Mexico has completed its annual oil hedge for 2018, which will lock in an average export price of $46 per barrel of crude, Deputy Finance Minister Vanessa Rubio said in an interview.

In addition to the put options bought on the market, a larger Oil Revenue Stabilization Fund, with the help of the central bank’s exchange-rate surplus, will help guarantee the price, Rubio told Bloomberg News.
