Parliamentary Finance: The Kurdistan Region has not handed over oil imports to the Iraqi government

Kurdistan

 August 15, 2021 09:21 PM

 

 

Mubasher: The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament announced that the Kurdistan region has not handed over oil imports and outlets to the federal government.

Committee member Mahasin Hamdoun said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), today, Sunday, that the Kurdistan Region has adopted the value system in paying the entitlements, meaning that it calculates its share on the basis of the 2021 budget, and is paid according to the difference between the region's budget and its entitlement, which is paid by the federal government.

Regarding the 2022 budget, Hamdoun saw that "it is difficult to approve the budget for the remainder of the parliament's life," explaining that "the parliament's sessions are suspended, and even if the text of the draft budget is sent in the ninth month, it is difficult for parliament to meet for approval within one month because of the proximity of the elections."

Yesterday, Saturday, the Kurdistan Regional Government revealed the issuance of a decision by the federal government to send 200 billion dinars to the region, as part of its share under the 2021 budget.

The head of the Kurdistan Regional Government's representative in Baghdad, Faris Issa, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the federal government decided to send 200 billion dinars to the Kurdistan government this month, as a government letter was issued to the Federal Ministry of Finance for the purpose of disbursing the amount and transferring it to the region."

Baghdad sends 200bn IQD transfer to Erbil for August

A pile of Iraqi dinar banknotes (File)

PM:02:01:29/08/2021

 

 

SULAIMANI — The federal government sent a monthly cash transfer of 200 billion Iraqi dinar ($137 million) to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Sunday (August 29) for the second time since July, a source from the KRG Ministry of Finance told NRT.

Under an agreement with Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, the KRG began to receive a monthly stipend of 200 billion dinars per month in July.

The agreement, however, does not resolve major budget disagreements between Erbil and Baghdad, which have prevented the implementation of the 2021 Federal Budget Law. KRG officials are keen to note that the stipend is not the Region’s budget share.

During 2020, the KRG struggled to pay its employees, missing five monthly disbursements entirely and cutting four others by nearly a quarter. Government employees had their pay cut by twenty-one percent during the first six months this year.

Workers were paid in full in July for the first time in more than a year. The KRG began distributing public sector salaries in full on August 25, even before receiving the transfer from Baghdad.

The salary cuts have had a significant effect on the economy of the Kurdistan Region because of the KRG’s role as the Region’s most important employer.

Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi confirmed, on Thursday, that the central government will continue to send 200 billion dinars to the Kurdistan Regional Government, while noting that there is a shortcoming between Baghdad and Erbil regarding the accounts of the money and the accumulated amounts.

Al-Kazemi said in an exclusive statement to NRT today, (September 2, 2021), that "the central government will continue to send 200 billion dinars to the regional government, and there are continuous meetings during the coming period, the purpose of which is to unify the accounts between the two parties."

He added, "There is a shortcoming between the central government and the regional government regarding the accounts of the money and the accumulated amounts."

Al-Kazemi continued, "The government spent huge funds in order to make the electoral process successful."

He explained, "I will not nominate myself in the upcoming elections, and I will not aspire to head the next government."

[6ly410]

SULAIMANI — Iraqi Prime Minster Mustafa al-Kadhimi told NRT on Thursday (September 2) that the federal government will continue to send monthly transfers of 200 billion Iraqi dinars ($137 million) to Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) until after the October 10 parliamentary elections and the formation of the new government.

Two transfers have been made so far, which the KRG says has allowed it to make full salary payments to public servants for the first time since early 2020.

The failure of the KRG to pay salaries was the source of major public frustration.

The transfers are not part of the 2021 Federal Budget Law, which has still not been fully implemented with regard to the Kurdistan Region, but is the result of a political deal between Kadhimi and KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani.

"There is negligence on both sides and there is a need for a quick solution," Kadhimi said in response to a question from an NRT reporter.

Regarding electoral preparations, Kadhimi said that the government has allocated special funds to ensure that voting runs smoothly, enabling free and fair elections.
