Projected 2008 Debt Situation

• Increase in projected obligations compared to 2007 is primarily due to the deployment of troops in UNAMID partly offset by the reduction of the authorized military strength of UNMIL, lower deployment in UNIFIL and termination of UNMEE’s mandate.

• Payments for troops/formed police unit costs were current up to July 2008 for UNMEE and up to August 2008 for MINUSTAH, MONUC, UNAMID, UNDOF, UNIFIL, UNMIL, UNMIS, UNMIT and UNOCI. Payments for contingent-owned equipment and self-sustainment claims were current up to March 08 for MINUSTAH and UNOCI and up to June 08 for MONUC, UNDOF, UNIFIL, UNMEE, UNMIL, UNMIS, and UNMIT.

• Payments for troops/formed police units costs and contingent-owned equipment/self-sustainment are behind the quarterly payment schedule for MINURSO (up to March 02), UNOMIG (up to December 06), UNFICYP (up to May 07), and UNMIK (up to November 07).

• Payments for contingent-owned equipment and self-sustainment of troops are contingent on the timely finalization of the memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and subsequent submission of claims and their certification by DFS. As at the end of September 2008, out of 307 MOUs for all peacekeeping missions, 59 (19%) were yet to be finalized.

CONCLUSIONS

Financial indicators show a mixed picture for 2008.

Financial position of regular budget reflects current deficit with projected worsening deficit in last quarter of 2008. Borrowing will be required from reserve accounts with projected worsening deficit in November and December 2008.

Unpaid peacekeeping assessments increased as compared to end December 2007, but is below the level at 31 October 2007. Amount outstanding of $2.9 billion at 24 October 2008 as compared to $3.5 billion at 31 October 2007. Significant levels remain outstanding for peacekeeping operations.

Nevertheless improvement in some indicators. Further decrease in debt to Member States providing troops and equipment to peacekeeping operations. Steady progress reflected in debt reduction from over $1 billion in January 2007 to $779 million in January 2008, with a projected amount of $645 million at end December 2008.

In order to maintain financial health of the Organization it remains as critical as ever for Member States to meet their financial obligations to the United Nations in full and on time.
