TRENTON –State Treasury Bradley Abelow has received an interim report from a financial
advisor retained by Treasury – UBS Investment Bank -- to assist in the
development of an asset and liability study. Following a more in-depth analysis
of asset classes, assets and financial vehicles identified in this UBS report,
the Treasurer will make recommendations to Governor Jon S. Corzine on what public-private
partnership options could be pursued. The Governor directed the Treasurer to
conduct the study as part of his address to the special property tax reform session
of the Legislature in July, with the focus on reducing State debt and better
meeting New Jersey’s capital needs. On November 1, the Treasurer and Transportation
Commissioner Kris Kolluri indicated that the UBS interim study, when received,
would be made available for review. A copy of the UBS
report has been posted
on the Treasury home page: www.state.nj.us/treasury.
