Economy measure required by executives? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cut
This clue could be a double definition.
'economy' is the first definition.
(both can mean a cost-saving measure)
'measure required by executives?' is the second definition.
'cut' can be an answer for 'measure' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'required by executives?' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "what hackers do" , "reduced" , "Sever - hurt - snub" , "Slash" , "Shorten; (one's) share" .)
