In finance, the term accretion refers to a positive change in value following a transaction; it is applied in several contexts. When trading in bonds, accretion is the capital gain expected when a bond is bought at a discount to its par value, given that it is expected to mature at par. Accretion can be thought of as the antonym of amortization: see here also, Accreting swap vs Amortising swap.
