This represents anincrease of$131,233,300, or8.1percent,andcompares witha 9percentincrease fortheinitial estimates for1984-1985 overtherevised estimates forthe1982-1983 biennium. Thecorresponding increases duringthe lastthreebienniums ofthe1970srangedbetween 19and21percent.The Advisory Committee notesthattherecentlowerincreases between therevised andproposed initial estimates showthecombined effects ofthepolicyof budgetary restraint, thestrength oftheUnitedStatesdollarandtheimpact oflowerratesofinflation.Deletion ofprovisional estimates Increased turnover deduction Reductions inrecurrent andnon-recurrent items$ 744400 1481300 14110000 8.TheSecretary-General indicates inparagraph 8ofhisForeword thatthe 1986-1987 programme buqgetproposals show"areal rate ofgrowthoverthe previous biennium of0.4percent"3/(seealsopara.32ofthe Introduction).

**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the budget and expenditure estimates of the United Nations for a specific biennium, with a focus on the organization's financial management and planning. It mentions various aspects such as inflation, real growth rates, and turnover deductions, which suggests that the category should be related to economic or financial management. However, the text does not specifically mention economic development, natural resources, or environmental issues, which are often associated with the UN's work.
