Tennessee re-finances it's debt
The State of Tennessee completed the sale of approximately $384 million of general obligation bonds on Wednesday, at some of the lowest interest rates in Tennessee history. Tennessee’s excellent credit stimulated heavy interest from investors, according to Comptroller Justin Wilson. . Tennessee has one of the lowest debt levels of any state, with a strong history of balanced budgeting. The debt offering of nearly $367 million was sold with an interest cost of 2.63 percent. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to fund new capital projects and refinance currently outstanding bonds. The refinancing will save Tennessee taxpayers $8.9 million, over a 13-year period.
