agio

What Does Agio Mean?
A description of the bond premium when the bond market value is greater than the par value. In international markets, agio can also sometimes refer to the fee paid for undertaking a transaction. Because these bonds are often traded on international markets, the agio premium is also used to describe the premium to exchange currencies.
Investopedia explains Agio
As an example, if a bond was issued at 105%, then its agio would be 5%. Agio is typically an uncommon term for spread, and is not commonly used in Canada or the U.S.

(can be translated as) goodwill

I have just had this term in a balance sheet and have discussed it with the client, who is a chartered accountant. I used "premium" but he changed it to "goodwill" after discussing it with me, as he felt that this was what was meant in the context (on both sides of the balance sheet, including a "reserve" for goodwill. I hope this may be of some help.
