A delegation from Kurdistan heads to Baghdad next week to discuss the 2021 budget "This issue depends on Baghdad's obligations." 10 hours Assistant to the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government for Financial and Economic Affairs, Rebaz Hamlan ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - An official in the Kurdistan Regional Government said that a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government will visit Baghdad next week to discuss the implementation of the general budget law, and indicated that the payment of employees' salaries at the present time depends on the imports available to the government. Assistant Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government for Financial and Economic Affairs, Rebaz Hamlan, told Kurdistan 24, "The delegation of the Kurdistan Regional Government intends to visit Baghdad next week with the aim of implementing the Iraqi budget law for 2021, especially the part related to the rights and entitlements of the Kurdistan Region." He pointed out that the Kurdistan Regional Government delegation will discuss technical issues in implementing the budget law as it is, especially after the region has confirmed its commitment to the law, and said that the delegation includes technicians from the Ministries of Finance and Natural Resources. And about whether the regional government will continue to reduce funding for a percentage of salaries, Hamlan said, "This issue depends on Baghdad's obligations." He continued, "If Baghdad sends the region’s share and it is sufficient with oil imports, taxes and customs, then there will be no deductions." "But if not sent, the deduction will remain in light of the imports available to us, but the deduction will be less this month," Hamlan added. Regarding the budget of the Kurdistan Region for the year 2021, Hamlan said that "the draft law contained some deficiencies, and it was sent to the Ministry of Finance to fix these issues, and then it will be sent to the Council of Ministers at the next meeting and then referred to the Kurdistan Parliament."
