Spanish term

.....poner coto a los repos y al prestámo de valores para apuestas a la baja.

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
From a document about banking, specifically the need to reform ´dubious´banking practices. ´Repos´refers to repurchase agreements, and I think the ´prestámo de valores para apuestas a la baja´refers in some way to so-called ´short banking´.

Please could someone help me with a more exact translation of this, I´ll be very grateful!

This is Spanish from Spain and I think the text I´m translating is intended for bankers.

securities lending for short selling

Hi Nick,

I presume from the text of your question that the bit you're having trouble with is:
prestámo de valores para apuestas a la baja

"Préstamo de valores" is "securities lending" and "apuestas a la baja" is "short-selling".
