Taxable Equivalent Yield  

Municipal bonds are sold by cities, counties, states and other political bodies (public hospital, school district).

The federal government and its agencies do not sell municipal bonds. However, most municipals are free of federal taxes. Because of this, the stated interest rate on municipals is typically lower than comparable non tax-exempt bonds.
