Swap and exchange transaction (swap)

A financial derivative in which an exchange of risks on financial markets between two or more parties is agreed for a certain period of time (an exchange of financial assets or flows between two or more entities during a certain period of time. Unlike financial assets, swap contracts are traded over the counter, with no impact on the balance sheet. By this they allow the parties to modify the exchange or interest rate terms, or both simultaneously, on current or future assets or liabilities). – See derivatives, forward exchange, LIBOR spread, option, sleepy warrant, forward contracts, swaption, interest rate swap. – Cf. Deutsche Bundesbank Monthly Report, July 2006, pp. 56 ff.
