MSRB Creates New Online Training Videos on Making Primary Market and Continuing Disclosure Submissions to the EMMA Website

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) has made available free online training videos to assist municipal securities dealers and issuers in making primary market and continuing disclosure submissions to the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA®) website. The MSRB’s EMMA website is the official repository for primary market documents, which include official statements and other documents that describe the terms and conditions of a new municipal bond issue.
