Kibocsát

Kibocsát is a Hungarian verb meaning to release, emit, or issue. In everyday language it denotes the act of sending out or making available something from a source, such as smoke, a sound, a statement, or a publication. The sense of the word varies with context: it can refer to releasing or publishing information, emitting physical substances, or issuing a product or financial instrument.

In economics and finance, kibocsátás refers to the act of issuing securities or currency. A company may issue new shares or bonds, and a central bank may issue banknotes. The issuer is called the kibocsátó. Common related terms include kibocsátási ár (issue price) and kibocsátási kör (issuance round). The concept is central to capital markets, monetary policy, and corporate finance.

In environmental and regulatory contexts, kibocsátás denotes emissions of pollutants or greenhouse gases. Emissions are usually reported by amount (for example, tonnes of CO2-equivalent) over a given period. Governments regulate and monitor emissions through permits, quotas, taxes, and reporting requirements. Examples include reducing kibocsátás or adhering to emission limits.

Linguistically, kibocsát is a transitive verb formed with the prefix ki- added to bocsát (to release, to send). It commonly pairs with direct objects such as közleményt, levelet, árut, vagy kötvényt. The noun form kibocsátás is widely used across the same domains to describe the act of releasing, emitting, or issuing.
