Abstract
There is some degree of misperception concerning the superiority of the competitive sale as the evidence suggests that large portion of municipal emissions take the form of negotiated purchase. The following article describes the procedure for negotiation of the eventual bond emissions in municipality of Shtip, Republic of Macedonia. The aim is to predetermine the most cost-effective method for evaluation of underwriter’s municipal bond purchase proposal due to the substantial inexperience and deficit of expertise of the city’s internal services. The literature offers various measures available to compare the relative costs of bond financing proposals. While net interest cost and net-present value are considered improper, it is thought that the best reliance for the purpose comes from the true interest cost method. The procedure incorporates calculation of true interest cost and duration of the underwriter’s proposal and matching them with those for a sample group of similar bonds. In this particular case, as there are no other municipals to compare with, that would be the only available bond market index of the Macedonian Stock Exchange named OMB, with a portfolio completely made of long-term government securities. Keywords— Municipal Bonds, Duration, Total Interest Cost, Negotiated Sale, Competitive Sale, Municipality of Shtip, Republic of Macedonia.
