The good news for Colombia is that it is better off than many of its neighbors. Although projecting concrete figures is a sterile exercise in these worrisome times, most analysts predict that Colombia’s economic performance this year will be inferior to Peru’s, but similar to Chile’s and Brazil’s and better than that of Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico, a country expected to contract by more than 2%.
对哥伦比亚而言，好消息是它的经济形势比邻国要好。虽然在如此令人忧心的形势下预测具体经济数据毫无意义，但大多数分析家都预测哥伦比亚今年的经济表现将不如秘鲁，而与智利和巴西相当，但要好于阿根廷、委内瑞拉和墨西哥。据预测墨西哥的经济规模将会萎缩2%以上。
