Mexican Supreme Court of Justice decisions. The court is expected to resolve groundbreaking disputes involving policies implemented by the current administration. The outcomes could possibly set a path for the next administration as well as for the investment in Mexico in coming years.
- Possible amendments to the electric industry law. These could result in a move away from the current mandate that benefits state-owned entities and reduces the participation of private companies in the industry.
- Potential change of port control for the Mexican Navy. This previously was under the management of the Communications and Transportation Ministry.
- Possible amendments to the hydrocarbons law. Until now, the law has reinforced and increased the reasons for permit revocation.
- Proposed changes to natural gas transportation policy. Currently, this policy requires users to contract natural gas transportation services with state-owned entities, at times jeopardizing the contracts and supply from private companies.
- Possible changes to the appointment of commissioners for the Federal Telecommunications Institute. This regulatory body for the telecom and broadcasting markets governs the decision-making and regulation enactment in those sectors.
