MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's government has pushed back to next week the unveiling of a proposed energy sector overhaul, as President Enrique Pena Nieto on Wednesday weighed the political cost of a divisive bill to revamp an ailing oil industry.

The energy reform, which Pena Nieto said on Tuesday would be presented this week, aims to lure more private investment into the oil, gas and electricity sectors to boost flagging output and drive growth in Latin America's No. 2 economy.
