Event Details and Slides

Municipalities have been using debt financing as a tool to build their communities for over a century and throughout this history debt issuance has grown and changed to facilitate the provision of a variety of public benefits. Issuers and investors of municipal debt must consider market conditions, the amount and purpose of the debt, an agency’s credit, as well as many other variables. This variability coupled with so many people involved in the process, creates an environment where members of the issuance team understand their role, but may not understand the process as a whole. Join CDIAC and expert faculty during this three-day seminar on the most essential information needed to understand municipal debt in California.
