Premium
Bond spread (or credit spread) refers to the difference in the yield of two bonds because of the difference in their credit ratings.
The credit rating of a bond reflects the risk profile of the bond. For example, BB-rated corporate bond will be riskier compared to a Treasury security issued by the Government, which is considered risk free.
