Argentine growth of 3.5%?

Tell 'em they're dreaming! (Bonus points if you get the reference).

Argentina's economy is not growing. It's contracting and definitely won't be growing 3.5% next year. Only INDEC and idiots believe the figures the Argentine government produces.

Nice to see Chile, Peru and Colombia growing so well. Go the Pacific Alliance!

I 'expect' Wigan to be European Champions in 2015 - but I doubt it will happen.

@3 It's not because of the Euro which is a faulty currency. It will struggle to grow until the Euro politcians realize that countries like Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus are given support to exit the Euro-Zone.

And the improved performance of Argentina

Are we fools or are we fools,

One minute Argentina is going down, the next she is up in the clouds,
Now either someone is telling porkpies,
Or someone thinks we believe what we read all the time.
mmmmm
