What is default risk premium?
The amount of interest, that you add to a bond or other instrument, to compensate for the risk that the person or company cannot or will not pay you back. You evaluate the risk level using mathematics, statistics, or any other means you find reasonable; then define the risk premium. So if you distribute a lot of bonds, you will statistically win because of the premium. Banks work like this; and many other financial institutions.
