This year’s State & Municipal Conference will examine whether the $3.7 trillion U.S. municipal-bond market is undergoing a restructuring and a revival. Bond yields are achieving their longest period of gains since 2009, but issuance is down. While interest rates remain low, issuers are not taking advantage. 

The Bloomberg State & Municipal Finance conference will convene public sector policy makers, labor leaders, pension fund managers, institutional investors and issuers for a program examining issues central to state and municipal finance and providing investors with information needed to evaluate opportunities in the municipal bond market.
