SIFMA

Panelists at SIFMA's annual meeting see the federal government making changes to grant programs and PABs for infrastructure.

Market groups and individuals asked the SEC to reject parts of an MSRB rule intended to improve transparency of dealers' private placements.

The tax reform plan does not mention munis and market participants would rather see it in writing than have assurances from the White House.

Not everyone appreciates the MSRB's disclosure warnings.

Rules implementing the Volcker Rule should exempt the traditional TOB structure, SIFMA says.

Market participants are unsure what the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board is after.

The rules would be overly burdensome, restrictive, costly, and would hamper infrastructure projects.

Replacing LIBOR will raise economic and tax issues for many floating rate munis and swaps.

Muni market participants will have more time to prepare for customer account transfer changes.

SIFMA wants the MSRB to harmonize its rule on account transfers with FINRA's regulation.
