A bond covenant that requires the issuer to take certain actions. For example, a positive covenant may require an issuer to maintain enough liquid assets to cover the principal of the bond.

It contrasts with a negative covenant, which prevents the issuer from taking the enumerated actions. It is also called an affirmative covenant.
