New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced a tentative schedule for the planned sale of obligations for the state, New York City, and their major public authorities during the second quarter of 2016.

The proposed new issuances total approximately $3.61 billion, including $1.63 billion scheduled for this month, $1.52 billion for May and $463 million for June. The second quarter of anticipated new issuances compares to past planned new issuances of approximately $3.82 billion during the first quarter of 2016 and $4.95 billion during the second quarter of 2015.

"This budget reflects stronger economic times and assists individuals and families who have not shared equally in the state's economic prosperity. The details of the budget came together late in the process and outside the public's view, so more analysis is needed to examine the long-term impact of these spending decisions. My office expects to finish our analysis of the enacted budget in the coming weeks."
