MUNICIPAL SECURITIES RULEMAKING BOARD ENHANCES
MARKET STATISTICS ON EMMA WEBSITE

Alexandria, VA – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) today announced enhancements to municipal market statistics available on its Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website.  New features include the addition of a date-range functionality that enables users to view municipal trading patterns between any two available dates, and the ability to view trade activity based on coupon type.

EMMA’s market statistics allow investors to view municipal bond trading trends and better understand market activity.  EMMA provides snapshots of daily trade data based on municipal bond characteristics such as trade type, size, sector, maturity, source of repayment and now, type of coupon, including fixed-rate, variable-rate and zero coupon bonds.  The new date-range feature allows users to obtain a historical view of municipal transaction activity. 

EMMA, which stands for Electronic Municipal Market Access, is the official source for municipal market disclosures and data. All market statistics, trade data, disclosure documents and other information on EMMA are provided free of charge.  EMMA is a service of the MSRB, which seeks to increase available information and transparency in the municipal market in accordance with its investor protection mission.
