MEXICO CITY, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Mexico on Tuesday published
guidelines that will govern public-private investment
partnerships in public works, opening the door for more private
investment in government infrastructure projects.
While a law governing public-private partnerships in public
works was passed in January 2012, guidelines that flesh out
project standards remained pending until their publication in
the government's official gazette on Tuesday.
The guidelines specify that the finance ministry will
identify potential projects and evaluate their economic
viability.
President Enrique Pena Nieto has said Mexico needs to
upgrade its aging ports, highways and airports to bolster the
domestic economy, which is expected to grow by only 1.3 percent
this year, according to government projections.
