margenes / margen

En general se traduce como margen o márgenes. Es preferible ponerlo en plural. A veces se pude utilizar la expresión "espacio" o "espacio para"

En tus frases podría utilizarse así:
"Some people are suggesting that financial institutions build more slack into their balance sheets in good times, so that they have a reserve for the bad times."
...mas margenes...

"You should also think about slack in the P&L, which is where your financial policies affect performance."
...márgenes...

"Operating managers have always built slack into their budgets, and they always will."
...creado márgenes...

No tiene nada que ver con endeudamiento. Slack es una expresión más genérica, respecto a "holgura" o "tener espacio adicional" como para hacer ajustes o acomodamientos en presupuestos, contabilidades, etc, si hace falta o se desea. No implica ningún concepto técnico específico contable ni financiero.

Un ejemplo:
If calculations are correct there is considerably less slack in the agriculture budget.

Si los cálculos no son erróneos, ahora el margen en el presupuesto agrícola es bastante menor.
