Information / Baghdad..
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Al-Karawi, confirmed today, Monday, that there are revenues worth 4 trillion dinars from the region that are not officially proven and require urgent government auditing.
Al-Karawi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The non-oil revenues in the region, estimated at 4 trillion dinars,
“It is not officially confirmed by the federal government,” he said, noting that “there are official correspondence from OPEC confirming oil smuggling operations from the region amounting to approximately 286 thousand barrels per day.”
He explained that “these operations directly affect revenues, as the region’s continued violations have reduced the amount of oil exported from OPEC to 200,000 barrels per day, which has caused a decline in oil revenues and a deficit in the general budget.”
He stressed “the necessity for the federal government to take this data into consideration when calculating the total revenues of the region, calling on the government to implement the decisions of the Federal Court and adhere to the provisions of the 2023 budget to achieve justice in distributing resources among the Iraqi governorates in a fair and equal manner.”
