a FYs 2020 through 2022 debt limits are based on the NYC Comptroller’s Office’s forecasts of assessed value and related
full market value of real property.
b Net adjusted for Original Issue Discount, Capital Appreciation Bonds, GO bonds issued for the water and sewer system and Business
Improvement District debt.
c Reflect City-funds capital commitments as of the FY 2019 Adopted Capital Commitment Plan (released in October 2018) and
includes cost of issuance and certain Inter-Fund Agreements. In July 2009, the State Legislature authorized the issuance of TFA Future
Tax Secured bonds above the initial authorization of $13.5 billion, with the condition that this debt would be counted against the general
debt limit. Thus, City capital commitments will be funded with TFA debt as well.
Note: The Debt Affordability Statement released by the City in April 2018 presents data for the last day of each fiscal year,
June 30th, instead of the first day of each fiscal year, July 1, as reflected in this table. The City’s Debt Affordability
Statement forecasts that indebtedness would be below the general debt limit by $27.3 billion at the end of FY 2019.
