Inequality, Corruption And Security Challenges To Dominate Mexican Politics In Coming Decade

  • Fitch Solutions believes Mexico’s political environment faces a difficult decade owing to high levels of income inequality, endemic corruption and a weak security situation.
  • The country’s ability to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and to improve living standards will be crucial to avoiding social unrest in the years ahead.
  • In addition, the policy direction pursued by nationalist-populist President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), whose term runs through 2024, will play a large role in determining Mexico's progress on improving its political risk.
