bear [bare] minimum

Urdu
Hi,

I have just read the following sentence written somewhere. Is "bear minimum" in this sentence making any sense to you guys? Why he has used bear minimum in this sentence?

Our company aims to keep administrative expenses to bear minimum level.

Thanks in advance for helping me out!
It is a spelling error for BARE I imagine. Bare in that case, teamed with minimum, means the smallest amount.
Hello, this is my first post! I was intrigued by the etymology of the phrase, as to wether or not its folk lore alluded to a hibernating "bear" going to its "minimum" state, or "bare" ( as in scantest or Spartan) "minimum".
