Despite an improving fiscal picture that includes higher bond ratings, New York City faces risks as it emerges from the darkest days of the pandemic, state and city fiscal watchdogs said.

The board, established during the city’s financial crisis during the 1970s and which still signs off on the city’s budget, remained in sunset mode Tuesday as it rubber-stamped a $98.7 billion spending plan for fiscal 2022.
