As three-quarters of the infrastructure built in the U.S. is funded by state and local governments and the municipal bond market they tap to finance it, there are long-term headwinds challenging its future, including macroeconomic issues, the rise in the work-from-home environment and climate change.
Join The Bond Buyer’s executive editor, Kyle Glazier, and Arizent’s senior industry analyst, Michael Moeser, for an exclusive VIP member discussion on how cities and towns are being affected by policy decisions in a national infrastructure plan, climate change and the biggest challenges facing the industry in 2023 and over the next five years.
Gain perspective on these key questions:
- How many leaders in the municipal bond industry, including issuers and ratings agencies, believe that state and local government tax revenues will be negatively affected by the macroeconomic recession concerns overhanging the U.S. economy, which could impact the ability of cities and states to pursue infrastructure investments?
- What impact do leaders believe the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) will have on the public finance landscape? And, how will it affect the growth of public-private partnerships in public finance over the next five years?
- What role does climate change play in project planning and decision making when it comes to infrastructure going forward?
- What are the top challenges leaders see facing governments and businesses in 2023?
