SULAIMANI — A source from Iraq’s Ministry
of Finance told NRT on Sunday (March 27) that the sum of 200 billion Iraqi
dinars has been transferred from Baghdad to the Kurdistan Region as part of the
budget deal between the federal government and Erbil.
The source added the available revenue
would be enough to distribute the salaries for a month and a half to employees
in the Region.
A source from the ministry announced on
Friday the oil revenue from February was returned to the ministry from the
finance’s treasury.
The government is planning to distribute salaries
starting from the beginning of April, according to information obtained by NRT.
A spokesperson from the government assured
its commitment to distributing salaries on the 25th of each month
but the government has failed to keep to this deadline a number of times.
Despite the value of a barrel of oil
exceeding $120 a month, the government still faces delays in distributing
salaries and some city employees have yet to receive their salaries for the
month of February.
