Spanish term

Ensanches

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Shareholders' meeting of a Peruvian corporation
Acordaron por unanimidad constituir otra reserva adicional a la reserva legal, con el objeto de cubrir ensanches, capital de trabajo u adquisición de activos.

Would it have something to do with land?

Discussion

Luis M. Sosa Jun 2, 2022:
Ensanche Aquello de hacer una reserva facultativa me es muy familiar, pero la verdad este término casi no lo había visto. Si es posible ver la(s) frase(s) anterior(es) y posterior(es). Si estoy en lo correcto, expansión/incremento de la capacidad productiva se usa más.

Se llama ensanche a una ampliación o una prolongación de algo.

En tu contexto lo veo como "extension".
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I'm not clear what you mean by this, but I don't believe it refers to payment term extensions, which is what your references imply.

Capital increases, widening

The term ensanche denotes amplitude, hence an increase or widening of capital

enhancement/increases of production capacity

In the internet, the word 'ensanche' is associated with city expansion. To adapt that definition to a company, one should think about how a company expands.

A company expands through increasing its production capacity. This makes possible adapting to new economic contexts in case of saturation capacity.

Development

At first I thought that, as you say, it had more to do with land expansion, as in, the expansion of land. If that is the case (which I don't think it is unless previous paragraphs indicate it), the correct term would be "enlargement", just as Collins suggests:
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/spanish-english...

Still, I have the feeling it is not a proper business term, but one that was borrowed from another field to express a financial idea.
In that sense, the term "ensanchar" is more closely related to agronomy and refers to the act of expanding, as in gaining more space, with a small property that makes, in my opinion, the term "expansion" not optimal.

This property does come from the financial area, you are not "expanding" because the paragraph is not talking about growing in that sense, but about having a reserve to use in the case of needing it in three specific contexts: the second and third one are financial terms, or at least, in this case, they are used that way.

So, the first one also must be used that way, and in that sense, the best translation might be "development", since it talks about expanding, but in an economical context, where there is no physical space to expand.
Collins put this as a synonym of "expansion" in an economic sense
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-thesaur...

A quick search in Google Scholar also shows the term "development" used in a more active way than "expansion", where it is used more in a historical sense. It also shows it being used in the same context as the paragraph you have shown. Di Giorgio (1999), in the Journal of Banking & Finance even uses both terms directly
