CORE BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1996/7

The IAI's core budget proposal for the 1996/7 fiscal year outlines a total expenditure plan covering personnel, travel, and other operational costs. While a deficit of US$ 125,000 is forecast for Year 2, the IAI intends to cover this using US$ 260,000 in unspent contributions from previous years. The proposal includes requests for a new Budget and Fiscal Policy Working Group and the establishment of a cost-of-living adjustment mechanism for international staff based in Brazil.

• The IAI Directorate's staff consists of seven members: three expatriate officers (Director, Financial Officer, and Scientific Officer) and four Brazilian staff provided by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
• Total core contributions received to date amount to US$ 285,300, covering the period from 1994-5 through Year 3. This includes a transfer of US$ 240,003.03 from the National Science Foundation on 11 July 1996, which contained contributions from Argentina, Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Uruguay.
• Outstanding contributions are listed as US$ 65,000 for Year 1 and US$ 495,000 for Year 2.
• The budget for Year 2 forecasts a deficit of US$ 125,000 because agreed contributions are insufficient. The IAI plans to use US$ 260,000 in unspent contributions from 1994-5 and Year 1 to cover this, resulting in a forecast balance of US$ 145,000 as of 30 June 1997.
• Personnel costs for Year 2 include salaries and benefits for the Director (US$ 154,241), Scientific Officer (US$ 113,750), and Financial Officer (US$ 106,687), alongside a US$ 9,000 salary supplement for the Assistant to the Director.
• The IAI is investigating cost-of-living adjustment schemes (such as UN, OAS, or local Brazilian indices) to adjust international staff salaries annually, following a 10-15% increase in the cost of living in Brazil over the previous fiscal year.
• The proposal recommends the creation of a Budget and Fiscal Policy Working Group, with 4-5 members to be nominated at the fourth Executive Council meeting in Havana, Cuba.
