Municipal bonds have struggled so far in 2025 as increased issuance and elevated volatility have weighed on prices. However, with risks to the current economic expansion rising, the case for munis has only grown more compelling. But, the sector is not without its challenges. Federal spending cuts, tariffs, and restrictive immigration policies could disrupt activity across municipalities, although these impacts will be felt differently across sectors and regions. On this episode of Insights Now, Gabriela Santos is joined by Neene Jenkins, Head of Municipal Credit Research, to discuss Neene’s outlook for the sector.
