This Guide to Municipal Finance describes the current issues in municipal finance and the ways in which local governments finance services and infrastructure.

The Guide emphasizes that responsible, accountable, and efficient local governments need to raise their own revenues as much possible, adhere to an open and visible municipal budgetary process, and engage in transparent and prudent financial management.
