In terms of the Regular Resources, according to the midterm review of the
integrated budget 2014-2017 dated 7 April 2016, while UNFPA was on track to
achieve the revenue targets for Regular Resources in 2014, during 2015, “the global
financial outlook changed significantly, mostly driven by adverse exchange rates
against a strong United States dollar”.1 As a result, Regular Resources in 2015
totalled USD398 million, falling short of the USD478 million projected. Based on
these financial trends, as well as communications received from key donors for 2016,
the contribution revenue projections for Regular Resources for 2016 and 2017 have
been updated from USD482 million to USD340 million, and from USD486 million to
USD350 million, respectively.2 The revised integrated budget was approved by the
Executive Board in June 2016.3 UNFPA funding issues were discussed again by the
Executive Board in September 2016, which noted that the currency fluctuations could
affect the resource levels of UNFPA and encouraged member states to increase their
contributions to Regular Resources.4

substantially from approximately USD2.6 million in 2015 to USD1.8 million in 2016
