English term or phrase: use of
Bonjour,
Je suis un peu perdu par cette notion de "use of" opposée à "source of".

Free cash flow was a use of $100 million compared to a source of $70 million in 2019.
Merci de votre aide, c'est assez urgent

Explanation:
La traduction de la phrase entière est: "Les flux de trésorerie disponibles représentaient une utilisation de 100 millions de dollars par rapport à une source de 70 millions de dollars en 2019."
Le sens est qu'en économie, si le solde de clôture est supérieur au solde d'ouverture, il y a un flux de trésorerie positif.

Asker: Merci, mais je trouve quand même ce type de traduction pour le moins littéral. D'où ma question... Peut-être parler de crédit/débit ?
