Spanish term or phrase: CARTERA
Después del alto aumento de la cartera el 2006, en el 2007 se logro volver a reducirla y mejorar el índice de rotación. Sin embargo se continúa observando en algunos sectores del mercado la tendencia a una mayor lentitud en la rotación de la cartera, a pesar de los esfuerzos de cobranza. Aunque mejoró la rotación, el porcentaje de cartera vencida a más de 30 días aumento en comparación del año anterior.

Receivables or Outstanding Accounts Receivables


Explanation:
Accounts receivables compose the 'cartera'.There is 'cartera corriente' (current receivables) and 'cartera vencida' (past-due receivables). As they are talking about reducing the 'cartera' it is referring to efforts geared to collect the past-due receivables improving therefore the turnover. In banking, the cartera is the outstanding loan portfolio, which is in turn Accounts Receivables from the banking perspective.
