Arabic term

تسهيلات

Arabic to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
I know that most translators simply use "facilities" to correspond to تسهيلات as in تسهيلات ائتمانية. But the truth is the term "facilities" always means مرافق. I am unable to come across a single financial document that has "facilities" in it, meaning تسهيلات. So, what do you guys normally do? do you have an alternative term? Or do you have evidence proving the validity of "facilities"?

Just for the record, my context is "Banking Credit Risk Management" and the terms I am wrestling with here are:

تسهيلات منتظمة/غير منتظمة/تحت المراقبة

and stuff like that. By the way, has anyone stumbled on a good reference on that topic? Your input is much appreciated.

Well, Nadia was first to appease my concerns, so I guess she is entitled to the points. But that does not mean I am not equally grateful to everyone who was kind enough to make a contribution. Thanks again.

Try BARRON'S DICTIONARY OF BANKING TERMS; Thomas Fitch.
Noha Kamal, PhD. (asker) May 13, 2008:
You are absolutely right, guys. Thanks a bunch. I wonder which google I was searching with :))
Hassan Al-Haifi (wordforword) May 13, 2008:
Actually in the context you suggest they say utilities, however they do say facilities when referring to installations and other supporting structures or even institutions, when used in a broad context.
ayman musa May 13, 2008:
