Mexican President Weighs Bids on Huge New Oil Refinery Construction

AMLO has a lot on his plate.
From Sputnik:
Mexico's new President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Sunday that tenders for the construction of a new large oil refinery in the country's southeastern state of Tabasco would be announced no later than March 2019.

"The oil refinery will be built here because oil will be processed here as well, it will not be exported. This is the best site for the construction of the new refinery," Obrador said at a ceremony of the laying of a symbolic cornerstone for the future facility as quoted by the Excelsior news portal.

The Mexican president also confirmed that the state-owned Pemex petroleum company would receive additional $3.6 billion to boost its oil production....
He's also looking at the precious metals business.
