The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Sunday, that no money will be spent to the region before the delivery of oil imports and border crossings, regardless of the favoritism between the central government and the region, pointing out that the region's allocations in the 2021 budget have not yet been resolved.

A member of the Financial Committee, Abdul Hadi Saadawi, said in a press interview, "The negotiations have not resulted in any agreement so far about the proportion of the Kurdistan region in the 2021 budget."

He added, "The House of Representatives in general and the Finance Committee in particular decided not to courtesy of the region at the expense of the central and southern governorates in determining the percentages and allocations in the 2021 budget."

"So far, no money has been spent to Kurdistan," Saadawi said, stressing that the council will stand against disbursing any sums of money to Kurdistan before handing over oil imports and border crossings, even if the government tries to compliment the region.

The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed, on Sunday, the scenes of dialogue with the Kurdistan region during the past days, stressing that data transparency is the basis for solving problems.

"There is positivity in the dialogue with the negotiating Kurdish delegation, and we asked the delegation to display the data to find out where the defects are between the two parties," said Majida Al-Tamimi, a member of the committee.

She added, "The Kurdistan region does not have any budgets, and that is why we called for the need to prepare a budget and final accounts by the region, through which the allocations and actual expenditures will be known, the price of the exported and extracted oil, the number of employees and retirees."

The Vice President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Qubad Talabani, announced in a press conference that Baghdad and Erbil had reached an agreement regarding the region's share of the 2021 budget, and sending the salaries of employees in the region.
