French term

essoufflement

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
La région a d’abord été reconnue comme une zone d’exploitation minière de gisements d’or et de cuivre, à partir des années 1950. La fin de l’exploitation des principaux gisements combinée à l’effondrement des prix du cuivre sur les marchés ont entraîné, au début des années 1980, la fermeture de la majorité des puits miniers en exploitation.

L’exploitation des ressources forestières a alors pris le relais pour compenser l’essoufflement de l’industrie minière.
