un probl?me de périm?tre

Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
Sentence: le groupe a "davantage un probl?me de dette
qu'un probl?me de périm?tre"
This is with regard to the holdings or diversified business activities of the group...
Usually, I translate this term as "range" or "scope" but here it could be "a problem of holdings/holdings problem" or "a problem of consolidations" or "a consortium problem." What do u think? I tend to favor "a problem of holdings/holdings problem."

sorry, I meant \"the group has more a problem with debt than with diversification\" (i.e. operating boundaries)
