annuler l'effet de levier (opérationnel ou d'exploitation)


Explanation:
Simple suggestion :
... leur effort pour restructurer leur bilan et en y annuler l'effet de levier.
J'insiste, ce n'est qu'une suggestion, inspirée de la définion de l'effet de levier dans le Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique. Ce n'est vraiment pas mon domaine!
