This assessment received government comments and feedback on the finalised data. These comments have been incorporated into the assessment at the GDI research team’s discretion. Usually the comments received highlight where a bill is in formulation, or has recently passed into law, and this has been missed by the country assessor. Only comments which are grounded in evidence are incorporated into the assessment.

Mexico faces very high corruption risk across its defence institutions. External oversight is extremely weak and scrutiny is limited by defence secrecy privileges. This extends to procurement and budgets, which are generally non-transparent and only partially publicised. In parallel, weak anti-corruption frameworks for personnel and operations increase corruption risk during deployments.
