MAT
Explanation:
I had this in my personal glossary as MAT, because that's what that particular client said to use for TAM (but no explanation was given). The end client was a beverage manufacturer. After doing a little digging, I think this is what it refers to:

Totals anuales móviles

En la columna del centro aparecen los totales anuales móviles (TAM), que son
aquellos que recogen las ventas globales de los últimos doce meses a partir del considerado

Moving annual totals
Last quarter, year to date (YTD), moving annual totals (MAT) and current year forecasts are given.

Average Annual Rate (TAM por TMA, tasa anual media)


Explanation:
Hola Cecilia,

He visto que se utiliza a menudo en técnicas de análisis económico la tasa anual media, forma aparentemente más común que tasa media anual. No te puede aclarar mucho, pero encontré un texto sobre técnicas de análisis económico que quizá te resulte útil:

http://webs.uvigo.es/alvarez/teaching_archivos/tae06_07/Ejer...

Sin más, me resulta difícil decir si tu caso se refiere a esto, pero T.A. es habitual para tasa anual.

Suerte y sonrisas,

Álvaro :O) :O)

Perdón, tanto en el término facilitado como en la explicación, intercambié TMA y TAM, quise decir que parece ser más frecuente tasa media anual en lugar de tasa anual media. :O)

agree  Taña Dalglish: Yo también. For a laugh “TAM” also means a “Rastafarian’s” hat (usually red, green and gold) and they roll their locks up under the TAM!! (shut up Taña!)
