also hope you will be of some interest, the article by Mr. KnochenhauerPAPEL OF PETRÓLEOGuillermo Knochenhauer
Energy reform is necessary, but not for the reasons that the gobiernoy the PAN have said, but to change the role that oil has been inthe national development.
ago 30 years that oil revenues are used to finance nearly 40 percent of government current expenditure, which must be moderated and porotro hand, were financed with revenue verdaderareforma product of Inland Revenue. The oil revenue should not be cause for seguirdifiriendo the settlement of the country's fiscal structure, which is the querecauda lower taxes on business income among OECD members dela.
Energy reform is inseparable from a prosecutor. Losimpuestos have to join with the oil revenue, without which it will replace those, paraasignarlos a coherent destination allowed to leave the lag in development that Mexico is trapped.
Changing the role of oil revenues in national development, esutilizarla to increase the country's wealth, to distribute conequidad, keeping prices stable and to deepen libertadesdemocráticas.
hundred billion dollars annually, which is what will generate Pemexeste 2008, can do much to stop the progressive deficit countries, these four areas: the rate of GDP has been declining for 30 years, ladesigualdad corrupts social cohesion and coexistence, estabilidadmacroeconómica is held in foreign currency flows and lademocracia extraordinary, although it has freedoms which must be preserved, is muylejos to be the system of national life.
The discussion of energy reform has at least two levels: Elde private interests would achieve what they did with Pemex lastelecomunicaciones and banks. The problem is not the capital privadotenga to be rejected for being private, the problem is that you know enMéxico, how to increase profits is to participate in the tráficode influences the state controls, but for the benefit of those conautoridad.
The other plane involved in energy reform in the dilemma of development modelode: convert oil revenues into social welfare, comodice neoliberalism, making the country-its people, its laws and susinstituciones-be able to "attract and retain funds "... and social laderrama expect these benefits.
