I am translating an article on economy. The context: "Information technology (7.2% versus 8.4%) – Although still underweight our benchmark, the 199bp we added to the technology sector was our most significant move during Q3 2009". What does bp stand for? Thanks

I'm pretty sure they mean Basis Point here, which is usually abbreviated BPS in English.
Suerte.

Sorry, I thought I had included this in my original answer - I was wondering why everyone was bringing it up in the comments!
The abbreviation "pb" stands for "puntos básicos"
I think I may have confused things with the link to "punto base"...
As I mentioned below, I would enter it as "pb (puntos básicos)" the first time, and just "pb" thereafter.
Could have sworn I typed that originally! Oh well.
Suerte.

On the contrary, I just learned that there are different levels of access. As long as I am learning, I can't complain ;-)
The question is about Economics... And?
And isn't the article on Economics?
