There are many federal government and market initiatives that governments should be aware of as they plan to issue debt and continue to manage their overall debt program. This session will discuss some of the hot topics in the market, including how credit agencies view the sector, the SEC's focus on issuer disclosure matters and new standards coming forward as required in the FDTA, general capital market behavior and investor interests in the municipal bond sector, and other emerging issues. Municipal bond experts will share their thoughts on these matters, and engage with attendees on topics that are important to governments today and in the months and years ahead.
