Twenty-third regular session

Item 9 of the provisional agenda (GC(XXIII)/609)

THE AGENCY'S BUDGET FOR 1980

Modifications

1. At the beginning of November the Director General circulated a note-^ to

inform the General Conference of his intention to consult the Board of Governors

about ways of overcoming the difficulties confronting the Agency an a result of

the fluctuations in currency exchange rates that have occurred since the

estimates in the Agency's budget for 1980-/ wore prepared.

2. When the Board came to consider the matter on 30 November, it was informed

by the Director General that the United Nations operational rate of exchange of

the Austrian schilling to the United States dollar, which stood at 14.00

schillings to the dollar in June, when the Board reviewed the budget estimates

for 1980, had been fixed at 12.90 schillings to the dollar with effect from

1 November. Just as the change in the rate from 15.05 to 14.00 schillings had

necessitated a provision in the estimates of $4 080 000, as the Board has

explained in the introduction to the estimates^ , so this further reduction in

the value of the dollar will make it necessary to increase the budget estimates

by $4 987 000 in order fully to finance the programme of activities which the

Board has decided is to be carried out under next year's Regular Budget.

3. The Board, for its part, has considered how the $4 987 000 could be raised

with the least inconvenience to Members. It recommends that this amount bo

financed as follows: $500 000 from the cash surplus in respect of 1978,

$500 000 from miscellaneous income for 1979, and $3 987 000 from contributions

by Member States on the basis of the scale of assessment to be fixed by the

General Conference.

during recent months, however, an amount of 19 O67 000 has been included under
