NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) Feb. 20, 2018--S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'AA' long-term rating to New York City's fiscal 2018 series E bonds (subseries tax-exempt E-1, taxable E-2, and taxable E-3) general obligation (GO) bonds. Concurrent with the issuance of these bonds, the city expects to issue $50 million of tax-exempt fiscal 2018 subseries E-5 multi-modal variable rate bonds, which we will rate at a future date. At the same time, New York City is converting fiscal 2004 subseries A-6, fiscal 2008 J-4, and fiscal 2011 subseries F-3 indexed-rate bonds outstanding into fixed-rate bonds; we are affirming our existing 'AA' long-term general obligation bond ratings on these series. The outlook is stable. At the same time, S&P Global Ratings
