The Iraqi Council of Ministers is to convene today, chaired by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and is expected to discuss the financial rights of Kurdistan Region public sector employees, the new oil agreement, and the State Council report on non-oil revenues of the Kurdistan Region, while set to resolve several issues and make important decisions.

Yesterday, a tripartite agreement was signed between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Natural Resources, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, and oil companies on oil exports, which have been halted since March 25, 2023.

“If the tripartite agreement between Erbil, Baghdad, and the companies on the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region is signed by Tuesday, the problem of non-oil revenues will be easy to solve, because the main problem is oil,” Iraqi parliament member Karwan Yarwais told Channel8.

The Federal Council of Ministers is due to convene its regular session today, Tuesday, with a number of issues on the agenda, foremost among them the issue of salaries for public employees in the Kurdistan Region, following the agreement recently struck on oil exports.

After months of disputes, Baghdad and Erbil have reached a landmark arrangement with international companies to resolve the long-running suspension of oil exports through Türkiye’s Ceyhan port. Under the terms, foreign companies will receive payments in the form of service fees rather than a direct cash share of oil revenues.

The agreement is expected to restore flows gradually, beginning with about 100,000 barrels per day and rising to 300,000 barrels per day once technical and logistical arrangements are finalised with Ankara. The Kurdistan Region has committed to producing 230,000 barrels daily, of which 50,000 will be retained for domestic consumption, while the remainder will be handed over to the State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) for export.
