The informal, shortened version of perquisite which is a benefit arising as a result of employment in addition to regular remuneration.
 
In relation to the Eurozone, the 'periphery' is a collective name for the five countries in the Eurozone with relatively weaker economies:
 
Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain.
 
 
These five countries are sometimes known as 'PIIGS', from the initial letters of their names, or 'SWEAP' (South and West Euro Area Periphery).
