English term or phrase: discount rate

This follows a year of practically zero year-on-year earnings per share (EPS) growth alongside gains of nearly 30% in equity indices. This seemingly contradictory outcome was driven primarily by rising price-earnings multiples as recession and trade war fears waned, coupled with a declining ***discount rate*** as government bond yields fell.
