Insuranceopedia Explains Municipal Bond Insurance

Municipal projects can cost exorbitant amounts of money. The construction of a single high school, for example, can costs tens of millions of dollars. Because such large amounts of money are involved in municipal projects, municipal bond insurance is crucial for hedging against the risk of default and it associated losses.
