OPEC+ and Mexico: Supply cut or refining goals?
Report summary
Mexico convinced the OPEC+ group to lower their total supply reduction target from 10 to 9.7 million b/d. Mexico refused to accept a higher cut, arguing that it was impossible for the country to comply with other government targets if they did. A new clue has emerged to explain Mexico's resistance. A week following the OPEC+ meeting, the Mexican President announced an increase in domestic refining -- long-planned, but only achievable in the midst of widespread cuts in global refinery utilization. This report explores the role of four elements that help explain Mexico's position during the OPEC+ negotiations: • The president's approach towards OPEC • Production goals for 2020 • Mexican government and Pemex hedging programs for 2020 • The push to increase domestic refinery utilization
