Municipal bond

Debt of a city or district, serviced out of the local budget.

How to read the number

Ability to pay is decided not by profit but by budget structure: the share of own revenues against transfers received from above.

When the metric lies

Placement sizes are small and liquidity matches. Selling a position quickly works only at a concession in price.

Also known as: muni bond, city bond
