Bus/Financial - Economics / Mexico and NAFTA
English term or phrase: in per capita terms
Dear Staff,

Here is a small passage, where the expression" in per capita" has been used.

Now, Mexico is macroeconomically stable. It is one of the richest Latin American countries in per capita terms, and its exports per head are more than double those of Brazil.

For me the key word is "richest". So, from my understanding, the author is referring either to the "income" or the " economic growth". But " income" is more appropriate than "growth".

Le revenu du Mexique par habitant est le plus élevé que ceux des autres pays d'Amérique latine. This is how i would translate it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Regards.
