At the same time, inflation expectations fell by 0.1% from 5.3% to 5.2% on a simple average basis, and remained constant at 5.5% on a GDP weighted average basis. Growth expectations for 2016 rose in Brazil by 0.5%, in Peru by 0.2% and in Guatemala by 0.1%, and decreased in Uruguay by 0.3% compared to May. Growth expectations remained constant in Paraguay at 3.0%, Colombia at 2.9%, Mexico at 2.4% and Chile at 1.7%. Expected growth for the region now ranges from -3.4% in Brazil to 3.8% in Guatemala. Inflation expectations for 2016 decreased in Colombia by 0.8% and Paraguay by 0.3%, while they increased in Brazil and Uruguay by 0.2% and in Guatemala by 0.1%, and remained stable in Peru and Chile at 3.5% and in Mexico at 3.1%.
