Corruption in Mexico has permeated several segments of society – political, economic, and social – and has greatly affected the country's legitimacy, transparency, accountability, and effectiveness.[1] Many of these dimensions have evolved as a product of Mexico's legacy of elite, oligarchic consolidation of power and authoritarian rule.[1]
Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index scored Mexico at 26 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"), its lowest score ever. When ranked by score, Mexico ranked 140th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.[2] For comparison with regional scores, the highest score among the countries of the Americas[Note 1] was 76, the average score was 42 and the lowest score was 10.[3] For comparison with worldwide scores, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), the average score was 43, and the worst score was 8 (ranked 180).[4]
