French term or phrase: déboucler en urgence
Hi all! I've found some answers for both parts of this term already, but I'm wondering if there is a set phrase, such as "emergency unwind" or "emergency close-out" (for which Google sends me ads for last-chance sale prices on used ambulances - ha!) or if I should stick to the verb form?

Thanks!

"Très schématiquement, des transactions fictives anticipant la hausse des marchés pour un encours de l’ordre de 50 Md€ sur produits dérivés européens sont débouclées en urgence par la [Banque] les journées du 21, 22 et 23 janvier (de l’ordre de 1 million d’ordres) dans un marché en baisse. Le 24 janvier, la [Banque] rend publique les malversations et la perte associées, de l’ordre de 5 Md€. Elle annonce par la même occasion des provisions pour 2 Md€ sur des actifs subprimes"

unwound in a hurry/on an urgent basis
Explanation:
"Unwind" is indeed the verb you want, although "closed out" also works (especially if you translate 'encours' as "positions").
