A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) traveled to Baghdad to negotiate the region's financial rights and oil-related commitments in the 2027 budget. Key issues include the region's share in the budget, oil revenues, and salary payments. The KRG demands a 14.14% share based on the 2024 census, while Baghdad offers 12.70%. The KRG also seeks a clear mechanism for transferring funds and ensuring the inclusion of employees' salaries and basic entitlements. Meanwhile, a group of Iraqi MPs supports Prime Minister Ali Al-Zidi's stance against blackmail and political pressure from the KRG. President Masrour Barzani confirmed ongoing negotiations but no final agreement yet.
