Managing the cost of financing is one of the highest priority responsibilities for agency finance professionals. Refunding is one of the most impactful financial management tools issuers can use to mitigate risk and reduce the cost of debt, or is it? The preconference sessions will explore refunding strategies, the financial justifications, the call option itself, and the circumstances when refundings may not be as efficient as issuers would like them to be. This program is intended to help issuers to understand and challenge conventions, and more fully consider the factors that can drive the success of future refunding transactions.
