Baghdad - Mawazine News
The Kurdistan Democratic Party's parliamentary bloc announced, on Tuesday, that the region is committed to agreements with the federal government, calling on the government to implement the four paragraphs that pertain to the Kurds in the budget law.
The bloc’s representative, Diyar Berwari, said in an interview with the official newspaper, “The agreement between the federal government and the region continues according to the agreed approach and within the four budget paragraphs that are within the dues and the means of communication are available,” noting that “the agreement concluded between the region and the central government to deliver 200 billion dinars.” It is still running in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement until the end of this year.”
He added that "the agreement will continue because it took four months of discussions and meetings until its controls were agreed upon, in addition to the two parties' desire to communicate to implement the existing agreement."
Berwari continued, "The government must implement the four paragraphs of the budget law that pertain to the Kurds, and there are some political forces that confirm that the region must be clear in its mechanisms for all, and it is unreasonable for the budget provisions to be implemented in a way other than its legal framework, so we believe that the opposition will be present, but We believe that the government is able to implement the law and not evade its implementation." 
He explained that "the agreement continues despite the presence of the opposition, and it is not targeting the region, but rather targeting the federal government, in addition to the problems that occur between the political blocs that affect the general atmosphere."
Berwari stressed that "the region will not add articles to the law or demand that they be added, which are sufficient with regard to oil and non-oil federal imports and the settlement of old debts." Ended 29/A 4

Kurdistan oil forces Iraq to reduce production

 

Oil field worker

Reports Economy News - Baghdad It seems that the Kurdistan region's oil export file has gone out of its local form to be a reason not to grant the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) any increase in its production, as happened with a number of the organization's countries at its last meeting on July 18th.   Since the approval of the general budget of Iraq last March, which provided for coordination between the governments of Baghdad and Erbil regarding the sale of oil from the region and under the supervision of the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company “SOMO” in exchange for providing the region’s budget, which includes the salaries of its employees and the allocations of its government departments, but no progress has taken place in this regard. The file is nothing but some repeated calls from political blocs that this file should be subject to the central government.   It is clear that the current Iraqi government, which has inherited complex and major problems and is preparing to organize elections, does not seek any escalation with the region regarding this file in any way, and for this reason it has left the freedom to move in the export of its oil, and left the file to be found by the new government. After the parliamentary elections scheduled for the tenth of October (October) next.   Iraq's revenues without the region   On the other hand, the National Oil Marketing Company "SOMO" stated that the total revenues and exports of crude oil during the first half of this year amounted to 33 billion dollars, noting that the region's oil exports are outside these revenues.   The Associate Director General of the Oil Marketing Company for Crude Oil and Gas Affairs, Ali Nizar Faeq, told the official Iraqi News Agency (INA), "The sales of crude oil during the first half of this year, extending from its beginning until the end of last June, amounted to 33 billion dollars. And at a monthly rate of about 5 billion and 500 million dollars," he said, noting that these sales were for Basra light and heavy oil from the southern ports, as well as from the northern port of Kirkuk crude oil exported through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.   77 million barrels were sold from the region   Nizar added that "sales from the Kurdistan region, which are outside the exports of the Oil Marketing Company, and are directly exported by the region, amounted to about 77 million barrels of oil during the first half of this year, and it is likely that its revenues will be around 4 billion and 800 million dollars."   Although most of the political forces did not attack the region regarding the oil export file because they were preoccupied with preparations for the upcoming parliamentary elections, it returned to the fore again with a series of accusations of favoring the region at the expense of the rest of Iraq. The new criticisms came after the Iraqi government transferred an amount of 200 billion Iraqi dinars (137 million dollars) as aid to the region outside the controls set by the 2021 budget, which stipulated that a budget be allocated to the region in exchange for overseeing its oil export and the delivery of part of the revenue from its border crossings.   constitutional error   On the other hand, a member of the Parliamentary Economy Committee, Mazen Al-Faili, believes that the federal government has repeated the same mistake and constitutional and moral violation that it committed in the previous month, by releasing an amount of 200 billion dinars, up to (137 million dollars) to the Kurdistan Regional Government, despite the lack of commitment of the Kurdistan Regional Government. The region shall hand over even one barrel of oil to the federal authority.   Al-Faili added in a statement, "Despite the delivery of the entire oil product to the southern provinces, its investment budget does not exceed this amount for each province, which is paid monthly to the region," noting that the region exports its oil product without referring to the federal authority at prices lower than its market average. world, which causes a double loss for the Iraqi state.   Al-Faili added that this monthly expenditure for the region, if it was distributed monthly to each of the southern governorates, would have contributed to solving many problems of unemployment and poverty, supporting the disadvantaged classes, and defuse the ongoing social crises in those governorates.   Most of the Iraqi production of crude oil that is exported by the Iraqi government comes from the province of Basra, and then the provinces of Maysan, Dhi Qar, Wasit and Kirkuk.   sold legally   On the other hand, Kurdish MP Salim Hamza considers that the oil of the Kurdistan region is being sold legally and is conducted with the knowledge of the Baghdad government, and its sale has been approved within the Iraqi state’s financial budgets law, indicating the region’s eligibility to dispose of the current oil fields.   Hamza adds, "The issue of selling Kurdistan's oil and agreeing on prices and the mechanism for concluding contracts that the Kurdistan government has with international companies that buy the region's oil must be dealt with legally between the federal government and the region," noting that this file needs agreement and everyone's effort, not Especially since the region's oil is less expensive than the rest of Iraq's oil because it is of lower quality."   Selling with the knowledge of the Baghdad government   He confirms that the region's oil is officially sold, and that the clause to sell the region's oil is enshrined in Iraq's budget law, which gives the sale of oil legitimacy and with the knowledge of the Baghdad government, and that the Iraqi government has complete information about the sale mechanism. Hamza continues, "If the Kurdistan Regional Government sends all the funds to Baghdad from airport imports, border crossings and oil resources to the federal government, the federal government must release the salaries of the region's employees, and this is what the federal government has not committed to," noting that the region gets the same The money comes from the export of his oil. Therefore, the Kurdistan Regional Government has the right to dispose of the current oil fields. As for the old oil fields, it must be in coordination with the federal government.   And about the funds that the federal government sent to the Kurdistan Regional Government, amounting to 200 billion dinars (137 million dollars), Hamza shows that these funds are complementary to the salaries of the employees of the Kurdistan Region, and it is a good support to end their problem, which has worsened after 2014, the Iraqi government calls it an “advance.” It is usually not monthly, but is delivered to the region as needed and does not depend on a specific timing.   Iraq is required to reduce its production   The failure of the Kurdistan region to comply with the “OPEC +” agreement led to the demand of “OPEC” for Iraq to reduce 6 million barrels per month from its production.   The Associate of Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) Ali Nizar said, "Iraq's share of oil production is 3,950 thousand barrels per day within the (OPEC +) agreement," noting that "Iraq's exports are 2,950 thousand barrels per day to 3 million barrels."   He added that "the Kurdistan region's lack of commitment to the (OPEC +) agreement contributed to the accumulation of compensations on Iraq," noting that "Iraq is required to reduce 6 million barrels per month because of this matter."   Nizar explained that "Parliament granted legitimacy to the Kurdistan region's non-compliance with the (OPEC +) agreement." Iraq's general budget approved last March did not include a specific paragraph obligating the Kurdistan region to a specific production ceiling or to adhere to the "OPEC +" agreement that determines Iraq's share.   Within Iraq's share   In turn, Hamza Al-Jawahiri, a specialist in the oil field, points out that the Kurdistan region's oil is counted within Iraq's share in "OPEC +".   Al-Jawahiri adds that the (OPEC) considers the region’s oil as part of Iraq’s share in (OPEC), and thus what Iraq exports is approximately 3.5 million barrels per day,” pointing out that the oil sold leads to a loss for Iraq, given that the contracts in Kurdistan are partnership contracts. Therefore, its profits are low.   He added that the oil companies operating in the region take up to 48 percent of each barrel produced, in addition to the fact that the sold oil has a lower price than international oil because it is sold outside the framework of the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO).

Oil, OPEC and the region

Posted 4 hours ago

news source / Sky Press

 Dr. Bilal Al-Khalifa

We talked a lot on the subject of the federal general budget and the conditions for the region to hand over its share of the budget until after it had implemented the conditions mentioned therein, and among those conditions is the region’s commitment to produce 450,000 barrels per day and the delivery of SOMO 250 thousand barrels per day, despite the fact that the region’s production exceeds 600,000 barrels and that the region did not Baghdad knows the amount of oil produced or the oil exported, and the numbers are nothing but leaks from some Kurdish politicians.
A few days ago, we heard from the media that the Iraqi government transferred an amount of 200 billion Iraqi dinars (137 million dollars) as aid to the region outside the controls set by the 2021 budget, which stipulated that a budget be allocated to the region in exchange for overseeing its export of its oil and the delivery of part of the revenue from its border crossings.

We did not hear a position on that from the members of Parliament, nor from the large blocs that made the decision to object to the federal government and hold it accountable against this procedure, which violates the general budget law.

Even the critics of the corruption of the previous governments are now as silent as the graves in making a single note against this government, and my great reproach to the people of the south and the center for their silence because of those who steal their money to rebuild the areas of others and neglect their own.
On the other hand, SOMO explained that “sales from the Kurdistan region, which are outside the exports of the Oil Marketing Company, and directly exported by the region, amounted to up to 77 million barrels of oil during the first half of this year, and its revenues are likely to be around 4 billion and 800 million. dollar.

On the other hand, the National Oil Marketing Company "SOMO" stated that the total revenues and exports of crude oil during the first half of this year amounted to 33 billion dollars, noting that the region's oil exports are outside these revenues.

Thus, the ratio of the region's revenues to the revenues obtained by the federal government is 14.5% of government revenues. This means that it receives higher amounts of money than is allocated to it in the federal general budget.
I did not mention an important point, which is that these revenues are oil only, as there are other revenues, including taxes, fees, customs and others. If those revenues were collected, the total would reach more than that percentage.
The injustice that is inflicted on the south by the federal government and the region, can be summarized thus, with regard to the oil file only:
1 - It is taking the funds of the center and the south from the federal general budget by the region without contributing even one dinar to it.
2 – Its export of crude oil takes from the central and southern share of the quantity specified for it by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), as the Kurdistan region’s failure to comply with the “OPEC +” agreement leads to the demand of “OPEC” for Iraq to reduce 6 million barrels per month from its production. It should be noted that the average price of a barrel for the month of July is $72, so the region's failure to export oil costs Iraq $432 million for the month of July only. This is in addition to the amount transferred from the federal government to him, which is 137 million, so the total is 569 million dollars per month.
3 - To control the decision issued to the center and the south, despite the fact that the federal government is unable to transfer the simplest employee in the region.
4 - If this amount had been utilized, it would have been sufficient to construct a plant with a capacity of approximately 1,000 megawatts. Thus, within one year, we would be sufficient to generate electric power

He pointed out that "the sums handed over to the region are illegal, but they are the prerogatives of the Prime Minister and bear political aspects within the framework of the vision of some political blocs that allied with the Kurdish side and are trying to moisten the atmosphere and satisfy the Kurdish side before the elections and the formation of the next government."

SULAIMANI — Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Representative in Baghdad Faris Isa said on Saturday night (August 14) that the federal Council of Ministers has decided to send 200 billion Iraqi dinar ($137 million) to the Kurdistan Region for this month.

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.

Isa told NRT that the federal Ministry of Finance, relevant offices, and the KRG representation in Baghdad have been informed of the transfer.

He said that the money is expected to be transferred to the Region on August 25, adding that the transfer will continue until the end of this year and is guaranteed.

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. It is unclear whether public servants will receive a full salary in August or beyond.

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.

This is probably a dumb question but is this part of the HCL??

Not dumb at all. It appears to be part of the HCL to me. If the region sends oil to Baghdad, I would think that would confirm HCL completion. Im not 100% sure tho.

Kurdistan is supposed to hand over oil and Baghdad is supposed to hand over money.  Neither wants to be the first to "hand over" anything.  I don't think they trust each other.  Come on folks, this is your countrymen!  Maybe this will be the start of the trust.  It sounds like they may need to unite the country to keep the bad guys in Afghanistan at bay.
