The draft Federal Expenditure Budget (PPEF) 2027 proposes allocating 8,946 million pesos to fighting corruption, 9.3% less in real terms than the 9,561.6 million approved for 2026, according to Expansión Política's report of October 9, 2026 on Annex 30 of the economic package.

Annex 30 gathers the spending of the three branches of the Union and of the Attorney General's Office, and forms part of the economic package that the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit delivered to Congress. An analysis by researcher Anaid García Tobón of Fundar, cited by Forbes México on October 1, 2026, measures a different universe, six anti-corruption institutions, at 8,534 million pesos, 0.8% less in real terms than in 2026, with four of the six in decline. The size of those line items determines how much staff and how many oversight systems the federal comptroller and audit areas operate with during 2027, and how much public information they manage to process.

Annex 30 assigns 173 million pesos to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, eight million less than in 2026 (4.76% real), a figure García Tobón describes as "minuscule against the 20,893 million of the Attorney General's Office." Transparencia para el Pueblo is left with around 27 million pesos, against the 1,097 million spent by the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data (INAI) in 2024. The Superior Audit Office of the Federation is left with 2,914 million pesos, the Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat with 1,799 million, and the Executive Secretariat of the National Anti-Corruption System with 137 million. The same analysis adds that only 2.35% of anti-corruption spending is directed to those two institutions.

The Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat maintains that it operates at 52% of the cost of the defunct INAI and with annual savings of more than 500 million pesos. The Chamber of Deputies has until November 15 to approve the Federal Expenditure Budget, and the figures in Annex 30 may change during the discussion.
