Portuguese term or phrase: aumento vegetativo
É consenso também que embora os espaços para crescimento em geral não estejam esgotados, houve certa estabilidade nos últimos anos, ou um aumento vegetativo.



Também achei essa definição em um site que é mais específica para receita mas parece ser o mesmo significado.

"Aumento vegetativo da receita. Aquele que se verifica naturalmente, devido, via de regra, ao crescimento econômico, sem alteração das regras tributárias."

lockstep growth


Explanation:
I would finish the sentence "lockstep growth at best."


e.g.,

Depending on the energy policy adopted, energy growth could continue in lockstep with economic growth (“business-as-usual scenario”), with attendant environmental and security problems, including growing dependence on imported oil, or modest energy growth (“technical fix scenario”), or even zero energy growth (“zero energy growth scenario”) – the latter after a modest
period (about ten years) of adjustment.

Organic Growth


Explanation:
see:<http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/organicgrowth.asp#axzz1c... definition on 'Investopedia' =

"What Does Organic Growth Mean?
The growth rate that a company can achieve by increasing output and enhancing sales. This excludes any profits or growth acquired from takeovers, acquisitions or mergers. Takeovers, acquisitions and mergers do not bring about profits generated within the company, and are therefore not considered organic.

Organic growth represents the true growth for the core of the company. It is a good indicator of how well management has used its internal resources to expand profits. Organic growth also identifies whether managers have used their skills to improve the business."
