GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Social Sciences - Economics
Spanish term or phrase: palanca de apoyo
El área es la economía. Encontré el término "toggle" pero sospecho que sea el significado técnico y no figurado, como se aplicaría en el siguiente contexto:

Contexto: "Si especulamos sobre puntos donde buscar palancas de apoyo, quiero llamar la atención sobre un tema crítico y que exige estabilidad macroeconómica y menor vulnerabilidad frente los shocks externos, aunque es sobre todo un asunto microeconómico: la generación del entorno económico, social y político para el desarrollo de decenas de millares de pequeñas y medianas empresas."

agree  Gabriel Aguirre: dudosa la frase, pero "palanca" is "lever". I hope this is not taken from the slang for "pulling strings"
