Azero-coupon inflation swap (ZCIS), also called azero-coupon inflation-indexed swap (ZCIIS), is a standardderivative product whose payoff depends on theinflation rate realized over a given period of time. Theunderlying asset is a singleconsumer price index (CPI).
It is zero-coupon because there is only one cash flow at the maturity of the swap, without any intermediate coupon. It is called aswap because atmaturity, one counterparty pays a fixed amount to the other in exchange for a floating amount (in this case linked to inflation). The final cash flow will therefore consist of the difference between the fixed amount and the value of the floating amount at expiry of the swap.
