As geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty reshape financial markets, municipal credit faces a rapidly evolving set of risks and opportunities. This panel will explore how shifting sovereign dynamics, cross-border exposure, and fiscal policy challenges are influencing credit quality across the public sector. From the interplay between federal credit conditions and local borrowing, to the growing impact of international linkages on institutional stability, the discussion will examine how global forces are filtering down to municipal issuers. Panelists will also consider the role of fiscal oversight, policy responses, and market resilience in navigating an increasingly complex and interconnected environment.

Join us for a timely conversation on the future of municipal credit in an age of uncertainty.
