TY - JOUR T1 - Has the Financial Meltdown Killed Municipal Finance? JF - The Journal of Structured Finance SP - 75 LP - 77 DO - 10.3905/JSF.2009.14.4.075 VL - 14 IS - 4 AU - Bruce J Graham Y1 - 2009/01/31 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/14/4/75.abstract N2 - The economic chaos of the past year has understandably created turmoil in the municipal bond market, causing financings to be delayed, suspended, or abandoned completely. Issuers have imposed moratoria on bond issuances and many developers have suspended projects utilizing municipal debt. So what should municipalities and developers do? They should be patient—though not passive—and look for creative structures to leverage untapped revenue streams, for partners with which to share risks and rewards, and for innovative credit structures.TOPICS: Financial crises and financial market history, portfolio theory, portfolio construction ER -
