Buy American Act compliance

Buy American Act compliance is an active pressure point for financial and capital markets firms that touch federally funded infrastructure programs, government-backed securities, or public finance transactions. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have both issued guidance touching domestic content requirements and disclosure obligations in contexts where federal procurement rules intersect with capital formation. Firms with municipal bond desks, infrastructure lending portfolios, or government contracting exposure are mapping their counterparty relationships now, not at year-end.
