ERBIL - The Iraqi Parliament on Saturday passed the country's 2018 budget bill without the attendance of the Kurdish representatives in the session.

Speaking to BasNews, Rezan Sheikh Dler, a Kurdish lawmaker in the Iraqi parliament said that the Iraqi parliament approved the budget bill even though the Kurdish factions boycotted the session.

"The Kurdish leadership has to inform the international community of this action of Iraq because passing such a significant bill without the presence of the Kurds is totally unconstitutional," she added.

According to the current bill, the Kurdistan Region will receive only 12 percent, while the real percentage is 17 as both sides agreed upon it after the collapse of the regime in 2003.

After the Kurdistan Region held a referendum in September, the federal government began to punish the region, including decreasing its budget share.

Do you think they need a rate before completing the budget?  They are enforcing a tax rate of 10% on the people with a program rate? Taxation? How is it ossible?

Ten percent of nothing is nothing. They have a rate currently, it just isn't the rate we would like. Does anyone think a new rate would be included in a document that 350 +something MOPS have access to, not to mention everyone else that has access to  the budget? Think the "rate" might be leaked out?

This is what I had said originally.  However, I learned that it was the IMF directing Parliament to lower their share to 12%.  So if they are mad, take their itchbayin to the IMF.

(Reuters) - Iraq's parliament approved a budget on Saturday, lawmakers said, but Kurdish MPs boycotted the vote over their region's allocation.

The budget of 104 trillion Iraqi dinars ($88 billion) is based on projected oil exports of 3.8 million barrels per day (bpd) at a price of $46.

It envisions government revenues of 91.64 trillion dinars ($77.6 billion) with a deficit of 12.5 trillion dinars ($10.58 billion), according to lawmakers.

The projected 3.8 million bpd exports include a 250,000 bpd contribution from Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

"We boycotted the vote and there are proposals for Kurdistan to withdraw from the entire political process in Iraq over the unfair treatment we have received," said Kurdish MP Ashwaq Jaff.

The budget trimmed the Kurdistan Regional Government's share to 12.67 percent, down from the 17 percent the region has traditionally been entitled to since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

Oil exports, Iraq's main source of revenue, have risen above 3.4 million barrels per day this year but a global slump in prices for crude, compounded by the costs of rebuilding an infrastructure damaged by the war against Islamic State, have battered the country’s finances.

WOWZA.... Is this for real?

 

B/A

 

I do hope this is the case B/A. However, citing the above article; the Kurds state this is unconstitutional because they weren't in attendance may present a problem ? ? ?  They stubbornly & stupidly shot themselves in the foot with the referendum ( Sept. '17 ) after being warned by everyone NOT to; to include the UN if memory serves. They've been awkward & defiant ever since and Baghdad has pushed back hard. The Kurds continue to dig their heels in, Boycotting Parliamentary proceedings.

 

In Baghdad's ( the Arab way of doing things ) own way, they've given Erbil the opportunity to get back into the game, still the Kurds remain belligerent and now they're " Crying Foul ??? " They have only themselves to blame. We all get they want autonomy; they need better, smarter and way less greedy leadership with a fresh approach. Clearly, doing the same things over & over with the same devastating results is in itself a good definition of " insanity "

 

Won't have long to wait to see if the Kurds want to tie up the " Unconstitutional Budget " in court.

 

Looking every bit the spoiled 8 year old, arms tightly folded across his chest, stomping his feet, holding his breath as he turns blue and refusing to participate in the process, hardly endears himself to rally the Global Community to " their Cause. "

Aram Sheikh Mohammed confirms that the insistence on passing the federal budget without taking into account the rights of the Kurds is a clear marginalization and abortion of what has been agreed upon by all parties in the political process ...

 March 2, 2018 53 Views

Held today Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament Aram Sheikh Mohammed with the Kurdish blocs a press conference criticized the passage of the federal budget law for 2018 on the basis of the majority present in the meeting and in a way not to take into account the benefits of the Kurdistan region in the budget of salaries of employees and financial allocations to the Peshmerga and reduce the proportion of 17% of the region.

He added that "Kurdish blocs held a series of meetings with the Prime Minister and political blocs with the aim of resolving differences on the budget law, but unfortunately we are surprised today by federal budget law on the agenda was supposed to hold a meeting of the presidencies of the three before the vote on the federal budget and access to understandings and solutions satisfactory For everyone".

Sheikh Mohammed stressed in the press conference that the insistence on passing the budget law in this way is a miscarriage of the agreement of the political blocs, and will inevitably affect the political process and the lives of citizens in the Kurdistan region, and demanded the Vice President and the international community to intervene and correct the path and return to understandings and dialogues to resolve Differences.

"We boycotted the vote and there are proposals for Kurdistan to withdraw from the entire political process in Iraq over the unfair treatment we have received," said Kurdish MP Ashwaq Jaff.

I had to read that twice.   Looks to me like they "boycotted the vote", and now they are considering a "withdrawal from the political process".

 

From this corner, that's the same ding dang thang.

".....that the insistence on passing the federal budget without taking into account the rights of the Kurds....."

 

I'm wondering (hoping) that they insisted on passing the budget before the end of the first quarter, so that they don't get too deep into the year to change the rate?
