Michigan tax-exempt bond benchmark rates
Authored by: Andy Campbell, CPA, Manager
Michigan municipal bond interest rates continue to hover around historical lows. Below is a table that details various tax-exempt interest rate options and history. The 11-Bond and 20-Bond indexes are national indexes. The USDA and State Revolving Fund interest rates apply to Michigan bond issues.
(1) General Obligation (GO) bonds maturing in 20 years are used in compiling these indexes. The 11-Bond GO Index has an average equivalent to Moody’s Aa1 and S&P’s AA+, while the 20-Bond GO Index is equivalent to Moody’s Aa2 and S&P’s AA.
