On November 12, the House of Representatives approved the fiscal deficit law, despite the withdrawal of the Kurdish blocs in objection to determining the share of the Kurdistan region from the total actual spending “on the condition that the Kurdistan region be committed to paying the amounts of oil exported from the region and in the quantities determined by the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company SOMO exclusively. And non-oil federal revenues, and in the event of non-commitment by the region, the expenditures may not be paid to the region, and the violator of this text bears the legal responsibility.
Yesterday, Thursday, the Kurdistan Regional Government delegation went to Baghdad to discuss the outstanding problems between the two sides, including the fiscal budget for 2021 and the region’s share in it.
