The secretary general of the United Nations said July 27 that its cash supply had been severely depleted because of what he described as delayed contributions by many member states, and he warned the organization’s employees that they must find ways to cut expenses.
“Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning,” Secretary General António Guterres said in an internal memorandum to employees shared with The New York Times. “We are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer.”
