The General Assembly had adopted no resolution approving the zero nominal growth approach and the Secretariat should therefore present proposals based on the real needs of the Organization and inform the Assembly of the actual total of resources allocated for 2006 2007.

Moreover, even if prices on average exhibit some downward flexibility, deflation necessarily increases the real rate of interest, given that nominal interest rates cannot fall below zero.
