How long does GFOA recommend governments wait before indicating on EMMA that they will provide information?

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that governments wait 150 days before indicating on the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) platform that they will provide information. This recommendation aligns with best practices for transparency and timely reporting in municipal finance. The 150-day period allows for an adequate timeframe for governments to prepare and assess their financial data after the end of the fiscal year, ensuring that the information provided to investors and the public is accurate and comprehensive. By adhering to this timeline, governments can enhance accountability and maintain trust with stakeholders in the public finance realm.

While other options present different timeframes, none align with GFOA's specific guidance, highlighting the importance of maintaining a standardized approach for clarity and reliability in the municipal market.
