Taif Sami: The Regional Government Has Not Handed Over Its Oil Revenues To The State Treasury
Local | 10/13/2024 Mawazine News - Baghdad The Ministry of Finance announced on Sunday that it will release 400 billion dinars from the governorates’ allocations, while indicating that the fluctuations in oil prices caused a problem in achieving revenues.
The ministry said in a statement received by Mawazine News, that “Minister of Finance Taif Sami appreciated the support of the parliamentary finance committee, its chairman and members, for the ministry’s work, while she presented a detailed presentation on the ministry’s steps to address the budget deficit and the problem of lack of funding.”
Minister Sami said, according to the statements, that “the fluctuations in oil prices caused us a problem in achieving revenues,” calling on “the finance committee to help the ministry with regard to the problem of non-oil revenues with the regional government, as it has not handed over its oil revenues to the state treasury since the Federal Court’s decision to pay the salaries of Kurdistan employees.”
She added, “The salaries of the region’s employees are estimated at 13 trillion dinars, as all that the Kurdistan Regional Government has paid is 320 billion dinars from its non-oil revenues.”
She pointed out that "financial allocations for the ration card and the food basket were secured, sufficient for the next six months, and that the improvement in oil prices was naturally reflected in the financing, as we will release today more than 400 billion dinars from the governorates' allocations." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=255947
