Expansion Slot

Alternatively referred to as a bus slot or expansion port, an expansion slot is an opening located inside a computer on the motherboard or riser board that allows additional boards to be connected to it. For example, if you wanted to install a new video card in the computer you'd purchase a video expansion card and install that card into the compatible expansion slot.

Expected Spread

Expected spread in banking refers to the anticipated difference between the interest rate a bank earns on loans and the rate it pays on deposits. This metric is crucial for assessing a bank's profitability, as it directly impacts the net interest income. A wider expected spread indicates higher potential earnings, but also reflects the risk associated with the bank's lending activities.

The expected spread is influenced by various factors, including monetary policy, market competition, and the creditworthiness of borrowers. Banks meticulously analyze this spread to strategize their lending and deposit rates, aiming to maximize profits while maintaining a competitive edge. Understanding the expected spread is essential for investors and regulators alike, as it provides insights into the bank's financial health and operational efficiency.
