MSRB Glossary of Terms

Glossary of Municipal Securities Terms

Second Edition (January 2004)

This glossary of terms used in the municipal securities industry is a complete revision of the MSRB's 1985 glossary (known as the “purple book”), which was itself an adaptation from the Glossary of Municipal Bond Terms published by the Division of Bond Finance of the State of Florida in 1983.
