Hospital bond issuance bounces back in 2015

Healthcare borrowers sold $18.9 billion in bonds through June of this year, a 76 percent increase over the $10.8 billion sold during the same period a year ago, and hospitals are the force behind the surge, according to an HFA Partners report.

Hospital deals made up $12.6 billion of the $18.9 million total, up 215 percent from the same period of last year, according to the report.

HFA Partners tracks hospital tax-exempt fixed rate revenue bond offerings but excludes general obligation bank placements and variable-rate issues.
