Growth rates last year in Colombia and even Peru, which has performed better than any other Latin American country since 2000, also dropped significantly. And Mexico, the worst-performing of the five economies over the last 15 years, has outdone itself; this year, growth is expected to reach barely 1%, if that.
类似地，尽管巴西经济在2009年衰退后相对而言韧劲十足，但在去年放缓到了几近零增长。去年，哥伦比亚甚至秘鲁（自2000年以来，后者的表现比其他拉美国家更为出色）也出现了大幅放缓。而这五个经济体中过去15年表现最差的墨西哥也毫无起色，今年的经济增长预计只有1%（如果有的话）。
