Mexico’s oil exports went up by 56% in the first quarter of 2017, according to Dallas’s Federal Reserve Bank.
The level of oil and gas production in the country has also increased steadily during the three months.
The wider economy grew, with the country’s GDP expanding, and the consensus GDP growth forecast was revised up from 1.5% to 1.7%.
Growth was driven by service-sector growth, with goods-producing industries – including mining – remaining flat.
