Washington bonds continue to be in demand with investors. Top rating agencies referenced Washington’s strong economic fundamentals, strong governance practices, and sound reserves as key factors in the state’s strong credit ratings.
Bolstered by the State’s outstanding credit ratings, the Office of the State Treasurer sold more than $1.3 billion in bonds to finance a broad range of capital and transportation projects, while refinancing previously issued debt to save $37.3 million in future debt costs.
The $42 million sale of Certificates of Participation (COPs) provides an affordable option to local municipalities and state agencies
The Office of the State Treasurer (OST) today sold bonds to refinance $1,222,545,000 of previously issued bonds to save the state roughly $18.8 million in present value debt service costs.
Nearly $37 million in financing was made available for projects across Washington with the help of the Office of the State Treasurer (OST) this week. Thanks to the sale of a series of Certificates of Participation (COPs), local fire protection districts, state agencies and one public college will be able to purchase fleet vehicles, fire and medical emergency response vehicles, and other critical purchases at favorable interest rates.
