Risk free rate
The risk-free rate is the theoretical return on an investment with zero risk of financial loss.
A risk-free rate represents the interest an investor would expect from an absolutely risk-free investment over a specified period. Typically, the risk-free rate is based on the yield of long-term government bonds (such as 10-year bonds) from a country with a high credit rating (AAA-rated).
In the Planon RE Assets application, the risk-free rate is needed to calculate the discount rate % which is input for the net present value (NPV) calculation.
You can specify risk-free rates per country in Application settings.
