| The opportunities for international investment and participation in the Mexican energy sector continue to grow. The Mexican government has earmarked more than US $10 billion for energy investments this year, US $ 2 billion more than last year. CFE is calling for the construction of more than 24 gigawatts of generation capacity in the near-to-mid term. Opportunities in the LNG, pipeline and upstream sectors are also larger than ever. With the country’s stable political situation, its well-defined legal environment and investment-grade sovereign debt rating, Mexico is a market that international investors and developers can’t afford to overlook. However, only the best informed international investors and developers will be able to successfully exploit these opportunities. As a consequence, Mexican Energy 2005 has been designed to provide the necessary information (including briefings by key government officials on new policy developments)—as well as the ‘helpful hints’—that will make the difference between success and failure for developers, investors and financiers. Come and meet the people who can make your deal happen. | CONFERENCE SPEAKERS INCLUDE: - Dino Barajas, Partner, Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, LLP – Conference Chair
