Shafaq News / A source in the Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed, on Saturday, that continuous meetings will be held within the next 48 hours to resolve disputes regarding the Kurdistan Region’s share in the federal financial budget for the current year.

The source told Shafaq News, “The Finance Committee will hold continuous meetings with the heads of political blocs within the next 48 hours to settle the region’s share in the budget, including oil revenues, border crossings and airports in Kurdistan.”

He added that the meetings will also decide the number of barrels of oil that the region must deliver to the federal government, whether it is 250 or 450 thousand barrels per day. 

The governments of Baghdad and Erbil reached an agreement to hand over the region’s revenues of 250 thousand barrels per day and half of the other revenues from border crossings and others, in exchange for a share estimated at 12.6 percent of the budget in addition to the payment of the salaries of the Peshmerga forces.

The agreement was included in the draft budget approved by the Iraqi government and sent to Parliament for approval, except for the Shiite political blocs that raised the ceiling of their demands and demanded that the region hand over the revenues of 500 thousand barrels per day of oil to the federal government, in exchange for the region receiving its full share of the budget without any shortage.

He added that “the Finance Committee hosted more than 280 government figures to study the budget, and work is still continuing in this regard.”

Mudloul indicated that “the share of the Kurdistan region in the budget is from the remaining points that have not been decided until now,” noting that “previous governments were favorable to the region and there must be firm solutions that bind the parties to the budget points.”

And on the sums allocated for investment and expenditures, Mudloul said, “The Finance Committee has doubled the amount allocated to the investment plan from 2 trillion dinars to 4 trillion, while it reduced a lot of expenditures.”

He expected that “the House of Representatives will vote on the budget early next week,” pointing out that “there will be hosting of the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Planning and Finance in the House of Representatives in a meeting that includes the leaders of the blocks before the budget is presented and voted on.”

Earlier, a member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, MP Muhammad Al-Baldawi, confirmed, on Saturday, February 06, 2021, the possibility of resorting to a majority vote on the 2021 Budget Law, in case the problems regarding it with the Kurdish delegation were not resolved.

Al-Baldawi said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), “The Kurds are committed to giving Baghdad 250 thousand barrels per day, and this is contrary to what was stipulated in the borrowing law, which is the delivery of all oil exported from the region to the SOMO company, as well as Kurdistan’s refusal of the numbers confirmed for its employees in the Ministry of Finance. Not to mention the file of financial returns, as these three problems are controlling the situation. ”

He added that “building the budget and entitlements should be far from political courtesies, and the distribution of wealth equally to all Iraqi provinces.”

And that “the draft budget law may be delayed in resolving all its points by a week or 10 days in the event that the problems with the Kurdistan region are resolved,” indicating that “the choice of voting by the majority will proceed according to what guarantees justice and fairness between all Iraqi components and provinces.”

The source told Al-Maaloumah Agency: “After the regional government’s inability to reach an agreement on fixing the region’s share of the budget, in light of the insistence of a group of political forces to hand over Kurdistan all its oil and financial revenues, the regional government has joined the United States of America in the mediation line.”

He pointed out that “the Kurdish leaders asked the Americans to mediate with Baghdad and pressure it, in order to agree to hand over the region to its share of the budget, for fear of major disturbances and demonstrations in the cities of Kurdistan, especially in light of the economic crisis and the great suffering of the citizen, as a result of not receiving salaries for many months “.
