Information and Tools: Expand timely, relevant, useable, secure and reliable information and tools that promote a fair, efficient and transparent market. Maximize MSRB data to develop policy and rules, support enforcement and promote market efficiency.
-
Collaboration with Enforcement Agencies: Partner with, and provide expertise to, those agencies responsible for enforcing MSRB rules or otherwise charged with protecting municipal market participants.
-
Outreach and Education: Engage municipal market participants, regulators and policy makers to build understanding of the municipal market and to promote practices and policies that protect investors, municipal entities and the public interest.
-
Market Leadership: Facilitate discussion and problem-solving among market stakeholders that address challenges in the municipal securities market, advocate solutions and influence best market practices.
-
Operational Excellence: Evolve staffing and internal policies, procedures and practices that ensure effective and efficient operations and the availability and sufficiency of resources to support the achievement of strategic objectives and the MSRB’s mission.
