(a)     Exhibits

        Exhibit 99.1 Press Release dated February 27, 2003.

Item 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

        On February 27, 2003, MBIA Inc. (the "Registrant") announced that the
        company has reinitiated its share repurchase program in light of current
        market conditions and the trading levels of MBIA shares. The company had
        previously halted its share repurchases in November upon becoming aware
        of significant short selling activity in its stock.

        The company has approximately 3.4 million shares remaining in the 11.25
        million share buyback program. Subject to changes in business and market
        conditions, the company will likely repurchase the remaining shares
        under the original Board authorization by the end of 2003.

        Attached is a copy of the press release.
