Névértékén

Névértékén is a Hungarian term that translates to "at its nominal value" or "at face value." It is primarily used in financial and economic contexts.

In finance, "névértékén" refers to the stated value of a security, such as a bond or stock, as indicated on the certificate or in the issuing documentation. For bonds, this is the principal amount that will be repaid to the bondholder at maturity. For stocks, it represents the arbitrary par value assigned to the shares, which is often a very small amount and has little relation to the market price or actual worth of the company. When a bond is issued or traded "névértékén," it means the transaction is occurring at this predetermined principal amount, without any premium or discount.

In a broader economic sense, "névértékén" can also refer to the nominal value of currency or assets, as opposed to their real value, which is adjusted for inflation. For example, if a salary increases by 5% in nominal terms, but inflation is also 5%, the salary has not increased in real terms. Therefore, receiving an amount "névértékén" implies that no adjustments for inflation, market fluctuations, or other factors affecting true worth have been made. It signifies a transaction or valuation based purely on the stated or imprinted value.
