G-Spread
The G-spread (government spread) is the difference in yields, in basis points, between a non-government bond and a government bond of the same maturity. It measures credit risk relative to government securities while holding maturity constant.
Example: A corporate bond yields 5.75% and the 7-year U.S. Treasury yield is 2.15%. The G-spread is 360 basis points.
