GFOA recommends that every government develop a debt policy to guide its debt issuance and management practices. This session will help governments create, evaluate, and refine the key elements of their debt management policies and practices.

Speakers will focus on developing a debt policy for planning debt issuance (primarily for capital projects), understanding the right debt products for your needs, selecting key professionals to assist with issuance (such as municipal advisors, bond counsel, and underwriters), choosing issuance methods and bond structures, and meeting federal tax and disclosure requirements.

Attend this session to learn how these essential elements interact with market practices and discover ways to incorporate GFOA’s Best Practices into your debt management program.
