Oil proceeds provide a disproportionately large share of government revenue and Mexico's trade, accounting for over 30% of fiscal revenue and 13% of total export revenue in 2013. However, oil production has declined, which has strengthened the case for far-reaching reforms in the energy sector and helped the government of the president, Enrique Pena Nieto, to pass a potentially game-changing reform in December 2013.
After peaking in 2004 at 3.9m barrels/day (b/d), production has dipped to an estimated 2.8m b/d in 2014. The recently approved energy reforms may boost output in the medium to long term, depending on the effectiveness of their implementation and on investor uptake. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that production will increase to 2.9m b/d, based on the assumption that private investment will start bearing fruit by the end of the forecast period, although this is surrounded by significant uncertainty.
