In the primary market, The Regents of the University of California brought USD 2.6bn of AA-rated general revenue bonds via joint senior managers JPMorgan and Wells Fargo Securities. The deal included USD 790m of tax-exempt 2020 Series BE bonds. Debtwire Municipals' Kathie O'Donnell breaks down the deal for us. On 30 June, the FOMB released the commonwealth’s final budget for FY21 (ends 30 June 2021). Because both FOMB and the commonwealth lack recent audited or unaudited financial statements that serve as a baseline in compiling a budget, the document is of dubious value to investors and other parties. Debtwire Municipals' Head of Research Greg Clark gives us his take on the fiscal plans. Yong Lim, the Debtwire Municipals desk editor, is the moderator of the podcast. The Muni Lowdown is a weekly podcast recapping the previous week's significant news developments in the municipal bond market. For comments or questions contact paul.greaves@acuris.com
