In trade, the opposite of trade deficit is trade surplus. In other words, the negative deficit is called surplus.
And then, what is the term for negative debt?
Say for example Bank A owes 5 million dollars to Bank B.
And then Bank A has a debt of 5 million dollars.
And bank B has a negative debt of 5 million dollars.
I have the same question about negative liabilities, I'm not sure if I have to ask a separate question for that.

If a company's initial capital is $1,000 and it makes a loss of $100 a year for 5 years then its equity has reduced to $500. But there is no debt here, just a poor return to investors.
