UN expects 'meaningful reductions' in 2027 budget - Guterres

United Nations, May 12 (UNI) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday that the UN budget will see significant cuts in the financial year of 2027.
"Additional challenges that require more detailed analysis will be presented in the proposal for the proposed program budget for 2027. We expect meaningful reductions in the over all budget level," Guterres said at a UN General Assembly meeting. "We expect meaningful reductions in the overall budget level."
Separately, the revised version of the 2026 budget will be presented in September, which will give enough time to approve the budget before the end of the year, Guterres added.
