Thursday: Tune in for Pricing Private Activity Bonds in Complex Capital Stacks
During this Thursday's installment of the CDFA-PFM Capital Markets Webinar Series, we will share innovative thinking on how issuers can structure their fees, evaluating the volume and the types of bonds most often used in larger projects, and look at how high-performing development finance agencies assist in financing projects at all levels.

A Technology Solution For Muni Bond Disclosure
This article discusses how, just as the then-new technologies of a decade ago transformed disclosure in the municipal bond market, today's current technologies and data sciences portend further transformations. And, just as before, there are those that embrace them—and those that oppose them.
Coronavirus Rating Action Tracker for Structured Finance and Covered Bonds

WIFIA: Examining Synergies with the Muni Bond Market
In theory, a WIFIA loan should always be a cheaper alternative than the market equivalent, right? In practice, things are not so straightforward. Instead of simple pro-rata substitution based on lowest rates, muni bonds and a WIFIA loan can be combined synergistically in ways that will further reduce cost and may expand structural options.

The latest municipal finance headlines from The Bond Buyer.
Healthcare, Taxable Deals Push Muni New-Issue Slate up to $16.4B
The new-issue calendar is stuffed with all types of healthcare deals and taxable offerings, inflating its size up to almost $16.5 billion, once again the largest supply slate of 2020. Healthcare deals and taxable sales feature prominently on the list of new deals, but offerings from the states of California, Hawaii, Illinois as well as tobacco bonds round out the slate along with some big competitive issues.
SEC Enforcement Approach May Hinge on Election Results
The next appointed SEC is likely to be more polarizing, and the SEC's approach to enforcement will differ depending on who wins the presidential election. Current SEC Chair Jay Clayton, widely considered a centrist and who is reportedly not interested in continuing in the role, will likely not be reappointed as both President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are likely to pick chairs more aligned with their political parties.
Trump Walks Away From States, Local Governments, Transit Agencies, Airports
The growing crisis of revenue shortfalls among states, local governments, transit agencies, and airports appears nearly certain to continue after President Trump called a halt to stimulus negotiations Tuesday. Trump promised passage of a stimulus package after his presumed re-election, but later in the evening offered to sign separate pieces of the larger package that the White House walked away from.
