| The MSRB strategic plan for fiscal years 2026-2030 outlines MSRB’s priorities and emphasizes the importance of continued stakeholder engagement as it serves its congressional mandate to protect investors, issuers and the public interest in a fair and efficient municipal securities market. |
Letter from MSRB CEO Mark Kim
Dear Stakeholders,
I am pleased to share the strategic plan of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) for Fiscal Years 2026–2030.
The municipal securities market touches the lives of all Americans. This $4 trillion capital market serves a vital role in financing public infrastructure projects that support a thriving and resilient nation. Municipal bonds catalyze investment in public goods that make life better today and for future generations. It is a uniquely American public financing model that continues to be the envy of the world.
This strategic plan outlines the three goals of regulatory modernization, market transparency, and public accountability that will guide our priorities over the coming years:
- REGULATORY MODERNIZATION: Protect investors, issuers and the public interest in a fair and efficient municipal securities market.
- MARKET TRANSPARENCY: Deliver a modernized Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA®) website, which provides the public with free access to the official information repository for municipal securities data and documents.
- PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY: Ensure accountability to MSRB’s congressional mandate through stakeholder engagement, education and outreach, corporate governance and fiscal stewardship.
While these will be our priorities over the next five years, I cannot emphasize enough that the most important part of this strategic plan will be the ongoing engagement that will happen around these goals in the years ahead. After all, this plan was shaped by the many conversations that we’ve had with stakeholders from across the market—helping to guide and inform our priorities.
MSRB’s highest priority will always be to fulfill our congressional mandate and carry out our statutory duties; however, we will not do this alone. I welcome all market participants to continue engaging with us as we pursue our shared vision to give America the confidence to invest in its communities.
Sincerely, 
Mark T. Kim |
