The ceiling for the acquisition of electric or hybrid vehicles is changed to $45,000 while that of combustion vehicles remains at $38,000.

UNDP has changed its asset capitalization threshold from US $1,500 to US $5,000. This policy change will significantly reduce the volume (i.e. quantity) of assets in the asset register thereby allowing UNDP to focus attention on higher value items. The change in policy should also result in a more effective verification and certification process. Clause 2 of the policy has been updated to reflect the capitalization of vehicles with a purchase price of $5,000 or more.
