Shafaq News / Samir Horami, the spokesperson for Qubad Talabani, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region (KRI), stated on Thursday that with the distribution of salaries in Iraq, 618 billion dinars will be sent to the region to finance the salaries of employees and workers in the private sector in Kurdistan.

Horami told journalists today that the Iraqi Financial Supervisory Committee visited KRI and verified the salary lists, finding no issues as previously rumored.

He further elaborated that the amount of 618 billion dinars sent from Baghdad to KRI does not specify the salary for any particular month because the regional government has not made any decisions regarding it. It is likely to be discussed in the upcoming session of the Council of Ministers.

This comes as the spokesperson for the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) announced that the 618 billion dinars sent from Baghdad will be used to fund salaries for the current month of January.

The federal government was scheduled to send the 618 billion dinars today to finance the salaries of employees and workers in the public sector in the region. However, due to administrative procedures, the transfer of the amount has been postponed to the following week.
