Growth Projection for Latin America

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has published its growth projections for the year 2023 in Latin America. According to the report, Argentina will experience growth of 0.2%, while Brazil would reach 0.9%. Colombia and Mexico will also record modest growth of 1.0% and 1.8%, respectively. On the other hand, Chile will be the only country in the region that will not grow, with a fall of 1.0%. As for Peru, it is expected to have growth of 2.4%. These numbers are important to markets and investors as they can influence investment decision-making and business planning.


It is important to note that these projections are subject to change based on various economic and political factors. Therefore, it is necessary to continue monitoring the evolution of the economy in the region to make informed decisions.



Chile projects negative growth


When talking about negative growth in a country, it refers to a situation in which the economy of that country is contracting instead of growing. In other words, the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decreases instead of increasing.


This can be the result of several factors, such as a decrease in production, a drop in the demand for goods and services, a drop in foreign investment, among others. Negative growth can have serious consequences for the country's economy, such as the loss of jobs, the decrease in the purchasing power of the population and a decrease in the quality of life.




It is important to note that negative growth is not the same as an economic recession. A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. However, a country can experience negative growth without technically being in recession.


To reverse negative growth, governments can implement economic policies that encourage investment and consumption, as well as measures to increase production and the country's competitiveness. These policies can include tax incentives for companies, training programs for workers, measures to reduce bureaucracy and encourage foreign investment.


In conclusion, negative growth is a worrying situation for any country, as it can have serious economic and social consequences. It is important that governments take measures to reverse this situation and promote sustainable and equitable growth.

Escape from Sobibor (1987)



Today I want to tell you about a movie I saw called "Escape from Sobibor". The film is based on the only documented successful revolt at a Nazi death camp in occupied Poland during World War II.


The story takes place in the autumn of 1943 in eastern Poland, where the Nazis exterminate several prisoners every day, who are separated and women and children are immediately admitted to the gas chambers, like most men. However, some of them have not yet broken away and are rallying around Red Army soldier Alexander Pechersky and planning a revolt to free as many prisoners as possible.


The movie is very well made and makes you feel the horror of the concentration camp. The images are authentic and immerse you in the dense atmosphere of the camp.



Unknown and sometimes inexperienced actors unfortunately often act too stiff. However, Rutger Hauer does his job very well and is convincing throughout the film.


In short, "Escape from Sobibor" is a movie that makes you feel the horror of the concentration camp and shows you the bravery of those who fought for their freedom. Despite some small details, the movie is very good and will keep you on your toes until the end. If you like history and movies based on true events, you should definitely watch "Escape from Sobibor".


If you are looking for a way to enjoy the movie, you are in the right place! I invite you to review the following links:

Luther - Murders and psychological warfare (2010 - 2019)

 Blog Rating: 8.75 out of 10




This British series is about the life of a troubled but brilliant police detective at work, separated from his wife he loves passionately and who is torn between solving serial murders he investigates and his attempts to rekindle his marriage. 


His wife has found a new man, and he is in a relationship with a slightly crazy and narcissistic woman who killed her parents and her dog. Luther's stories show him in his daily life where he constantly has to solve new cases, and at the same time he has to fight a psychological battle against the woman who follows him and that does not make his life exactly easier.


Ruth Wilson as Alice Morgan


Idris Elba plays Luther, the chief inspector of the London police, a charismatic character, hard and bright. The rest of the actors are also good, especially the crazy woman interpreted magnificently by Ruth Wilson, who is sometimes a good help and other times she is looking to ruin Luther.


Some episodes are of high quality, are varied and offer some memorable scenes quite hard and brutal. Luther is exciting and offers unexpected twists in some episodes, it is a good series of crimes really recommended.
