More positive momentum—but still key hurdles remain! Here’s the latest update on the critical Oil & Non-Oil Revenues Dispute between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region, a major sticking point for Iraq’s financial future and the RV timeline:

🔹 Parliamentary Finance Committee Reassures Progress

A high-level government committee is actively following up on implementing the revenue-sharing agreement with Kurdistan, especially regarding oil revenues and paying salaries of Kurdistan employees from the general budget. This shows the government is serious about moving forward.

🔹 Kurdistan President Affirms Unity & Salary Solution Coming

Nechirvan Barzani, Kurdistan’s President, confirmed that the salary crisis in Kurdistan will be resolved soon. He stressed, “Baghdad is our capital,” and emphasized Kurdistan remains an integral part of Iraq. He also mentioned ongoing talks with oil companies aiming to resume oil exports through the regional pipeline. This is excellent news — no talk of separation, just cooperation.

🔹 Non-Oil Revenues Remain a Major Dispute

Talks between Baghdad and Kurdistan over non-oil revenues are ongoing and contentious. Baghdad demands 100% of these revenues go to the federal government, but Kurdistan only agrees to pay 50% of customs and border revenues. Negotiations continue with no final agreement yet.

🔹 Why This Matters for the RV

For Iraq to become the economic powerhouse it aims to be, ALL revenues — oil and non-oil — must be collected and managed centrally by Baghdad. Without resolving these disputes, financial stability and RV progress will remain stalled. This saga is one of the key US conditions that still need to be met.

🔑 In short:

Progress is being made, but key negotiations continue. Resolution of revenue-sharing disputes is vital to Iraq’s financial future and the RV timeline. Stay tuned as this critical chapter unfolds!
