The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) launched a new online toolkit on November 7th. With videos and whitepapers on facts and tips for the municipal bond market, MSRB’s toolkit provides helpful information to state and local governments about issuing bonds.
Per MSRB, so far in 2011, state and local governments have issued $228 billion in municipal securities to finance capital projects. More information on the MSRB toolkit can be found by visiting: http://www.msrb.org/MSRB-For/Issuers/Issuer-Toolkit.aspx.
