Italian term

antecedente il mese precedente

Italian to English Other Finance (general) financing
Part of a financing contract. The clause to do with interest reads:

Tale quotazione sara' rilevata per data di contrattazione a sara' relativa al secondo giorno lavorativo bancario antecedente il mese precedente l'inizio del semestre in corso alla data delle singole erogazioni;

I understand the meaning of antecedente and precendente, but I'm not convinced I've got my head round how it's working - we seem to be going backwards twice. It seems to mean the second working banking day before the month preceding the start of the six-month period underway.....

It seems to work like this: Take a payment made on 10 August. The six-month period underway at that point started 1 August 2012. The month before it started is therefore July, and the second banking day before July would be 28 June. Does anyone agree?

I got it from here "il mese precedente l'inizio del semestre in corso" = the second month" etc.
Joanna M Cas (X) (asker) Jul 11, 2012:
Where did you get 'second month' from? I can't see it. So on your basis, in my example the date would be 2 June, if that's a business day.

"will be referred to the second business day in the second month before the beginning of the current half-year"

prior the beginning

… relative to the second banking day prior the beginning of the semester in which the single payments are scheduled.

I think that you are right, that would be June 28 in your example.
