Spanish term

pp.bb.

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
I'm translating a banking text about customers' price sensitivity to fees, and numbers followed by pp.bb. keep appearing and I can't work out what this would be in English or what it stands for. I've found 'business interruptions' as a possibility but am doubtful that this is correct.

Examples:
2 variables adicionales introducidas que permitieron mejorar el margen en +13 pp.bb.
Mejora del MOAR en 85 pp.bb. en el piloto frente al histórico
Proposed translations (English)
