A counter-indemnity is an obligation to make a reimbursement in relation to a primary indemnity, guarantee, bond or any similar arrangment.


A number greater than one which we multiply a present value by, to work out its [[Future Value]] (FV) as:


FV = CF x present value.
For example, we may be a corporate supplier in a commercial contract.


As part of the contractual arrangements, our bank may issue a performance bond to our customer.


The Compounding Factor is calculated from the periodic yield as:
This gives rise to a contingent liability for our bank.


CF = (1 + periodic yield)<sup>n</sup>

A counter-indemnity is an obligation to make a reimbursement in relation to a primary indemnity, guarantee, bond or any similar arrangment.


For example, we may be a corporate supplier in a commercial contract.

As part of the contractual arrangements, our bank may issue a performance bond to our customer.

This gives rise to a contingent liability for our bank.

The bank will require a counter-indemnity from ourselves, in favour of the bank.

If the performance bond is called, we must indemnify the bank under the counter-indemnity.
