English term or phrase: writedowns
Estimados traductoras y traductores:

Junto con saludar y esperando que se encuentren muy bien, agradecería mucho a ustedes que me ayuden con la trauducción del término "writedowns". A continuación adjunto el párrafo en donde aparece el término.

Profits need to be sustainable, of course. They may be the first line of defence against trouble but they disappeared all too quickly during this crisis, wiped out by writedowns and by the implosion of business models. “The discounted future profit streams of financial institutions went from quite something to almost nothing in an instant,” says Andy Haldane, head of financial stability at the Bank of England.

Gracias.
Ángela M.
