Oil smuggling continues through the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) border crossings, with hundreds of oil tankers transported daily in containers, NRT reporters said Tuesday, August 26, 2025.
On the issue of oil, a source told NRT that exports have risen to 250,000 barrels per day.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is reluctant to comply with its agreements with Baghdad and hand over oil revenues, due in large part to continued smuggling. According to the source, the revenues generated largely benefit senior officials from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
