Description: Liberalization of the natural gas industry is complex because the sector combines activities with natural monopoly characteristics with activities that are potentially competitive. The challenges are compounded when the state opts to retain vertically integrated monopolies in otherwise contestable segments of the industry.  Regulatory issues associated with partial liberalization of natural gas markets are analyzed through a case study of Mexico.
