Spanish term

cerrar la brecha de inversión en infraestructura pública

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities Public Infrastructure Investment
Hola a todos:

Mi nombre es Adela Sánchez y trabajo como traductora en el Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC) del Perú. Estoy traduciendo al inglés el discurso principal de la Ministra a propósito de su participación en la 5ta Reunión Ministerial de Ministros de APEC en Australia, en el mes de marzo.

El término que aparece anteriormente forma parte del siguiente párrafo que me gustaría lo revisen con detenimiento.

(Versión en español)
- Las economías en desarrollo como el Perú tienen un elevado déficit de infraestructura de servicios públicos, para lo cual se ha estimado US$ 23 mil millones, y específicamente para transportes, la brecha es de US$ 7 mil millones.

(Versión traducida)
- Developing economies, including Peru, have a huge deficit in public infrastructure services. To overcome this shortage, US$23,000 million are estimated to close the investment gap in infrastructure of such a kind, and specifically US$7,000 million, for transportation infrastructure.

Mil gracias por su ayuda.

Patricia Rosas Feb 23, 2007:
Adela: use "billion" (not x,000 million). "... have a huge US$23 billion deficit in public infrastructure, and specifically for transportation, the shortfall is US$7 billion",

Vanessa has correctly translated the phrase in your question, but I don't see it in the original text. Suerte!

bridge/close the gap in public infrastructure investment

To overcome this shortage, US$23,000 million are estimated to close the investment gap in infrastructure of such a kind, and specifically US$7,000 million, for transportation infrastructure.

Yo diría: U$23,000 million are estimated to be needed to bridge this gap in infrastructure, specifically U$S 7,000 million, for transportation.

I agree with Patricia Rosas´suggestion about using billion and the translation she gives.
