3 SAF/DBFS/DPF I Proposed Program-Budget

4 Proposed Global Budget Level The combined Proposal represents a 4% decline from the 2009 level due primarily to anticipated lower contributions for the Specific Funds. Proposed Regular and Voluntary (FEMCIDI) Funds appropriation levels for 2010 will remain at the 2009 approved levels. Specific Fund contributions are projected at $81.9 million, versus $90.0 million in 2009.

5 Proposed Regular Fund Budget Appropriation Levels (AG/Res. 1 (XXXVI – E/08) In order to limit the 2010 Regular Fund Budget to 2009 levels, while absorbing anticipated statutory (e.g. COLA) and inflationary pressures, the GS/OAS made a number of key assumptions:

6 Inflation and related COLA adjustments in 2010 are projected at 1% over the 2009 levels. These minor projected increases are absorbed within the $90.1 million ceiling. The number of posts to be financed by the Regular Fund in 2010 is reduced by 13 (from the 2009 level of 547) in order to accommodate COLA and other personnel costs within the Object 1 ceiling of $58.0 million. Non-personnel (Objects 2 - 9) are also capped at 2009 levels. No provision for urgent building repairs or capital investments are included in the 2010 Regular Fund budget proposal. These are being addressed under a separate request (see CP/CAAP/INF. 23/09).CP/CAAP/INF. 23/09 Proposed Regular Fund Budget Key Assumptions

7 The Regular Fund budget proposal does not contain provisions for Main Building centennial celebrations, special General Assemblies or other extraordinary events. Proposed Regular Fund Budget Key Assumptions (cont.)

9 Had the 2001 appropriation level kept pace with inflation, the 2010 Regular Fund appropriation would have been set at $110.3 million. If the 2010 budget proposal were to fully address current requirements (not taking into account capital improvement needs) the budget ceiling would be in the vicinity of $97 million. With only a modest increase of 3% maintaining the recent trajectory the budget ceiling would be $92.8 million. Proposed Regular Fund Budget
