Webinar Description
Principles and Practices of Debt Management: Employing a Debt Policy
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
10:00 AM – 11:45 AM Pacific Time
A local agency’s debt management policy can assist the agency to make decisions and support efforts to identify conflicts, inconsistencies, and gaps in the agency’s approach to project finance and debt management. Policies are also instrumental in setting a proper balance between limits on the use of debt financing and providing sufficient flexibility to respond to unforeseen circumstances and opportunities. This webinar addresses the importance of establishing a debt policy and highlights best practices for developing and maintaining a debt management policy.
