Economy grows 3.2% in January

The economy grew 3.2 percent in January year-on-year, after ending 2012 with a 1.9 percent increase, according to President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

"We've passed from the 1.9 percent increase of the EMAE (Economic Activity Monthly Estimator), to the 3.2 percent in January," the Head of State announced during a rally at the Government House.

After climbing 8.9 percent in 2011, the economy stranded during the second quarter of 2012, and began recovering during the third one.
