Comparison of GDP per capita between Brazil and Portugal over time

Growth trends are very similar between both countries, with spikes and falls in similar years with a small shift of one or 2 years. I'm not sure what it means, but it could mean economical changes reflect slowly in Brazil than in Portugal.

Evolution of GDP per capita in several countries over the last 30 years

Here we can see how the GDP of Brazil and Portugal (and some other countries) changed over the years. The 2000s were great for the economies of almost every country: Portugal's GDP doubled and Brazil's grew three times. On the other hand, the 90s and 2010s were not so great economically-wise.
