Bond pricing is the method used to determine the theoretical fair value of a bond. It involves calculating the present value of a bond's expected future interest payments (coupons) and its face value (the amount repaid at maturity). Essentially, bond pricing helps investors and market participants understand what a bond is worth and what rate of return they can expect. This process is fundamental to the functioning of global financial markets, enabling governments and corporations to raise capital for various projects and operations by issuing debt.
