uvažovat s

English translation: assume, expect

Czech term or phrase: uvažovat s
Nemůžeme ... **uvažovat s** poklesem externích úrokových sazeb výrazněji pod úroveň konkurence, jak s tím bylo v původním plánu uvažováno.

What does 'uvažovat s' mean - or more specifically, what does it mean here? I'm not sure it's always used in the same sense.

Thank you Michal, and thanks to everyone who commented. In the same sentence (just a few words before the bit I quoted), there's the verb 'počítat s', for which I used 'count on', so it's good to have this alternative option for 'uvažovat s'.

Asker: Thanks for additional confirmation of the general idea. 'calculate on' ('include as an essential element in one's plans') is perhaps stronger than 'count on'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. Does it mean the same as 'počítat s'?

Asker: The way I understand it now is: '... assume that external interest rates will drop more sharply below the level of the competition ...'.

agree  Cynthia Plac (X): I definitely agree, we do not "expect" a plan, we "consider" it

neutral  Zuzka Benesova: It's not the plan that the verb "uvažovat" (used incorrectly) relates to, it's the interest rates drop.
