GDP per person (adjusted for inflation) in Brazil grew at a rate of 2.5 percent annually from 2003-2014, more than three times faster than the 0.8 percent annual growth of the prior government (1995-2002). This growth rate was achieved in spite of the 2008-09 global financial crisis, which pushed Brazil into recession in 2009; and this comparison includes the slowdown of the past few years as well.
