According to the International Monetary Fund's latest “World Economic Outlook," Peru will have the fastest-growing Gross Domestic Product in the region this year and next.

The IMF figures foresee that Peru's GDP will expand by 1.5% this year and 5.8 percent next year.

Brazil's economy is expected to fall by 0.7%, while Mexico will likely see a 7.3% percent decline this year, before recovering next year with a 3.3% growth. Argentina, will see a GDP decline of 2.5%, but is expected to recover 1.5% next year.

Venezuela will see a decline of 2.0% this year and a further fall of 0.4% next, which will make it the only country among the nine that will continue in recession into 2010.

In general, Latin America's economies are expected to see 2.5 percent fall this year and a 2.9 percent expansion next year.
