United Nations financing and programming

The overall United Nations financial position continued to be generally positive in 2007, although the situation remained fragile. Cash availability under the regular budget was higher than in 2006 and stood at $283 million by year’s end. However, aggregate assessments had risen by some $299 million and unpaid assessments reached $428 million, compared to $361 million in 2006. Cash resources for peacekeeping amounted to over $2.7 billion, while debt owed to Member States stood at $779 million. The number of Member States paying their regular budget assessments in full and on time increased to 140.
