Spanish term or phrase: pero aún lo es más su potencial como perfil profesional
Looking for confirmation here...this text is on development agents:

El número de profesionales que trabaja en Europa en actividades identificables como propias del Desarrollo es muy elevado, pero aún lo es más su potencial como perfil profesional; para ello solo hay que pensar en el número total de municipios existentes en toda Europa.

Is this saying that the potential is greater than the actual number? Thanks in advance.

but the potential number of jobs for professionals with an equivalent profile is even greater


Explanation:
I think it means that the local authorities are not yet "saturated" with professionals working in the development field, so potentially the number of professionals with this career could be much higher than the ones already counted

but they have an even broader professional potential


Explanation:
I don't think "perfil" is key to getting the idea across, and "broader" implies the potential to expand.
