general obligation bond
Definition
Government bond issued with the government's commitment to use its full taxing and borrowing authority (and other revenue resources) to make timely payment of interest and principal. Bonds issued by government agencies (municipalities, for example) may not have this power, and may rely only on the revenue from the project (to finance which the bond was issued). Also called full faith and credit bond.
