The first 100 days in office have long been a global benchmark for evaluating the direction and priorities of a new administration.
This practice dates back to US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who in 1933 used his initial 100 days to introduce sweeping legislation addressing the Great Depression. Roosevelt’s agenda, known as the New Deal, was structured around three pillars: Relief for the unemployed, Recovery of the economy, and Reform of the financial system to prevent future crises. By the end of his first 100 days, 15 bills had passed Congress and 76 new laws enacted, setting a precedent for early-term evaluations worldwide.
