In 2016，the Mexican government was under double pressure，that is，uncertainty about Mexico-U.S. relations and volatility of domestic economy and politics. President Peña Nieto strengthened his efforts to fight corruption. The main challenge throughout the rest of his term is to ensure that the structural reforms are adequately implemented. The ruling PRI lost 7 out of 12 governorships in local elections in June，which implies a considerable challenge in 2018 General election. Economic performance showed no improvement，and the main goal of economic policy was to ensure macroeconomic stability. In social terms，security issue remains to be a primary concern for the public，and protests were becoming normalized. In foreign relations，Peña Nieto government was trying to consolidate relations with the United States，especially with upcoming Trump administration.
