According to the Economic Commission for Latin American and the Caribbean (ECLAC), regional economies will grow by 3.5% in 2013, which is three decimal points lower than the commission’s projection made in December last year.
The reason for the decrease is the continuing uncertainty surrounding international economies and the decrease in economic growth in developed countries.
According to the data, the country expected to register the greatest growth in 2013 is Paraguay, with a projected GDP increase of 10%, followed by Panama (8%), Peru (6%) and Haiti (6%).
Bolivia, Chile and Nicaragua follow with 5%, then Colombia with 4.5% and Uruguay with 3.8%.
Mexico, Ecuador, Cuba, Costa Rica and Argentina all have 3.5%, then Honduras with 3.3%, Guatemala with 3.2% and the Dominican Republic with 3%.
At the bottom of the list is Jamaica with 0.4%.
