Spanish term or phrase: esta dinámica
Hi. CONTEXT:

"Fruto de esta dinámica de inversión en redes de fibra óptica en Perú, en 2009 se formó el consorcio XXX, que fomenta las sinergías y permite la integración vertical de todas las empresas implicadas en la conexión de Cochabamba al Internet de alta velocidad".

I don't want to use 'dynamic', because it sounds too literal to my ears. I've translated it temptatively as 'process', but I'm looking for a word that is closer to the semantic connotations of 'dinámica': movement, excitement, progress.

Thanks to anyone with a bright idea.

agree  Deborah Lockett: that's what it means, and very idiomatic. Wave or surge.

  -> surge is good, too - would need the previous sentence to make a choice

agree  Altogringo: And with surge as an alternate option.

these investment dynamics


Explanation:
We use the plural in English. Plenty of hits for "investment dynamics". Meaning 2 in the Oxford English:

dynamics
■ plural noun
the forces which stimulate development or change within a system or process.

this dynamic process


Explanation:
In the spirit of having your cake and eating it...

You need something that can be followed by "of investment". "Process" is the word that best fits, but the connotations of "dinámica" can simply be captured by an adjective, I think.

this dynamic investment


Explanation:
I don't understand why you think "dynamic" sounds too literal. I think it is perfectly fitting here, and can't think of a better alternative.
