As short-term reinvestment rates have risen since 2021, issuers of tax-exempt bonds are experiencing positive arbitrage at levels not seen in over a decade. Managing compliance remains complex, especially as the potential for positive arbitrage persists, and presents both opportunities and challenges for issuers of tax-exempt bonds.

This session is designed to educate and reorient finance professionals, particularly those navigating arbitrage rebate compliance for the first time. Our panel, featuring an issuer, a tax attorney, and an arbitrage rebate compliance specialist, will explore the rules and regulations surrounding arbitrage rebate and yield restriction. Panelists will use real-world examples and case studies to highlight effective strategies for maximizing retainable earnings while planning for an environment where reinvestment rates may stabilize or decrease.
