ravaged the central historic district—
is barely visible in the bustling metropolis of 20 million.
