뜻
Over a short period of time; soon.
문화적 배경
In Spanish business culture, 'a corto plazo' is often used to justify 'parches' (quick fixes) to avoid deeper structural changes, a topic of much debate in local media. The term is widely used in the 'Emprendimiento' (startup) scene in Mexico City, where 'short-term' often means 'before the next funding round'. Due to historical economic volatility, 'a corto plazo' in Argentina can literally mean 'this week', as long-term planning is often difficult. The contrast between 'corto' and 'largo' plazo is a standard rhetorical device in political speeches across Latin America to show a 'balanced' vision.
