Spanish term or phrase: sustentación o amortiguación
I don't know what "sustentación o amortiguación de precios" means and as the terms go together I can't really post them as separate questions as that means they might be taken out of context.

Cuanto más significativos sean los ingresos públicos vinculados a la producción y exportación de bienes primarios, más posibilidades tendrá la política fiscal de amortiguar los eventuales efectos sobre el nivel de vida de la población derivados de alzas en los precios internacionales, incluida políticas de subsidio, esquemas de sustentación o amortiguación de precios y transferencias focalizadas de ingresos.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
