The government will be able to release the salaries for September, a source says

Shafaq News / An official source in the Central Bank of Iraq assured today, Tuesday, the employees that they can cover their salaries for September and the following months.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "the balance of the Ministry of Finance at the Central Bank of Iraq is sufficient to cover the salaries of state employees for September and subsequent months".

An informed source revealed earlier today, Tuesday, that the Ministry of Finance is unable to release the employees' salaries for the current month due to lack of cash.

The source told Shafaq News Agency this morning that the Ministry of Finance is awaiting the approval of the budget to proceed with the process of disbursing the salaries of employees and self-financing departments for September.

He indicated that the ministry needs an additional 3 trillion dinars for it to distribute salaries and that the suspension comes in coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq.
