cumulative change in ag indicators resulting from Fpublic investment
This is from a report on scenarios developed for public investment in different agricultural sectors in Paraguay. This section discusses the cumulative change in the indicators (one of which is private consumption) over a seven-year period. The original text is:
Por ejemplo, la ganancia acumulada en términos de consumo privado se ubica en el rango 1 511 000 / 2 948 000 millones de guaraníes de 2014, dependiendo del sector.
My best guess is: For example, the cumulative gain in terms of private consumption is between ..., depending on the sector.
It seems there are different translations of ganancia acumulada, depending on the context. Thus, my doubt.
Thank you!

cumulative gain/imcrease
I agree with your suggested translation. I think "consumer spending" is more common than "private consumption".

dry powder
According to the reference information provided by Liz Askew, 'ganancia acumulada' is dry powder in English
What does Dry Powder mean for Reserves?
Talking of reserves denotes the cash reserves of a company or an individual. Cash reserves come in handy during tough financial conditions. So, a company or an individual builds up this to prepare for the unexpected downturn. A company with a lot of such liquid assets gets a financial advantage over others.
Such types of investments come in handy during a steep decline in the market. During a decline, investors can easily sell such assets to get cash. Also, the cash from selling such investments can be used to buy the stock at low prices during the decline.

accumulated wealth
comes from cumulative savings and a bequest received from his parent. From the Cambridge English Corpus. These variables are conceptually related to income, cultural capital and accumulated wealth and therefore coincide with the traditional definition of socio-economic standing.6 days ago

Note from asker:
| Thanks Liz, but does this sound like it relates to private consumption? Obviously, I'm not very familiar with the topic or I wouldn't be asking the question in the first place, but this doesn't sound like it's related to private consumption. ? |
