In the case of a discounting transaction, the period rate is defined as the ratio between the interest and miscellaneous costs payable by the borrower in respect of the discount and the amount of the discounted bill of exchange. The period is equal to the number of calendar days, from the negotiation date excluded up to and including the actual maturity date of the bill of exchange; this period may not be selected for a duration of less than ten days.

Article R314-8


Lorsqu’il s’agit d’une opération d’escompte, le taux de période s’entend du rapport qui s’établit entre les intérêts et frais divers dus par l’emprunteur au titre de l’escompte et le montant de l’effet escompté. La période est égale au nombre de jours de calendrier, de la date de négociation exclue jusqu’à la date réelle d’échéance de l’effet incluse ; cette période ne peut être retenue pour une durée inférieure à dix jours.
