Al-Saffar told Al-Furat News that "two or three days ago, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament (Bashir Al-Haddad) spoke on his own, and nothing was announced because there is no commitment to the law on financing the fiscal deficit, and will the problem of the final months of 2020 be resolved?" .

Budget negotiations will go on until Kurdistan Region receives a ‘good deal’: Deputy PM

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Kurdistan Region Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani said that the Kurdish delegation in Baghdad will not return to Erbil until they reach a deal with the federal government over their withheld share of the federal budget.

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is heavily dependent on its share of the Iraqi budget, and the KRG has said it cannot pay civil servants without its fair share of federal government money. The Region’s public employees have gone without salaries for much of 2020.

However, the already-existing budget dispute was further complicated in November with Iraqi parliament’s passing of the Fiscal Deficit Coverage Bill. Kurdish MPs staged a walk-out, angered over the obligation of Erbil to hand over an unspecified amount of oil in exchange for the Region’s budget share for the last two months of the year. 

KRG officials have expressed their disapproval of the deal, but said they would comply with it. 

“We are here to implement what is in the fiscal deficit bill that was passed,” Talabani told the media from Baghdad on Monday. “We are ready to abide by the points of the bill and are only waiting for Baghdad to tell us how much the Kurdistan Region budget share is in return for us abiding by it.”

The Fiscal Deficit Coverage Bill covers the salaries for civil servants in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region for the last two months of this year.

The KRG delegation arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday to settle the prolonged budget dispute between Erbil and Baghdad amid rising tension and civil servant protests in the Kurdistan Region over the past week.

“I ensure that negotiations are ongoing, and will go on until we reach a good deal,” Talabani said in response to rumors that negotiations have failed.

“We are not here to ask for more than we deserve, and we are not here looking for charity,” Talabani added. “A law has been passed and we are here to implement it.”

Negotiations over the terms for accessing the funds in the 2021 budget have already been decided on, according to several politicians in early December. 

The KRG has struggled to pay civil servant salaries in full and on time for five years due to the war against the Islamic State (ISIS) group, a drop in oil prices and disputes with the federal government.

SULAIMANI — Iraqi President Barham Salih met with the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) negotiating delegation on Thursday (December 17) in Baghdad, during which they discussed the importance of reaching constitutionally-sound solutions to the budget disagreements between the KRG and the federal government.

Second Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives Bashir al-Haddad and the heads of the Kurdish factions in Iraq’s parliament were also present, according to a statement released by President’s office.

During the meeting, the participants agreed on the importance of improving the economy in order to benefit the people of the Kurdistan Region and its public sector workers.

Earlier in the day, Salih met with a group of teachers and protesters who had participated in the recent round of demonstrations in Sulaimani to hear their perspectives on the KRG’s handling of the crisis.

On Wednesday, the KRG delegation met with Speaker of the Council of Representatives Muhammad al-Halbusi, his two deputies, and several committee chairs to discuss the ongoing talks over the budget and finances.

The delegation has been in Baghdad since last week.

Tensions between the two governments came to a head in April when Baghdad cut off all funding to the KRG following Erbil’s fifteen-month refusal to send oil to the federal government as it was required to under the 2019 Federal Budget Law.
