President Porfirio Lobo took office in January 2010 and sought to achieve the unity of political forces. The Lobo government succeeded in enacting a new minimum wage and pushing forward the justice reform. The yearly GDP growth rate reached 2.5% in 2010 while it was -1.9% last year. During the past three decades，Honduras’s average growth rate of HDI reached 1.09%. But its ranking was still very low among all nations. Drug trafficking and the worsening public security situation were major concerns among local people. The Lobo government had been recognized by the United States and some Latin American governments. But it was still facing the challenge of breaking international isolation since former President Zelaya was ousted in 2009.
