I think Abadi has lost his compass, hence; has lost his vision for this whole "monatary policy" thing. He now appears to be a dog chasing his tail!

Iraq: Baghdad-Erbil relations grow sour

Kurdish regional government says, failing payment from Baghdad, it will take a political decision to solve its economic crisis.
 

ERBIL, Iraq

Relations between the central government in Baghdad and the Kurdish regional government in Erbil are growing sour as Erbil awaits full payment for oil, according to statement by the Kurdish regional government.

Unless Baghdad begins to make timely and full payments, the Kurdish regional government has warned that it will find other solutions for the problem.

Erbil and Baghdad had reached an agreement in December 2014 whereby the Kurdish region would export 550,000 barrels of oil per day under the supervision of SOMO, State Organization for Marketing of Oil, which is responsible for marketing Iraq's oil. In return, Baghdad would allocate 17 percent of the national budget to the Kurdish region.

But when Erbil started exporting to different countries via Turkey, Baghdad failed to send the full amount of Erbil’s share, citing obligations on its funds.

According to Kurdish officials, Baghdad is supposed to send a monthly amount of $1 billion to Erbil. However, Erbil received only $500 million in three months with total amount of $1.5 billion.

The Kurdish region is suffering from the non-payment, and the Kurdish government is struggling to pay the salaries of Peshmerga, police and civil servants. The cabinet of the Kurdish regional government met Tuesday to discuss this issue.

Barzani also said that the Erbil government  could take a political decision and find another way to solve the economic need in the region, according to a statement on the Kurdish government’s official website Wednesday.

"The central government’s problem is that it thinks that the region has no other option, and deals with the region as it wants to, and this is wrong. The region has other options and we will  make our decision," Barzani said.

"But we still seek to reach a solution with the Iraqi government, and we will visit Baghdad," Barzani said.

Kurdish regional government' natural resources minister, Ashti Hawrami, accused the central government of looking for excuses to escape payment, and of not calculating the amount of oil supplied by the region correctly. 

According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the region has exported 16.3 million barrels of oil in April through SOMO. Baghdad claims it had only received 15.3 million.

Replying to these accusations, a central government spokesman accused Monday the regional government of failing to send the agreed upon amount of oil. 

Speaking on television, spokesman Saad Hadisi placed the blame for the stalled agreement on Erbil.

"In the past three months, the KRG didn't stick to the agreement regarding oil delivery. It has been a week since the regional government could finally send the agreed amount, so this is the reason why the central government has not sent the KRG’s total share of the national budget," Hadisi said referring to the regional government by its initials.

Let's hope Abadi gets out of the fog and gets his bearings back, like now. All the religious and political factions are distracting him from the forest because of their trees. I hope he knows what is right. I know he knows what is right. Stop running around, this is the most central plan that will achieve most of what each group wants. We are simply going to do it. Now we go and get it done.

Get it done guys... The HCL is getting old.!

 

I was just thinking the same thing. They sure do talk about and publish things a lot.

 

Lets face it. "They are fine with the HCA as it is." a few tweaks here or there and then make it a law. 

 

This is NOT in my opinion what is holding up the Revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Baghdad is not honoring the agreement as the the Kurds are still sending their president downtown to try to fix this repeatedly. I understand the bottom dropped out the oil price and through them all for a spin.....but the price of oil is back up. Question; If the Kurds can't honor their pay checks to their countrymen with that billion dollar paycheck (that has been half what was "agreed" upon) than Baghdad is not even honoring their agreement..... And then going so far as to accuse the Kurds of not even sending 550000 barrels of oil a day. I would believe the Kurdish side before I would believe Baghdad. Their is a very big reason Baghdad won't sign the HCL into law if that is how it is. They can't get along without the Kurds oil, but don't want to honor their financial obligations to them. If it was a law, Baghdad would be forced to honor it or the Kurds would have legal actions they could use against Baghdad. I see crazy Maliki shenanigans back into play here.... Abadi , as well as the government is focusing on everything but the HCL. That talk in Switzerland about things to come was just talk as the HCA obviously holds no water either.... Abadi has got to get back into the saddle and take control again and do right by the Kurds, or he is flirting with serious problems. Maybe that is the age old problem of Baghdad, they want the Kurds oil, but they don't want pay them properly for it.... Might not ever change....
