SIFMA Statement On Infrastructure Financing

Date 22/05/2019

 SIFMA today issued the following statement from President and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. on infrastructure financing:

“The challenges of our nation’s extraordinary infrastructure deficit are so complex that a single solution is not enough.  Among other initiatives, SIFMA strongly believes restoring advance refunding is an essential component of funding infrastructure investment.  By allowing state and local governments to reduce their debt service expenses and free up their borrowing capacity for new investments in infrastructure, this financial management tool offers a meaningful way to boost investment in and maintenance of critical public projects. The U.S. is continuing the troubling trend of underinvestment in this area and risks substantially adding to the financial burdens of state and local governments unless bi-partisan solutions are reached.  We appreciate the commitment by the Administration and the Congress to infrastructure investment which will help spur job creation and economic growth.”

Sunsets, Russets, And Rule Resets, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, CARE Conference, Leesburg, Virginia, May 17, 2019

Date 22/05/2019

Thank you, Peter [Easton] for that kind introduction. I appreciate the chance to be with you at today’s conference to discuss Hot Topics at the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is a small population of people who would describe anything the SEC does as hot, but I suspect there are more than a few in this room who might be a part of that unusual crowd. Given that we share an interest in these issues, I hope that we can keep the conversation as interactive as possible, but I will start with a few observations about SEC rulemaking and the SEC’s agenda. Before I begin, I must give the standard disclaimer that the views that I represent are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the Securities and Exchange Commission or my fellow Commissioners.
