nimellishintaan

Nimellishintaan is a Finnish term that translates to "nominal price" or "face value" in English. It refers to the stated or recorded price of an asset, good, or service, without taking into account any adjustments for inflation, discounts, or other factors that might affect its actual market value. In financial contexts, the nominal price is often the price at which a security was originally issued or is quoted on an exchange. For example, a bond might have a nominal value of €100, meaning it will be repaid at €100 at maturity, regardless of how interest rates or inflation have changed in the interim. Similarly, when discussing historical prices, the nominal price is the price that was paid at that time, not adjusted for the changing purchasing power of money. The distinction between nominal and real price is important for understanding economic trends and the true value of transactions over time. Real prices adjust for inflation, providing a more accurate comparison of value across different periods.
