Iraq, KRI agree to implement Unified Pension Law No. 9
Shafaq News/ Iraq and the Kurdistan Region have reached an agreement to implement the Unified Pension Law No. (9) for 2014 concerning employee entitlements, the Kurdish Ministry of Finance and Economy announced on Monday.
“The federal and Kurdistan Regional governments reached an agreement in a meeting held on Monday in Baghdad, outlining the mechanisms for implementing the law that regulates employee salary payments in Iraq, ensuring the rights of employees in the Region,” the ministry stated.
