A quoting convention under which interest at the quoted rate is calculated and added to the principal annually.  
The great majority of bank capital in future must be PLAC, in contrast with Secondary Loss Absorbing Capital (SLAC).


EAR is the most usual conventional quotation basis for instruments with maturities of greater than one year.

A conventional measure which expresses the returns on different instruments on a comparable basis.

*[[Principal write down]]
The EAR basis of comparison is the ''equivalent'' rate of interest paid and compounded annually, which would give the same all-in rate of return as the instrument under review.

For this reason, 'EAR' is sometimes expressed as <u>equivalent</u> annual rate.

<span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example: EAR from overnight quote'''</span>
 
GBP overnight interest is conventionally quoted on a simple interest basis for a 365-day year.
 
So GBP overnight interest quoted at R = 5.11% means:
 
(i)
 
Interest of:
 
r = R / n
 
r = 5.11% / 365
 
r = 0.014% (= 0.00014) is paid per day.
 
 
(ii)
 
The ''equivalent'' effective annual rate is calculated from (1 + r).
 
1 + r = 1 + 0.00014 = 1.00014
 
 
EAR = (1 + r)<sup>n</sup> - 1
 
EAR = 1.00014<sup>365</sup> - 1
 
EAR = '''5.2424%'''.

Primary Loss Absorbing Capital.

Used, especially in the UK, to refer to equity and bail-in-able long term debt of banks that can be written down in case of financial distress. It includes both equity and bail-in-able long-term debt.


The great majority of bank capital in future must be PLAC, in contrast with Secondary Loss Absorbing Capital (SLAC).
