Data from the Ministry of Finance regarding the implementation of the federal budget up to the end of September 2026 showed that Iraq’s total revenues amounted to approximately 52.822 trillion dinars, while oil revenues constituted about 76% of the state’s total resources.
According to data seen by Shafaq News Agency, oil revenues amounted to about 40.202 trillion dinars, compared to non-oil revenues of about 12.620 trillion dinars, equivalent to about 24% of total revenues.
The data showed that Iraq’s total revenues amounted to about 52.822 trillion dinars, compared to total expenditures of about 85.680 trillion dinars, which means recording a gap between revenues and expenditures of about 32.858 trillion dinars.
Employee compensation topped the list of current expenditure items with a value of approximately 46.135 trillion dinars, followed by social welfare expenditures with approximately 20.572 trillion dinars, and then grants, subsidies, interest and other expenses with approximately 7.601 trillion dinars.
Expenditure on goods supplies amounted to approximately 3.007 trillion dinars, and on services supplies to approximately 203.9 billion dinars, while expenditure on asset maintenance amounted to approximately 57.7 billion dinars.
Thus, the budget implementation data reveals the continued widening gap between the state’s revenues and expenditures, as expenditures exceeded total revenues by about 32.9 trillion dinars during the first nine months of 2026, coinciding with the continued dependence of public finances on oil revenues, which constituted about three-quarters of total resources.
On an annual basis, the revenues of the Iraqi federal budget declined to about 52.822 trillion dinars up to September 2026, compared to about 91.168 trillion dinars for the same period in 2025, a decrease of about 38.347 trillion dinars, or 42.1%.
This decline was a result of a decrease in oil revenues to about 40.202 trillion dinars, compared to about 81.749 trillion dinars in the corresponding period of 2025, a decrease of 50.8%, while non-oil revenues increased to about 12.620 trillion dinars, compared to 9.420 trillion dinars, an increase of 34%.
