English term or phrase: lagging indicators
Definition from The Economist:
Old news. Some economic statistics move weeks or months after changes in the business cycle or inflation. They may not be a reliable guide to the current state of an economy or its future path.

Example sentence(s):
  • Another downside is that lagging indicators encourage a focus on outputs (a number-based measure of what has happened), rather than outcomes (what we wanted to achieve). Bernard Marr & Co.
  • Not only do they predict how your lagging indicators will perform, you should be able to influence them. Professional Growth Systems
  • The reactionary nature of lagging indicators makes them a poor gauge of prevention. For example, when managers see a low injury rate, they may become complacent and put safety on the bottom of their to-do list, when in fact, there are numerous risk factors present in the workplace that will contribute to future injuries Ergo Plus

indicadores rezagados


Definition from Banco Central del Ecuador:
el indicador rezagado (línea discontinua verde) presenta un retraso en
sus picos y valles, y por último el indicador adelantado prevé con antelación los cambios en el ciclo
económico.

Example sentence(s):
  • Indicadores económicos y de los mercados financieros que tienden a cambiar sólo cuando una economía ya ha cambiado, o ha comenzado a seguir una pauta o tendencia particular. Se quedan rezagados (normalmente seis meses) en el ciclo económico global en lugar de avanzar (como lo hacen los indicadores coincidentes) o avanzar (como lo hacen los indicadores principales). Los principales indicadores rezagados incluyen la tasa de desempleo, los préstamos al consumo pendientes, los préstamos comerciales pendientes, el gasto empresarial, las ganancias empresariales, el valor contable de los inventarios comerciales, los costos laborales unitarios y el índice de precios al consumidor (IPC). - Diccionario de negocios
