Pension Obligation Bonds: Financial Crisis Exposes Risks
New Center for Excellence Issue Brief
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Center for State and Local Government Excellence has issued a new issue brief, Pension Obligation Bonds: Financial Crisis Exposes Risks. The brief, which was written by Alicia H. Munnell, Thad Calabrese, Ashby Monk, and Jean-Pierre Aubry of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, finds that it is risky to shore up pensions with such bonds except in certain circumstances.
The brief’s key findings are:
– Some state and local governments issue Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs)
to raise cash to cover their required pension contributions.
– POBs allow governments to avoid increasing taxes in bad times and
could reduce pension costs, but they pose considerable risks.
– Those who issue POBs are often fiscally stressed and not
well-positioned to handle the investment risk.
