The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) spent more than 87.5 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $66B) between 2019 and 2025, with over 65 trillion dinars (about $49B) allocated to salaries, the Finance Ministry said on Saturday.
More than 14 trillion dinars (about $10.6B) went to operational spending, while electricity generation and investment projects each accounted for more than 4 trillion dinars (about $3B).
The figures exclude unpaid salaries, pension-related deductions, outstanding payments to contractors, and some electricity generation costs settled through financial offsets due to cash shortages.
