In this context: (About Argentina)
En el plano economico, el deterioro no fue menor: despues de haber estado a principios de siglo entre los diez paises mas importantes del universo segun varios indicadores....
I know that it was in the top ten richest countries during this time. So can importante also mean rich?
Thanks!

I think that in this context the word "important" implies the reason for the importance itself, which is usually the economic (and sometimes military) power.

I think importante is linked the the ''various indicators" that are probably defined later in the body of the work.
