Credit Default Swap (CDS)
•
A credit default swap is a bilateral financial contract in which one
counterparty (the credit protection party) makes periodic payments to
another party in return for a promise of payment contingent on some agreed
upon third party reference credit(s) defaulting in respect of some stated
observable credit event.
•
Default is the non-performance of an agreed obligation.
For example, the non-payment of interest or principal under a swap
agreement by one of the parties to the swap would be regarded as default.
