Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / economies of scale - banking
Spanish term or phrase: aporta escala
El sistema establece jerarquías. La captura de valor en los flujos microeconómicos ***aporta escala*** y liderazgo locales.

Para el XXX, la banca minorista representa más del XX % de su negocio, en contraste con otras entidades globales más centradas en banca corporativa y, tal como muestra el cuadro, con una capacidad para ***ampliar su escala*** más limitada en los países diferentes a los de origen.

Las limitaciones de este modelo residen en que, al buscar economías de escala, se producen sistemas monolíticos, infraestructuras tecnológicas rígidas y ciertos procesos poco flexibles que no permiten ***escalar*** en países distintos a los de origen.


I am not sure of the best way of translating 'aporta escala' in this text. Do they mean 'increases returns to scale' or 'scales up' or simply 'increases scale'? I imagine 'ampliar su escala' would be 'increasing its scale' and 'escalar' could perhaps be 'scale up' but I'm not sure about 'aporta escala'.

Many thanks in advance!
