KKR Looking at Mexico Opportunities, David Petraeus Says

KKR & Co. is looking at possible investments in Mexico as the nation ends a seven-decade state monopoly in oil production, said David Petraeus, who runs a division for public policy and economic research.

KKR, the private equity firm led by billionaires Henry Kravis and George Roberts, is considering opportunities such as real estate and corporate takeovers that will arise from Mexico’s energy opening as well as its growing economy and increasing consumer spending, the retired general said.
