Three of the issuers who fell out of the top 10 — the Louisiana Local Government Environmental Facilities and Community Development Authority, the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and the Virginia Small Business Financial Authority — dropped to the Top 15. Meanwhile, the fourth issuer, the Regents of the University of Michigan, did not issue any debt during the first half of 2023.
