Construction Period Interest

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Construction Period Interest

Construction Period Interest refers to the interest cost incurred on funds borrowed to finance the construction of a long-term asset during its construction period. This interest is capitalized, meaning it is added to the cost of the asset rather than expensed immediately. The capitalization of construction period interest aligns with the matching principle, ensuring that costs are recognized in the same period as the benefits they generate.
