ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Major General Hoshmand Rasheed, Peshmerga Deputy Commander for Administration and Supply, confirmed to Kurdistan24 on Monday that US support for the Kurdistan Region Peshmerga forces remains steadfast.
“The US financial and logistical assistance, including the provision of weapons and other military equipment, is continuing as per the prescheduled plans,” Major General Rasheed revealed.
He explained that the concerns about the continuation of US financial support is due to the increasing number of Peshmerga forces in the brigades benefiting from US assistance.
Two weeks ago, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Peshmerga announced that financial aid from coalition forces for December 2024 would be distributed to Peshmerga forces after the completion of financial and accounting procedures by the General Directorate of Budget and Programs.
Currently, 37,730 Peshmerga members and officers are receiving assistance through the “MyAccountR21; initiative, a significant step by the KRG in modernizing the ministry's financial processes. |

https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/28012025 ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is in ongoing meetings with Iraq's finance ministry to discuss budget issues and oil exports, with the two set to meet again on Friday."The federal finance ministry sent a delegation to the Kurdistan Region. The delegation is still there and they will finish in a few days. Our second meeting is on Friday," Hussein said during a conference at the Naram-Sin Foundation for Dialogue on Monday.Erbil and Baghdad have held several meetings to discuss amendments to Iraq's previously approved 2025 budget law and address obstacles to paying the Kurdistan Region's civil servant salaries.During the conference, Hussein told Rudaw's Ziyad Ismail that a KRG delegation met with Iraq's finance ministry at his house to discuss pending salary and oil export issues."We had a good understanding. The [federal] finance ministry wanted some information," he said.The KRG has struggled to pay the salaries of its civil servants on time and in full for a decade due to a financial crisis that further deteriorated after the oil export halt. Erbil is reliant on its local income and federal budget funds.Changes in the law, which include an increase in the amount producing companies make from producing oil in the Kurdistan Region, could lead to the resumption of Kurdish oil exports.In November, the Iraqi government approved a proposal to amend articles from the federal budget to authorize compensation to companies operating in the Kurdistan Region for oil production and transportation costs, setting the rate at $16 per barrel. The proposal has had its first and second reading in the Iraqi legislature but has not been passed yet.The move was welcomed by the KRG and producing oil companies.Hussein said that the federal government and the KRG, along with international oil companies (IOCs), have reached a written agreement. He added that Iraq's Council of Ministers has approved the agreement and sent it to parliament for inclusion in the budget law.According to Hussein, the proposed text would pave the way for the resumption of oil exports if it is incorporated.Oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline have been suspended since March 2023 after a Paris-based arbitration court ruled in favor of Baghdad over Ankara, saying the latter had breached a 1973 pipeline agreement by allowing Erbil to export oil independently since 2014.Hussein added that during his meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Sunday, they discussed the Kurdistan Region's oil exports."I told him that it was related to the budget law. If parliament votes on it, then oil would be exported again," he said. |
https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=52335 Oil Minister Hian Abdul Ghani announced on Monday that the government has submitted a draft law to parliament on the receipt of the region's oil and the payment of $16 per barrel as an advance."There is a project submitted by the government to parliament that is being studied on the receipt of the region's oil and paying $16 per barrel as an advance," Abdul Ghani said in a statement reported by the official news agency and seen by "Economy News".He added, "This continues until the real cost of gas investment from the region's fields that work for oil production are re-examined, and in return the region delivers at least 250 to 300,000 barrels per day with the aim of exporting them through the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company."Regarding oil prices, Abdul Ghani stressed that "oil prices range from 70-80 dollars per barrel, and we hope that they will remain within these levels or increase slightly in order to provide the necessary financial resources to balance the Iraqi state."The official spokesman for the government, the name of Al-Awadi, denied the statement of the spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, the claim that the representative of the federal government in the House of Representatives blocked the amendment of the article on the procedures for resuming oil exports from the region in the budget."We affirm the importance of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq's commitment to the provisions of the articles of the Federal Budget Law, including the delivery of financial revenues, both oil and non-oil, to the federal government, in accordance with what is stipulated in the law and the decision of the Federal Court," Al-Awadi said in a statement.He pointed out that "commitment to these procedures is a necessary step to solve the problems related to this file and strengthen cooperation between the two sides, and the federal government hopes from the esteemed House of Representatives to speed up the approval of the amendment according to the text approved by the Council of Ministers, in the interest of Iraq, all of Iraq." |

Controversially I still prefer big dogs ramblings to the never ending sold tomorrow chat. How someone can consistently post 15 times a day that the company is secretly sold, sweeping takeover etc is beyond me. Every month they move the goal posts to next month. It's the real commitment to utter delusion I can't reconcile. |

All my lifeI've been kissinYour left titCos your right one's missingOh boy |
Have all you gullible suckers dismissed the possibility that Baghdad and Turkey may have already agreed that they will extend the ITP contract, as they are able to do?
BP will surely have/will agree terms that will ensure they are able to get the quality oil in Kirkuk to Ceyhan otherwise why would they be interested in ramping up production there!!! And its well known that Baghdad want to revive exporting a top quality blend in order to receive top dollar.
Just a mull? |

Rudaw Digital The Iraqi government has submitted a bill to parliament to receive $16 per barrel of oil from the Kurdistan Region, the Iraqi Oil Minister said. He said the Kurdistan Region must deliver at least 250,000 to 300,000 barrels of oil per day. "The Iraqi government has sent a bill to parliament, which is currently under consideration, which is related to receiving oil from the Kurdistan Region and paying $ 16 per barrel as a sulfur," Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani told official Iraqi media on Monday ." "This loan will continue until the real costs of investing in gas in the Kurdistan Region's fields, which are used for oil production, are reviewed," he said. In return, the Kurdistan Region must deliver at least 250,000 to 300,000 barrels of oil per day for export through the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO). "Oil prices are between $70 and $80 a barrel. We hope to stay at this level or rise slightly in order to provide the necessary financial resources for the Iraqi state budget," Abdul Ghani said. Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told Rudaw's Ziad Ismail in Baghdad on the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) oil issue between the oil companies, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Federal Government "We sent it to parliament to amend the budget law. If this text is approved, it means that the budget will change and oil can be exported again. The budget amendment bill, which had been read in the first and second readings, was blocked by Shiite lawmakers in the lower Iraqi provinces and was not voted on. "Unfortunately, there was a disagreement in the last session of parliament. I had a meeting with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Sudani today. We discussed this issue and the prime minister will soon meet with all faction leaders to reach an agreement before the session," Hussein said If this text is included in the budget law, then the oil of the Kurdistan Region will be exported again" "I told him that it is related to the budget law. If the parliament votes on it, then the oil will be exported again," he said ". |
