Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Economics

Incentives for obtaining greater environmental protection now are being incorporated into rulemaking.

An important feature of the [Montreal] Protocol [on Ozone Depletion] is its treatment of developing countries. It permits these countries a ten year grace period in which to comply with the control measures in order to meet their basic domestic needs.

OBS

  • Titles of National Programs (Non-Canadian)
  • Loans
  • Education
OBS

Luckily, the Federal government realizes the needs for graduate level study, that's why it suggests the Stafford Loans program in order to supply a diversity of graduate student loans. You should complete a free application for student assistance(FAFSA loan) and then make a decision which loan path to follow. Stafford graduate student loans are managed by the graduate schools to which you are appealing, but they are given by the government. One of the greatest benefits of Stafford graduate student loan is the fact that you will be permitted a half-year grace period that follows your graduation before you should begin your payments. If the government chooses your application, they supply you with a list of their accepted creditors. Only students who have not neglected on other loans are eligible for this kind of loan. If your income is too low, you may pretend to your graduate student loans financed by the government. It means that when you are entered in graduate school, you will not be accountable for the interest on your lend. If your income level is high enough, the interest on your loans will be joined to the principal which you should to pay off.

Record 7 2003-05-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Loans
  • Economic Co-operation and Development
  • Banking
DEF

In credit transactions, a period during which a borrower [or a buyer] need not repay principal and, sometimes, interest.

CONT

(Depending on the lending conditions, the borrower may or may not be required to pay interest, which may be capitalized during the grace period.) The grace period begins at the time the loan is extended and continues for a year(or other accounting period) or more. Thus, a four-year grace period for a loan received at the end of project year 1 would mean that the grace period would be project years 2 through 5, and the first repayment of principal would be due at the end of project year 6.

OBS

Compare with "days of grace".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prêts et emprunts
  • Coopération et développement économiques
  • Banque
DEF

Dans les opérations à crédit, période pendant laquelle l'emprunteur (ou l'acheteur) n'est pas tenu de rembourser le capital ou de payer des intérêts.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Préstamos
  • Cooperación y desarrollo económicos
  • Operaciones bancarias
DEF

En las transacciones crediticias, período durante el cual el prestatario no necesita reembolsar el principal y, en ocasiones, tampoco el interés.

OBS

(Según sean las condiciones de financiamiento puede exigirse o no al prestatario que pague intereses, los que se pueden capitalizar durante el período de gracia.) Ese período comienza en el momento en que se otorga el préstamo y continúa por espacio de un año (u otro período contable) o más. Así, un período de gracia de cuatro años con respecto a un préstamo recibido al final del año 1 del proyecto significaría que el período de gracia abarcaría los años 2 a 5 inclusive del proyecto, y el primer reembolso del principal debería hacerse al final del año 6 del proyecto.
