Bus/Financial
This is a heading in a Mexican financial statement. Context:
"contingencias e inversiones".
Context would render useless the usual meanings of contingencias, risks, or hazards. Any ideas? Can this word mean simply "funding"?
Thanks

Definitely cannot be funding. Contingencies does exist and would be something you see on a financial statement.
BTW, you hit Swahili rather than Spanish. If you want more replies, you might want to resubmit.

Comment: "The client and I believe there must have been an error in the
original as this heading was listed as a title for various
investments, and didn't make sense within the context of the
document. But thanks anyway.

Discussion
makes sense in this context, due to the
companies listed under the heading. It
would appear to be companies which make
some type of financial contribution to
the company in question. Thus the dilemma.
