Guterres proposes 15% cut to regular budget in 2026
Bangkok Post
|September 18, 2025
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is proposing a 15% cut to the UN's regular budget in 2026 as it struggles with chronic liquidity problems made more acute by US President Donald Trump's policies.
-
A senior United Nations official said the revised budget number is $3.238 billion (101.5 bilion baht) and would result in the elimination of 2,681 jobs.
Mr Guterres earlier had proposed to keep the 2026 budget at the same level as 2025-around $3.7 billion-but worked to reduce the amount as part of his UN80 Initiative to make the organisation more agile and efficient.
