egyenértéken

egyenértéken is a Hungarian word that translates to "at par" or "on an equal footing" in English. It is commonly used in financial contexts to describe a situation where a bond or other debt instrument is trading at its face value or par value. When a security is at par, its market price is equal to its stated principal amount. This means that an investor buying or selling the security at this price is neither gaining nor losing the difference between the market price and the face value.

Beyond finance, egyenértéken can also refer to any situation where two or more entities are considered to have the same value, rights, or status. It implies a sense of equivalence or fairness in a comparison. For instance, in a negotiation, parties might strive to reach an agreement where they feel they are treated egyenértéken. The concept emphasizes a balanced and equitable standing between the involved parties or items being compared, highlighting a lack of advantage or disadvantage for any one element.
