Abstract: This article explores up-to-date changes and expectations for the interest rate curve and tax law. With analytical eyes on post-presidential election volatility, a distinguished panel discusses how policy changes are likely to affect the primary and secondary markets, valuations, liquidity, and buyers of municipal bonds. How might the lowering of the corporate or personal tax rates affect the different buyers of municipal bonds? How might a rise in the prevailing interest rate expose certain municipal bonds to the de minimis tax rule? What is the latest news on a potential change to the treatment of tax-exempt income?
