| 单词 | indexation |
| 释义 | indexation indexation1. The policy of connecting such economic variables as wages, taxes, social-security payments, annuities, or pensions to rises in the general price level. This policy is often advocated by economists in the belief that it mitigates the effects of inflation. In practice, complete indexation is rarely possible, so that inflation usually leaves somebody worse off (e.g. lenders, savers) and somebody better off (borrowers). SeeRetail Price Index. indexed security1. A security that has its coupon payment or redemption value adjusted for inflation. index futures A financial futures contract on a financial index. On the FTSE 100 Index (seeFTSE Indexes) the trading unit is £10 per index point; thus if a futures contract is purchased when the index stands at 2,400, say, the buyer is covering an equivalent purchase of equities of £24,000. If the index rises 100 points the purchaser can sell a matching futures contract at this level, making a profit of £1,000. See alsoportfolio insurance. |
