The Committee notes with concern the increase in borrowing from the accounts of closed peacekeeping missions with cash surpluses in order to meet the cash flow requirements of active peacekeeping missions with cash deficits, mainly because of the unpredictability in the receipt of assessed contributions. (...) The Advisory Committee notes that the Secretary-General proposes either to borrow, or to transfer permanently, a portion of the $335.5 million unencumbered balance of the special account for the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) as at 30 June 2011 in order to settle the amount owed to troop- and police-contributing countries by closed peacekeeping missions that are in cash deficit. (...) In this regard, the Committee recommends that the General Assembly request the Secretary-General to submit concrete proposals both to address the issue of outstanding dues to Member States from closed peacekeeping missions that are in net cash deficit; and for a long-term solution to the cash shortfalls for active missions that currently can only be met by borrowing from closed peacekeeping missions. In this regard, the Committee also considers that, in doing so, some proposals that were made in the past, could be revisited such the proposal to apply available credits against outstanding contributions.

“The economic fallout from the pandemic has placed a lot of our borrowing member countries in survival mode,” says Issac Solomon, the Caribbean Development Bank’s vice president of operations.  (...) ROOM FOR MANOEUVRE  In the short-term, experts worry that rising Caribbean debt will reduce countries’ ability to borrow more money in the case of a major hurricane while forcing them to spend even more on servicing their borrowing costs.   (...) Borrowing to pay for social protection measures during the pandemic helped inflate Barbados’ debt levels to 144 percent of GDP in 2020.

To allow for this risk, lenders have to charge high rates on loans, including those for necessities such as seeds, holding borrowers in a poverty trap. Also, in agricultural communities a disaster like a flood or drought usually hits lenders as well as borrowers, making credit scarce just when it is needed most. (...) Moreover, institutions such as the Grameen Bank sometimes offer training or basic literacy programmes that can make the loans more useful to the borrower. But such institutions have often succeeded only because they rejected old assumptions about lending money. (...) Then they'll have the confidence to borrow. And, perhaps most important, don't be afraid to lend for consumption.
