SULAIMANI — A negotiating delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and officials from Iraq’s federal government have agreed to joint mechanisms to implement the 2021 Federal Budget Law passed two months ago, according to a statement from negotiators.

The delegation, which was led by KRG Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, said that the two sides officially signed a document agreeing to prepare reports for the federal Ministry of Finance on implementation.

“The Kurdistan Region’s delegation showed its readiness to make all facilities and preparations for federal financial supervision and to perform their duties within the framework of the mechanism they agreed on,” it said.

While news of an agreement would be welcome, the process has been littered with hang-ups over implementation.

On March 31, the Council of Representatives passed Iraq’s annual budget, which included a financial agreement between Erbil and Baghdad.

The KRG is supposed to receive 9.5 trillion Iraqi dinars ($6.5 billion) from the budget, which will be disbursed in monthly increments, in return for submitting 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day to Iraq's oil marketer SOMO for export and a portion of the income derived from customs duties at international border crossings with Iran and Turkey.

The KRG has sent no oil or customs duties to Baghdad and in response the federal government has not resumed cash transfers to Erbil.

Those budget transfers would theoretically enable the KRG to pay full public sector salaries. For more than a year it has either not paid public servants or cut their salaries by nearly a quarter, leading to widespread frustration among the Region’s middle class.

ERBIL — A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is in Baghdad, where it is set to meet with oil minister of Iraq to discuss the implementation of the 2021 Budget Law.

According to the budget law, the KRG is required to submit 250,000 barrels of oil daily to Iraq’s State Organization for Marketing Oil (SOMO), which the delegation will discuss during the meeting.

The KRG has already expressed its commitment to fulfill its obligations under the budget law, saying that it expects the Iraqi partners to share Erbil’s financial entitlements as well.

The KRG delegation on Monday held a meeting with the Ministry of Finance and Economy where they both agreed to facilitate the implementation of the budget law.

ERBIL - Kurdistan Region Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, who leads a Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) delegation in Baghdad, was received by PM Mustafa al-Kadhimi on Wednesday, both reiterating the commitment to the Federal Budget Law.

The two leaders shed light on the Budget Law and a mechanism to implement the agreement between Erbil and Baghdad on the Kurdistan Region's share of the budget bill for the current year, Talabani's office said in a statement.

They both reaffirmed commitment to the budget law and discussed the relations between Erbil and Baghdad, the statement added.

"Once again, the two sides affirmed their commitment to the financial budget law to solve the outstanding problems in accordance with the constitution and the law, and to establish a long-term agreement."
