## Definition

In general, the expenses incurred by a business entity to raise debt capital; measured primarily in terms of interest rates. - On commodity exchanges, the expenses incurred in holding a product, primarily storage costs and insurance fees. The level of financing costs is therefore also reflected in the price difference between different futures contract months. - See financialization, profit taxation, demurrage, commodity certification. - Cf. ECB Monthly Bulletin, April 2008, pp. 69 f. (Financing costs and investment activity; overviews).
