(DCF).  
''European Union law.''


A process of discounting cash flows that are expected in the future to make them comparable in value with cash flows received today.
Directive on Payment Services, (PSD), which sets out the legal foundation for the creation of an EU-wide single market for payments.


This process is widely used in investment appraisal, where the rate used to discount with is a measure of the appropriately risk adjusted cost of capital.
Replaced Directive 97/5 EC.


Where the sum of discounted future positive cash flows (inflows) is calculated, this is often referred to as the total ''Present value'' of those cash flows. 
Where the present value of future expected cash flows is netted against discounted investment outflows, this is referred to as the ''Net present value'' of the investment proposal.
Discounted cash flow techniques include Net Present Value (NPV) analysis and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) analysis.
