Commercial paper
Commercial paper is a corporate short-term, unsecured promissory note issued on a discount to yield basis.
Commercial paper maturities generally do not exceed 270 days. Commercial paper represents a cheap and flexible source of funds While CPs are negotiable, secondary markets tend to be not very active since most investors hold the paper to maturity.
The emergence of the Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) is much more recent. It evolved as a natural culmination of the Note Issuance Facility and developed rapidly in an environment of securitisation and disintermediation of traditional banking.
CP has also developed in the domestic segments of some European countries offering attractive funding opportunities to resident entities.
Euro CDs
A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a negotiable instrument evidencing a deposit with a bank. A CD is a marketable instrument so that the investor can dispose it off in the secondary market whenever cash is needed.
The final holder is paid the face value on maturity along with the interest. It is used by the commercial banks as short- term funding instruments.
Euro CDs are mainly issued in London by banks. Interest on CDs with maturity more than a year is paid annually than semi-annually.
