Economic Situation: Issues related to international trade persist but have improved. The trade deficit has decreased, stock markets have rebounded, and initial investments are beginning to emerge, albeit modestly. The circulation of money in businesses has increased, small businesses are starting to generate income, and unemployment is declining. However, tourism has not been able to generate significant revenue. The government needs to stimulate the economy by focusing on agriculture, industry, real estate, and healthcare.

Social Issues: Family-related cases are on the rise, with increased violence against children and the elderly. The suicide rate is also climbing, and safety in daily life is diminishing. Drug-related crimes, robberies, and thefts are expected to increase, alongside outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases. The weakening social fabric is attributed to imitation from dramas and films. The government must enforce stricter regulations and establish new social norms, as well as find ways to prevent negative role models.

Political Landscape: Politics is beginning to progress as intended, with a more open political space. Political parties must accelerate efforts to raise public awareness and understanding of their policies. Political meetings will be held openly but still under state control.
