appreciate

v. esteem, regard highly; admire very much; be greatful; recognize with appreciation; raise the value; become more valuable; detect, detect, recognize

Appreciation is a term used in accounting relating to the increase in value of an asset. In this sense it is the reverse of depreciation, which measures the fall in value of assets over their normal life-time.Appreciation is a rise of a currency in a floating exchange rate.In times of high inflation, appreciation will be common to all balance sheet assets. Generally, the term is reserved for property or, more specifically, land and buildings. In any viable modern economy, such property tends to increase in value over the years - if only because of the scarcity of usable land forces its price in a competitive situation. However, this belief has often caused speculative bubbles to arise.
