The MP for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Hassan Ali, confirmed today, Tuesday, that the share of the Kurdistan region in the 2021 budget is 12%.
Ali said that “next year’s budget needs political consensus with the parliamentary blocs, in order to pass it,” adding, “especially with regard to the region’s share of 12% of the 2021 budget.”
He continued, “I think that the budget will pass even though it is currently going through a phase of discussions and natural objections.”
He added that “the region’s share of the budget amounts to 13 trillion dinars annually / including the salaries of employees and the Peshmerga and the budget allocated for development projects, which is a good percentage.”
He indicated, “We need the unity of the Kurdish position in Baghdad, including the understandings with the political blocs before they are put to the initial vote in the House of Representatives.”
The Deputy Prime Minister in the Kurdistan Region and the head of the Kurdish negotiating delegation, Qubad Talabani, announced yesterday, Monday, to inform the federal government that Erbil is ready to deliver 250 thousand barrels of oil to SOMO, in the event that the 2021 draft budget in its current form is voted in Parliament.
