obligation bond

基本解釋

New York needs voters to approve any general-obligation bond;
紐約發(fā)行任何一般責任債券都需要全民公投；
New York needs voters to approve any general-obligation bond; so, since 2002, it has relied on bonds backed by personal income-tax revenues which don’t require that approval.
紐約發(fā)行任何一般責任債券都需要全民公投；所以自2002年以來，紐約政府已經(jīng)依靠個人所得稅收入支持的債券進行了大量借貸，發(fā)行這種債券不需要公投。
So when Moody's says a collateralized debt obligation, a corporate bond and a sovereign issue are all rated AA, the implication is that the three types of bonds are equally healthy.
也就是說，當穆迪將一種債務(wù)擔保證券、一種公司債券和一種主權(quán)債券均評為AA級，那就意味著穆迪認為這三種債券的信用程度是相同的。

For example, is it a general obligation bond or is it tied to a specific tax or revenue stream?
