The price of oil, from which the government obtains one-third of its revenue, has plunged 40% in six months. With last year’s economic growth expected to be 2%, following just 1.1% growth in 2013, Mexico will barely have grown faster during the first third of Peña Nieto’s six-year term than it did during the last quarter-century.
作为政府三分之一收入来源的石油价格半年暴跌40%之多。今年经济增速仅为2%，2013年也仅为1.1%，墨西哥经济在培尼亚·涅托六年任期前三分之一的增长速度并不比过去四分之一世纪快很多。
