The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board announced a multi-year plan Monday to enhance its EMMA (Electronic Municipal Market Access) munibond information website and to do a comprehensive review of all muni bond data to maximize its availability, usefulness and quality.
Among its goals for EMMA are improving the user experience for the website, which has a heavy concentration of clicks by retail investors, and advancing its capabilities for regulators.
For the strategic review, the MRSB also said it will look at the possibility of expanding funding sources.
In announcing the initiatives, MSRB Executive Director Lynnette Kelly said it is time for the regulator to shift its focus away from Dodd-Frank Act rulemaking and look toward assisting regulated entities with compliance.
