Message from the Comptroller
I am pleased to present the State of New York’s Financial Condition Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
After closing deep projected budget gaps just a few years ago, New York State’s short-term financial condition has improved. The State’s General Fund ended SFY 2015-16 with an exceptionally large balance, which enhances budgetary flexibility in the near term and is expected to support increased capital investment and other purposes over multiple years.
