Mint是“薄荷”,可是全部大写是为什么?请看对话:
A: Though it may take some years, possibly as many as 30, economic forecasters predict that the MINTs have the potential to join the top 10 largest economies in the world.
B: True. They are also part of the N-11 (next 11), as opposed to the G7 wealthiest countries.
Note: An acronym of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey, MINT is used to group the four countries with growing influence. As well as having a large population, these countries are “younger” than many of their competitors. This means that they’re likely to see a significant rise in the number of people eligible to work relative to those not working. Another key advantage of three of the MINT countries is their geographical location. Turkey is both European and Asian, Indonesia is at the heart of Southeast Asia and has connections with China, and Mexico is nestled between the United States and the rest of Latin America.
