Commercial paper is an unsecured promissory note that has a fixed maturity of no more than 270 days in the global financial market. Commercial paper is a money-market security issued by large corporations to obtain funds to meet short-term debt obligations and is backed solely by the issuing bank's or company's promise to pay the face amount on the maturity date specified. As it is not collateralized, only companies with excellent credit ratings from a reputable credit rating agency will be able to sell commercial paper at a reasonable price. 

Commercial paper is typically sold at a discount to face value and has lower interest repayment rates than bonds due to commercial paper's shorter maturities. Therefore, redemption on the fixed maturity date, easy accessibility of the fund, and the cost saved by the business is expected to boost the market growth for the commercial paper market in the near future.
