Asker: Hola, Giovanni. Te agradezco, pero este análisis se hace antes de empezar los proyectos, así que no sería posible. Tengo la impresión de que hay un error en el documento fuente; seguramente quisieron poner "currency volatility".

deuda de la divisa [local]


Explanation:
A bote pronto, creo que se refiere al hecho de que “la deuda de la divisa local” “el riesgo de la divisa del país” amenaza la viabilidad financiera. Es decir, si vas a tener que invertir o cambiar tus Euros en la divisa del país “X”... y este tiene una deuda externa enorme que pone en “peligro” o en “riesgo” la estabilidad de la divisa, (es decir, la divisa pueda caer con la tremenda depreciación de lo invertido) La idea de “pasivos” me parece encarrilada, aunque en términos de economía interestatal creo que se habla de “deuda externa”.

Googleando un poco, “deuda de la divisa [local]” quizá podría funcionarte (?)

Parece que aquí lo explican mejor que yo:

A no ser que en vez de “currency” sea “current liability”
: a liability that arises in the ordinary course of business and must be met in a comparatively short time (as an account payable or an accrual of interest not yet due)
