entorpecer el crecimiento


Explanation:
Entorpecer is more like hindering. Another possibility would be disminuir o reducir el crecimiento, which would simply be to reduce growth

  -> Thank you.
neutral  Maria: I don't think you can "amortiguar" el crecimiento, but you sure can reduce it ;o) Maria
14 mins
  -> Another option would be "desanimar" (disencourage)
agree  JH Trads: de acuerdo con reducir y desanimar, pero es verdad que "amortiguar" lo asocio más con una cosa "mala", por ejemplo amortiguar la mala noticia..

  -> Gracias, Hugo. Eso depende del contexto. Amortiguar el desempleo sería una buena noticia.

Robert, I also associate "amortiguar" con amortiguar una caída, amortiguar el impacto de algo (una noticia).

debilitar / sofocar / restringir / dificultar / mermar


Explanation:
Hi Erika,

Of these different options I prefer

debilitar, with the meaning of to dampen, to render less strong

and

sofocar: to stifle, to choke

I hope it helps
