Year-on-year inflation-indexed swap

A year-on-year inflation-indexed swap (YYIIS) is a standard derivative product over inflation rate. The underlying is a single consumer price index (CPI).

It is called a swap because each year there is a swap of a fixed amount against a floating amount, although in practice only a one way payment is made (fixed amount – floating amount).

where:

  • K is the contract fixed rate
  • N the contract nominal value
  • M the number of years corresponding to the deal maturity
  • i the number of years (0 < i <= M)
  •   is the fixed-leg year fractions for the interval [Ti−1, Ti]
  •   is the floating-leg year fractions for the interval [Ti−1, Ti]
  •   is the start date
  •   is the time of the flow i
  •   is the maturity date (end of the swap)
  •   is the inflation at start date (time  )
  •   is the inflation at time of the flow i (time  )
