As part of its mission to help improve understanding of the municipal market, the MSRB has made available educational resources to help investors and state and local governments understand the use of municipal market indices, yield curves and benchmarks. The MSRB’s municipal market indices, yield curves and benchmarks publication provides an overview of the types of indicators used to estimate the general level of municipal bond yields. Its introduction to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) publication discusses LIBOR's relevance for the municipal market.
