Information/Baghdad..
Informed Kurdish sources revealed on Tuesday that the implementation of the financial agreement between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) continues to stall due to the latter’s refusal to hand over non-oil revenues to Baghdad.
Sources told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the regional government is not prepared to hand over oil and non-oil revenues to the federal government, contrary to the agreement signed between the two parties,” noting that “the Kurdistan Regional Government has refused to allow the relevant federal government committees to review local non-oil revenues.”
She added, “The region expressed its willingness to hand over 120 billion dinars of local revenues for this month alone, but refused to commit to transferring the amount for future months, claiming the sum was too large.”
The sources confirmed that “the regional government delegation that recently visited Baghdad officially informed the federal government delegation that it was not allowed to audit non-oil revenues,” explaining that “the government delegation submitted a detailed report to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, which included the obstacles hindering the implementation of the agreement with the region.”
