Not ‘per year’, it’s ‘each year’.
Per year would mean that in year 1 he overstated it by 3.6, in year 2 it was overstated by 7.2, etc etc.
Each year means that every year, he overstated it by 3.6.
I wish ‘journalists’ and headline writers would learn to be more careful with what they write. Words do have meanings, and journalists, of all people, should know this.
