activity/business exposed to competition Explanation: - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2004-05-10 09:09:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That is a particular problem for the UK because of the relatively large proportion of our economy exposed to competition from the Eurozone www.bankofengland.co.uk/speeches/speech105.htm \"Verksamhet\" kan också vara \"sector\" beroende på vad du har, t.ex. den offentliga verksamheten = the public sector China\'s banking sector could be exposed to competition http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/the_economy/newsid... Large parts of public sector have been exposed to competition and market mechanisms |

competing or competitive Explanation: Depending on the context, may be possible, as in competing in the marketplace. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-05-13 14:25:48 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Well, I would go with a business that has to compete etc., the \"exposed\" suggestion is sort of a round-about way of saying just that, and is not used that frequently in English, really. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-05-13 14:45:49 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Or, you could also say facing competition, especially if this is unfair and coming from abroad. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1037 days (2007-03-13 12:55:30 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- ..company in a competitive environment, is yet another option. This upon revisit, as I was alerted by the Visitors feature in Proz.com to this post. |
