Spanish term

(entidades) economía popular y solidaria

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs Withholdings at source
Spain/Ecuador. This term appears in a list of what appear to be conditions of liability for tax withholding at source. I'm looking for a definitive translation of the term, with special emphasis on how to render the "y solidaria" part.

"Por RF: Intereses en operaciones de crédito entre instituciones del sistema financiero y ***entidades economía popular y solidaria***
Por RF: Intereses pagados a bancos y otras entidades sometidas al control de la Superintendencia de Bancos y de la Economía Popular y Solidaria
Por RF: Intereses pagados por entidades del sector público a favor de sujetos pasivos
Por RF: inversiones (captaciones) rendimientos distintos de aquellos pagados a IFIs"

Thanks guys for all the input so far. All your suggestions and comments have been really helpful. A different job has just come in, so I'll come back to this one later.

NB: There is an explanation of the concept in Spanish on this website (http://www.seps.gob.ec/web/guest/noticia?conoce-la-eps), but my problem is how to render it in English.

social and inclusive economy

Plenty of translations with "solidarity" out there, but that word often doesn't sit easily for me and I think this is better.

First, what is it? Here are the principles as set out in the relevant law:

"- La búsqueda del buen vivir y del bien común;
- La prelación del trabajo sobre el capital y de los intereses colectivos sobre los individuales;
- El comercio justo y consumo ético y responsable;
- La equidad de género;
- El respeto a la identidad cultural;
- La autogestión;
- La responsabilidad social y ambiental, la solidaridad y rendición de cuentas; y,
- La distribución equitativa y solidaria de excedentes."

The word "inclusive" is relevant to several of these (gender, cultural identity, worker involvement) and is used by a couple of big hitters. First, the EU:

"Lastly, the National Institute of the Popular and Inclusive Economy (Instituto Nacional de Economía Popular y Solidaria (IEPS) has been created under the MIES to articulate a new economic vision for inclusive growth with autonomy in developing a strategic objective."
https://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/sites/devco/files/erd5-countr... (p. 8)

I think "social" is better than "popular", but it's a moot point. That's the OECD's choice in its Country Notes on Ecuador:

"The economic axis presents a vision of a social and inclusive economy."
http://www.oecd.org/dev/americas/Ecuador-Country-Note-Leo-20...

Ecuador aside, "Social and Inclusive Economy" seems to be a "thing":

"support strategy for the new social and inclusive economy models"

Note from asker:
Cheers. I share your reluctance about "solidarity".
"Inclusion" is indeed a buzzword these days. Just yesterday I had to revise an article and the reviewer had specifically asked for further mention of the term and its relevance to the whole. The poor author however, didn't seem to understand what they were asking for so I had to spell out for her in Spanish.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I agree with you about "solidarity", but I don't feel your translation conveys a clear meaning. //You're presumably suggesting something like "social and inclusive economy entities". This sounds translated, and I don't think people will understand it.

Thanks for the comment, Phil. I disagree // No, I would suggest something like companies/organisations in the Social and Inclusive Economy sector. EPS is an institutional term whose integrity must be preserved, IMO.

social and solidarity economy (organisations)

Have a look here:
"Social and Solidarity Economy
[...]
We consider whether Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) organisations (i.e. co-operatives, mutual societies and community- based organisations) bring these two perspectives together and promote a different kind of inclusive development."

And here:
"The Social and Solidarity Economy in Ecuador: opportunities and challenges

Summary :

Although increasing attention has been paid in recent years to the importance of the social and solidarity economy in Latin America, there has been little written specically about the Andean region. This study contributes to this knowledge gap through an exploration of the social and solidarity economy model in Ecuador. The research offers insight into the historical factors that have contributed to the development of the social and solidarity economy and idenfies the different institutional environments in which the sector operates highlighting the opportunities and challenges that exist."

co-operatives, mutual societies, and community-based organisations

I think we should bear the context in mind: it's not some airy-fairy policy document about making the world a better place, it's about tax.

Your job as translator is to give the reader a clear idea of what organisations are being referred to, and I don't think any of the three previous suggestions does this.

James's first reference says "cooperatives, mutual societies and community-based organisations", and I think this gives a far clearer idea of the meaning.

You could include the Spanish if necessary, followed by my translation in brackets. Just a suggestion!

> bodies < in public ownership and the social economy

The term of economía is also a micro-economic concept of capital ownership e.g. una Sociedad de economía mixta - a joint-venture private and public Company.

Here 'solidaria' is redolent of social ownership and socialist or even communist by another name.

The political reality: the USA would not tolerate yet another Socialist-to-Communist Country or Caribbean island on its southern doorstep.

Compare in the ex-GDR: VEB - Volkseigene Betriebe: people's owned - nationalised - enterprises and LPG - Landesproduktionsgenossenschaften - agricultural co-ops.

Example sentence:

Ecuador: the fundamental change brought by the 2008 Constitution is the adoption of the *neo-socialist* doctrine which will lead national norms, plans and policies.

The social economy is formed by a rich diversity of enterprises and organisations, such as cooperatives, mutuals, associations, foundations, social enterprises and paritarian institutions, sharing common values and features:
