Self-supporting debt Self-supporting debtBonds sold to finance a project that will produce enough revenue through tolls or other charges to retire the debt . See: revenue bond.Self-Supporting DebtA bond, especially a municipal bond, where the coupons and principal are paid with funding from the project the debt seeks to finance. It may be used, for example, to build a hospital or a toll bridge, and bondholders are repaid with the revenue the hospital or toll bridge derives. Self-supporting debt is usually slightly higher risk than a general obligation bond because if the project fails to generate revenue, the bond will default. However, self-supporting debt is generally low risk and highly liquid. |
