Mexico City — Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he will discuss on Tuesday ways to reduce the tax burden of heavily-indebted state oil firm Pemex.
“We’re going to talk about how we’re going to reduce taxes and duties for Pemex, so that it can be strengthened,” Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference, without providing details. He is due to speak on Tuesday afternoon in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz at an event about a national plan for the exploration and production of oil and gas.
