Uruguay per capita GDP climbs to 4th place in Latin America

Yes, according to Latin Business Chronicle, which quotes IMF recent figures, we nudged Venezuela and got the fourth spot, with something under $13k per capita. Imagine when we finally strike oil! (BTW, the drilling platform is still sitting still, at this rate it's going to take a long time...)


I can't access the precise GDP/pc figure for Uruguay, as LBC, a wonderful publication, is too costly for my budget and the numbers I can find online seem to be old.

In any case, it's interesting to note that Chile has risen to the top, with over $14k per capita, followed by Argentina and then Mexico. Which means that Venezuela has fallen several rungs from just a year or so ago, when its citizens were temporarily richer than Argentina's.
