RBDA — THE Association for Regional Fixed Income Dealers

The Regional Bond Dealers Association is a group of U.S. middle-market, fixed-income securities dealers with common interests and shared goals and values. RBDA works passionately to promote public policies and market practices that will improve the market environment and provides a forum for its members to debate and discuss issues of common interest. The RBDA also works to inform its members of regulatory and legislative developments affecting their business operations and provide a clearinghouse for members to examine and review bond market industry issues. The RBDA provides educational opportunities for industry professionals through publications, conferences and seminars and works in cooperation with other industry organizations on issues of mutual concern in order to promote common interests.

Headlines

RBDA recommends using emergency authority to address problems with auction rate securities and variable rate demand notes.
The RBDA, together with the Education Finance Council (EFC), sent this letter to the Treasury Department in response to their request for comment on implementing provisions of the emergency financial authority enacted earlier this month. The RBDA and EFC said that Treasury should use its authority to provide liquidity facilities to VRDN issuers and ARS issuers who want to convert their securities to VRDNs.
