peer agreement (net): +1derating Explanation: Normally an engineering sort of term, but can be used in a financial context as well, e.g.: "Kooyman says the derating of financial stocks is almost overdone and earnings prospects look good. "So it is almost a safe investment, but not necessarily big growth over the next six months," he says." Reference: http://www.btimes.co.za/99/0905/news/news07.htm |

derating Explanation: This appears to be another case where the Spanish language has taken an English term and adapted it. This term refers to downgrading of the engine's performance. As this particular example states, this derating can be recovered by engine maintenance. |
