United Nations financing and programming

The overall financial situation of the United Nations continued to be generally positive in 2003, although there was some cause for concern. By year’s end, unpaid assessments were significantly lower than in 2002 and the number of Member States paying their regular budget contribution in full and on time increased appreciably. However, aggregate cash fell and the cash balances of the tribunals were negative. Unpaid assessments reached $1,603 million, compared with $1,684 million in 2002, and debt to Member States for troops and contingent-owned equipment was $449 million as against $703 million at the end of 2002.
