09.17.2022 - 17:12

Qubad Talabani, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, criticized what he called "the 43-57 equation" in distributing imports between the administrations of Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, which caused an increase in the budget deficit of Sulaymaniyah even in the payment of employee salaries.  

  

  

Talabani said during his participation in a special investment forum attended by the correspondent of "Nas Cord" (17 September 2022) that "the region suffers in general from a budget deficit, but the deficit in Sulaymaniyah is greater due to the disparity in the distribution of imports and budgets compared to Erbil and its dependencies."  

  

Talabani added that "the people in charge of the system of the two administrations in the region during the previous years agreed to distribute the imports between the departments of Sulaymaniyah and Erbil by 43% for Sulaymaniyah and 57% for Erbil, and the division is still in effect until now, including the funds allocated for salaries, although salaries are a sovereign matter."

The crisis of salaries for Kurdistan employees is renewed between Baghdad and Erbil

Erbil

Once again, the crisis of salaries for the employees of the Kurdistan region is taking its toll on the economy of the region. The advance of the 200 billion dinars per month agreed upon with the government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi, has not arrived for months, which is what prompts the Kurdistan government to work with the available oil revenues to meet the need, which is what The dispute with Baghdad deepens.

Muhammad Zangana, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, told UTV that “what was agreed upon regarding the 200 billion dinars was from me with inaction. Out of 6 months, only two months were paid, and in the past months, the Kurdistan government was able to pay salaries from oil revenues.”

As the complex economic relationship between Baghdad and Erbil casts a heavy shadow on Kurdistan’s employees, the chronic disputes have become more complex, as Erbil sees it, accusing Baghdad of politicizing the issue and the judiciary, in the context of its rejection of the Federal Court’s decisions and preventing the region from disposing of its oil.

“The process is still complicated,” Nabil Jabbar Al-Ali, an economist, told UTV. There are special reasons that push the Kurdistan region to keep production and contracts, and also the federal government sees that the matter is a central issue, and that it has to deal with companies in the region as it deals with other companies in Iraq.”

The number of the region's employees, according to Kurdish sources, amounts to one million and 200 thousand employees, while their total monthly salaries amount to 700 million dollars, although the amount and number are also subject to dispute between Baghdad and Erbil.
