Consideration of scenarios for 2014 Program-Budget Ceiling
Secretariat for Administration and Finance
April 2013
2014 Program-BudgetAssumptions
• Impact of statutory increases on RF personnel expenditures: $1.9 million
Impact of 2013 increases 666.2
Health and Life Insurance 139.6
Salary / Post Adjustment 755.1
Step Increases 379.5
1,940.4
2014 Program-BudgetFinancing Considerations for All Scenarios
• Reduced Income to the Regular Fund:– Prompt Payments discounts to member States in 2014: $553
thousand (64% increase)– FEMCIDI 15% contribution reduced by $176 thousand (-58%
decrease)
• ICR contribution to the RF to remain unchanged ($1.5 million).
• 100% of rental income now needed to cover repayment of demand notes for F Street renovation. $500k income contribution to Regular Fund no longer included, and expense for repayment to be charged to Rental Income Fund.
Why reduce rental income?
• Rental income served a dual purpose– To make payments on funds borrowed to finance renovation/improvements
to GSB and Main building infrastructure during 2001-2004.– To defray maintenance costs of leased office space and some of the GSB’s
maintenance costs
• In the past, $500 thousand from rental income was allocated to the Regular Fund as income exceeded required debt payments.
• In recent years, debt servicing and rental income are nearly equal; thus, all rental income must be used to make payments on the demand note. This prompted the Secretariat to transfer, every year, $500 thousand back to its funding account, effectively cancelling out the rental income of the RF.
