Strengthening Oversight of Public Debt

The Rhode Island Public Finance Management Board (PFMB) is a nine-member volunteer body that is chaired by Treasurer James A. Diossa.

With a goal of promoting transparency in government and improving the financial health of municipal entities and quasi-public corporations in Rhode Island, the PFMB provides debt-related information which can be used to determine the feasibility of issuing bonds. The information provided by the PFMB may also be used by investors to more easily evaluate the credit characteristics of each bond offering, and its issuing entity.
