The charts on that page are labelled GDP, but the values are %. I presume he means GDP annual growth. If that is correct, the annual rate of GDP growth has fallen from 11% to 6%. This is indeed a significant drop, rather similar to what China has experienced, but it's still much better than many other countries. Wasn't a figure of about 2% recently reported for the US? The reason for Peru's relatively good economy is of course its export of minerals, to China especially.
