Mexico's financial intelligence unit, the UIF, has signed a cooperation agreement with Pemex under which the two institutions will exchange intelligence and financial data to combat hydrocarbon theft, corruption, and fraud.[^1]

Under the deal, Pemex will hand over financial, economic, accounting, legal, and administrative information to help the UIF identify and prevent operations linked to illicit proceeds.[^2] In return, the UIF will supply intelligence products aimed at identifying, monitoring, and evaluating risks tied to Pemex's financial activities and those of its subsidiaries.[^8]

The agreement extends work already under way inside the Interinstitutional Working Group against the Illegal Fuel Market, a body that coordinates financial and operational intelligence to detect networks involved in fuel theft and illegal hydrocarbon sales.[^3] The read here is that formalising the exchange - binding Pemex to share internal financial records - raises the institutional pressure on the company to act on what the UIF finds, rather than treat intelligence as advisory.
