Pacific Alliance members outstand in Latin American performance, says IMF
Brazil is still by far the largest economy in Latin America despite its recession and the impact of the devaluation of the Real, according to the latest report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which said Venezuela dropped to the position of the region’s seventh-largest economy with a GDP that’s now half the size of Colombia’s.

Oct 13th, 2015 - 08:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0You must remember that the world view you have is not the same vision I have. Dilma is doing better than the political conditions allow.
Oct 13th, 2015 - 09:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0The dollar does not serve to make quantity comparisons between nations.
And the IMF that is controlled by the West is not a multilateral institution, nor has credibility to make any statement.
golf.....#2 tobi is well trained like a dog. Right on que!! I will give that to the campers.
Oct 13th, 2015 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Does not sound very optimistic for Venezuela.
Oct 13th, 2015 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hey brasshole I would prefer my world view to yours any day, you don't have one, populist idiot, do you think the IMF would ever be controlled by the likes of people from Mercosur Governments, you must be crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weeeeell below, just as an afterthought, the article's author concedes. Oh, yeah almost forgot!:
Oct 13th, 2015 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“A country’s wealth can also be measured by their per capita income...Chile, Argentina and Uruguay are among the best placed large nations.”
How come?!!
Wasn't Argentina the worst possible pupil, the country who paid off its debt to the IMF so that it could apply its own economic policies without regard for the organism's traditional recessive formulas?

The French are a great people and I do not believe for a second they deserve a course such as the one you are predicting!
I am glad to see that La Lagarde and I are in complete agreement. She validates all I have been saying over the past few years re: The Pacific Alliance.
Oct 13th, 2015 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does any recall that Argentina once was 2nd? Argentina rode the agriculture gravy train.....that's now drying up. China is drying up.....struggling to contain their declining economy.....so much so that President Xi needs to visits the evil empires.....USA, UK , Europe et al. Does not bode well for SA socialists. Brazil is even in further decay, soon chaos when they decide to impeach and remove fat ass guerilla dilma. Most of SA socialist regimes are declining in breakneck speeds.......

Oct 13th, 2015 - 11:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Enjoy your moment in the sun. I will have no mercy when (once again as in 2008-2012), your economy goes to the utter bus station toilet.
Remember, the USA produces nothing, it's growth is YET AGAIN based solely on property speculation. Look at Australia for your future... They rode a mining boom, that led to a housing bubble. The mining boom is gone... they are like a train that went off a cliff... for a brief time they keep going up and straight...
But then.

Burn baby burn.
I actually think our economy sucks, but that's all relative now isn't it Brasshole?
Oct 13th, 2015 - 11:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Still pretending to be in South America?
Ever identify the location in Mendoza during that protest?
@11 Captain
Oct 14th, 2015 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Trolley at @10 is actually from Mendoza....... remember the guy with big feet ? his sisters too ? the sasquatch family.
He changes his name every 3 months, but always inserts “Troll” somewhere in it.
The Brassole is one of a two-turd team, who live in Curitiba, Paraná. They defend DumbAss Dilma and the PT, regardless of their f*ck-ups.
Oh I remember his names. I've been since since...mmmm....maybe 2011. For someone who is from Argentina he is clueless to not only the pulse of the people, the ones with an education, he is also clueless with respect to the geography. If he is from Argentina, Mendoza, I think I've seen more of the country then he has. He still has not identified that intersection in Mendoza last year when the farmers where protesting.

As I have said many times the reason I don't prove anything is because I DON'T NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING.
Oct 15th, 2015 - 07:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0I have already commented on the inherent racism that lies in it. Why do I have to prove where I am, but YOU people do not? How do I know you are in NorthAmoland or in Brazzolland?
When you guys figure that double-standard out, there will be a glimmer of hope for the both of you.
I've already told you I will shake your hand in Argentina and show you my licenses. Besides, the biggest racist here if you Tobi/brasshole. That you prove in most every derogatory post with regard to people of other countries.
Oct 15th, 2015 - 10:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah ...yeah..yeah......retort......everyone else does it so do I. Your self inflicted poverty of your life in somewhere other than SA created a complex in you so inferior that there may be no hope for you. Maybe you should runaway from your parents basements and move to South America somewhere.
@14 Trolley
Oct 15th, 2015 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have said you lived in MDZ, and I believe you...why shouldn't I ? unless of course, all the 'Trolley' appearances aren't just you under different names.
I live in Brazil (São Paulo, as I said several times before) , otherwise, quite frankly, why would I give a shit what happens here ?
On the other hand, you can be sure that the brasshole too, lives in Brazil...in Curitiba ; his blind, irrational defence of Dilma, Lula and the PT, plus his ridiculous videos, are fairly good evidence of that.
Where the hell are all of these twats trolling at? They must be strolling and trolling the streets before the election.
Oct 16th, 2015 - 03:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder if scioli will have better luck then cuntlips as sucking cock for money to invest in argentina? The seem to fail to comprehend that investing means a return. Not an argentine determined return, the one with the money to invest determined return. If it's not there, neither is the investment.
Argentina's lesson #2: You do not call the should with foreign investors.
