ceased activity Explanation: in the sense of an activity which has been stopped, ended even temporarily or terminated. As there is no context only that it is in the general financial domain,one cannot determine whether the activity was stopped temporaily or terminated for good, a unit has been closed down or so, therefore ceased activity seems to be the closest in meaning Reference: http://www.wordreference.com |
