Shafaq News / On Sunday, the Parliamentary Finance Committee called on Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to invest in Iraq’s foreign relations, to obtain an exception from OPEC Plus’s decision to reduce oil production.
Member of Parliament, Ikhlas Al-Dulaimi, told Shafaq News, “The prime minister should take advantage of Iraq’s good relations with major countries to exclude him from reducing oil production that was approved by OPEC to secure financial imports that save Iraq from the current financial crisis and deficit.”
Al-Dulaimi said, “Iraq faces two options to get out of the salary crisis, either to agree to borrow and to inflict heavy losses on the state, or to face popular pressure and great resentment due to the lack of insurance and regularity of salaries.”
Iraq is currently suffering from the difficulty of distributing the salaries of employees and retirees as a result of the global drop in oil prices on which the federal budget depends, by 90%.
Despite the assurances of the Iraqi Ministry of Finance successive, that salaries are “fully insured,” it is awaiting the legislation of the borrowing law by Parliament in order to be able to release salaries that are delayed months ago.
