Today, Sunday, the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Wafaa Muhammad, revealed the Kurdistan region’s share of the financial budget for the next year, while explaining the impact of the differences between Barti and Alekti on the nature of the negotiations with Baghdad.
Muhammad said in an interview with Al-Maalouma agency, “There is a near agreement between the Kurdistan region and the central government regarding the share of the Kurdish component of the financial budget law for the year 2023.”
He added, “The region’s share will be 14%, and it was almost certainly agreed upon during the last Kurdish delegation’s visit to the capital, Baghdad.”
Regarding the impact of the differences between the Parti and Alekti on the negotiations with the central government, the leader explained, “The differences between the Union and the Democratic Party are within the Kurdistan region and will not affect the understandings and negotiations with Baghdad.”
Earlier, the former member of Parliament, Fadel Al-Fatlawi, suggested delaying the approval of the financial budget law for more than a month, and while he attributed this to reasons, including the differences between Baghdad and Erbil, he confirmed the existence of understandings within the “dark rooms” to reach an agreement.
And speculation continues about the share of the Kurdish component of the federal budget, especially with the frequent visits of the Kurdish delegation to Baghdad in an attempt to increase their share and obtain as much political wishes as possible.
