1) In particular, the global economic crisis and the European finance crisis have gotten in the way of developed countries growing further.

2) In particular, the global economic crisis and the European finance crisis have put a damper on developed countries growing further. klingt das natürlich?

Do both sentences sound natural? I want to make sure if it is correct to use idioms like "get in the way of" and "put a damper on" in this kind of context. If there is a better option for this, please let me know! Thanks.

Natürlich

I think both sound natural and easily understandable. I find the second sentence flows a little better and sounds more educated.
