The Brazil fell 25 positions in a ranking that measures the rate of growth of GDP (gross domestic product) of 166 countries, prepared using data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

With an expansion of only 0.9% in the economy last year, the country ranked 128 th place. In 2011, he was in 103, after a high of 2.7% in GDP.

Over the past 20 years, only three times Brazil was in a worse place than the present: in 1998 (when it stood at number 141) in 1999 (138) and in 2003 (141).

The ranking considered only the countries that provided data for the entire period examined (1993-2012). The numbers refer to real economic growth, ie adjusted for inflation.

With this post, the blog Finds Economic starts the series "Brazil in the World" in the coming days to examine economic indicators from more than 100 countries, based on the database of the IMF, which was updated last week.

In these two decades, the best time was in 2010, when the national economy advanced 7.5% and reached the 31 th position. That year, the growth was higher than in emerging countries such as South Korea, Chile, Mexico and Russia.

Ranking 2012

The fastest growing economy in the world in 2012 was that of Libya, with a high of 104.5%. However, one should make the caveat that countries with civil war or political instability tend to have strong variations in GDP, up or down. This growth Libya, for example, came after the economy shrink just 62% in 2011.

Usher in the 2012 ranking appears Greece, which, after giving the defaulting investors and adopt a sustained fiscal squeeze, saw its economy shrink 6.4%. It was the fifth decline in Greek GDP then that accumulates 20% drop since 2008.

World

Last year, Brazil's performance was below average not only in Latin America and the world, as well as the G-7 (the group of leading industrialized countries), which had not occurred since 2003.

The change in GDP from one year to another is important because it portrays a specific moment.

To see the long-term trends, however, it is best to use a longer period averages. The chart below shows that in the ten years ending in 1993, Brazilian GDP grew by an average of 2.8% per year, a figure lower than in the rest of the world.

In the following years, the economy was losing momentum until 1999, when the country had a much worse performance than the average of the other. There has been a jump in 2000, followed by a period of stability. From 2006, the GDP started to grow harder, to reach the world average in 2011. The following year, he returned to take off the other countries.

In other words, the graph shows that, despite the "pibinho" last year, accumulated in the last ten years we are still much better than the rich countries. But back to grow less than Latin America and the world average
