Italian term

capacità di incasso

Italian to English Bus/Financial Accounting Receivables
Appears in an annual report on operations of a telecommunications company in a section discussing trade receivables in the following sentence:

In particolare si segnala che sulla variazione dei crediti commerciali ha influito la flessione dei livelli di fatturato nonché la migliorata ***capacità di incasso*** nel mercato domestico...

The best I can come up with so far is the rather literal "collection capacity" but I was wondering if there was a better English equivalent.

TIA,
Dominic

collection management (or rates)

Hi Dominic,
I would say this refers to the fact they are managing their receivables more efficiently - and as a result their collection rates have improved

my suggestion:
improved collection rates or more efficient collection management

neutral James (Jim) Davis : Could simply mean their customers are more solvent.

Hi Jim, I wouldnt think so as the term Capacità imo refers to something attributable to the entity making the collection rahter than a quality of the customers.
