| The Pension Mess: Everyone’s talking about pensions and OPEB, but nobody’s doing anything about it – or are they? The numbers are staggering and have caught the attention of the news media and in some cases, the issue is being taken to the streets. How do analysts cut through all the vitriol and incorporate the information into credit analysis? How does all this information affect a decision to rate, insure, buy, sell or just hold tight? |

| Out of control derivatives, rising debt and shrinking revenues, loss of market access and concerns about default. Sound familiar? “For the better part of the past four months, Greece has been the center of the European maelstrom. It tried concealing the full magnitude of its deficits and debt for years. The proverbial chickens came home to roost when George Papandreou led the Socialists to electoral victory and when he went into the Treasury and found the cupboards were worse than bare.” So writes Marc Chandler in “Germany: The Unnamed Co-Conspirator,” a recent BBH research report. This educational luncheon will explain what happened in Greece and help us answer the question “Can what happened in Greece stay in Greece?” |

| Statehouse Blues! The news rolling out of the nation’s State Capitols is alarming. Revenues evaporating, cash running out, expensive promises coming due, legislatures deadlocked. This budget season is unusually cold. This month MAGNY will ask the experts: How do the States stack up? Who will pay the price -- Taxpayers? Employees? Services? Local Governments? Bondholders? The Feds? Find out answers to these questions, ask your own. |

A recent report by a panel of transportation experts says: “The American Transportation Network of highways, transit, rail, and ports is poised on the threshold of a period of innovation unprecedented in our history. The benefits from forward-looking investment will be the underpinnings of a thriving national economy, maintaining America as the international leader in technology and wealth creation, with benefits flowing to all citizens.” This month, MAGNY will have a chance to ask two distinguished experts how and who’s going to pay for it. |
