il saldo si è ridotto di 15 milioni


Explanation:
*balance* in inglese indica sempre il saldo, vedi la definizione del Collins English Dictionary:
10. (Economics, Accounting & Finance / Accounting & Book-keeping) something that remains or is left let me have the balance of what you owe me
11. (Economics, Accounting & Finance / Accounting & Book-keeping) Accounting
a. equality of debit and credit totals in an account
b. a difference between such totals;
quello che noi in italiano chiamiamo "bilancio" viene indicato con l'inglese *balance sheet*, quindi in questo caso credo che il termine *saldo*, come ha suggerito anche il collega, sia l'unico corretto. Ovviamente come è stata girata la frase è solo una possibilità!
Nel link trovi varie definizioni di *balance sheet* anche in contesto.
Spero di esserti stata d'aiuto!
