UN plans cost cuts: centralize admin, cut staff, save $126M since 2017, aim for $3.2B 2026 budget.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has proposed a common administrative platform for UN offices in New York and Bangkok to cut costs and boost efficiency, centralizing payroll across three hubs and reviewing functions in high-cost locations for potential relocation.
The plan aims to reduce the 2026 regular budget to $3.238 billion—a 15.1% drop from 2025—and cut staffing to 11,594 posts, a 18.8% reduction.
Since 2017, the UN has saved $126 million by ending New York leases, with $24.5 million in annual savings expected by 2027.
