Mexico's national fiscal transparency framework is anchored by the Ley Federal de Presupuesto y Responsabilidad Hacendaria (LFPRH 2006), which mandates quarterly statutory reports to Congress (Arts. 107-110) with monthly portal disclosure via Transparencia Presupuestaria, and by the LFRCF 2016 governing the Auditoria Superior de la Federacion (ASF), whose head is elected by a two-thirds majority of the Chamber of Deputies for an eight-year term (CPEUM Art. 79). Mexico ranked 6th of 125 countries in the IBP Open Budget Survey 2023 (OBI 80/100), reflecting transaction-level expenditure disclosure through COMPRANET, statutory citizens budget requirements (LFPRH Art. 42), and broad salary disclosure obligations under LGTAIP Art. 70 fr.VIII; the principal transparency gap is the absence of a formal independent fiscal council.
