UNITED NATIONS, April 3 -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has sent a letter to UN member states, expressing concerns over "enormous challenges" posed by COVID-19 and financial pressure of UN operations, his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said here on Thursday. The world organization ended 2019 with arrears of 711 million U.S. dollars, the highest level for a decade and a 34 percent increase compared to 2018, Guterres said, adding that the pressure comes from continued financial constraints. There is a sharp decline of 42 percent in the payment of assessments by member states, compared to 50 percent in earlier years, he added. The secretary-general also said in his letter that he is directing managers to temporarily suspend all hiring for regular budget operations and to further scale down non-post expenses to ensure timely payments to staff and vendors.
