Build America Bonds may stage a comeback in Biden's infrastructure plan

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told CNBC late last week that BABs show “promise.”

“Democrats have been trying to relaunch BABs since BABs expired,” said Matt Fabian, a partner at Municipal Market Analytics, adding that Congress was likely to leverage bond-related ideas like BABs that were already discussed or included in past legislation.

Katie Kramer, vice president of the Council of Development Finance Agencies, said BABs’ reinstatement was part of a big infrastructure bill the House passed last summer and that House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal “is very fond of that particular tool.”
