ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraqi President Barham Salih arrived in the Kurdistan Regional capital Erbil on Tuesday evening at the head of a delegation sent to discuss oil, the budget, and territorial disputes – hot topics that have long caused ruptures between the semi-autonomous region and the federal government.

Delegations have shuttled back and forth between Erbil and Baghdad in recent months as relations between the two continue to improve after hitting their lowest ebb in late-2017.

Erbil and Baghdad have formed committees for talks on the joint administration of the disputed territories, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)’s share of the federal budget, and the touchy subject of independent oil sales.

President Salih, accompanied by Iraq’s Kurdish finance minister, Fuad Hussein, was met at Erbil International Airport on Tuesday afternoon by Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani.

During his stay in Erbil, Salih will hold talks with his Kurdistan Region counterpart, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, and Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) chief Masoud Barzani to further mend fences.

Fuad Hussein will meanwhile meet with the KRG’s finance ministry to discuss the budget issue.

Baghdad cut the KRG’s share of the budget from 17 percent to zero in 2014 in response to the Region’s independent sale of oil. Coupled with a costly war with the Islamic State (ISIS) and the collapse of global oil prices in 2016, the Region was plunged into a financial crisis.

The KRG’s share of the budget was reinstated in 2018, but at the reduced rate of roughly 12 percent. 

Under the 2019 budget, the KRG agreed to send 250,000 barrels of oil per day to Iraq’s state oil marketing body SOMO in exchange for its share of the budget. Although Baghdad has delivered funds to Erbil’s central bank, the KRG is yet to send a single barrel of oil. 

Omed Sabah, Chairman of the KRG Council of Ministers, told Rudaw the Ministry of Finance has prepared a report outlining the KRG’s requirements from the 2020 federal budget.

“The KRG finance ministry aims to discuss the demands of the KRG from the 2020 federal budget and hand over a detailed report on this case,” Sabah said.

Mohammad al-Halbousi, Iraq’s parliamentary speaker, is also scheduled to visit Erbil on Wednesday to discuss the federal budget.

Jutiar Adil, the KRG spokesperson, told Rudaw the regional government is optimistic about the talks with the Iraqi delegation.

“In general, the Iraqi delegation is in Erbil to discuss the unresolved issues between Erbil and Baghdad,” Adil said. “There are very positive talks between Erbil and Baghdad, and more talks are underway to reach an agreement with the Iraqi government.”

Safin Dizayee, head of the KRG foreign ministry, visited Baghdad on Sunday for talks with top Iraqi officials including President Salih.

Dizayee told Rudaw the new positive atmosphere in meetings between Erbil and Baghdad officials means the two sides can tackle points of conjecture “more efficiently”.

Erbil-Baghdad relations have generally improved since Adil Abdul-Mahdi became prime minister in late 2018. 

As an independent technocrat with historically good relations with the Kurds, Abdul-Mahdi has presided over a thawing of the tensions between the two, which reached their peak under his predecessor Haider al-Abadi.

Already strained relations collapsed on October 16, 2017 when Iraqi forces and Iran-backed militias launched an offensive into the disputed territories, forcing the Kurdish Peshmerga to withdraw.

Improvements in the relationship were noted by Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the UN Special Envoy to Iraq, in her recent quarterly briefing to the UN Security Council.   

Hennis-Plasschaert told the Security Council she is hopeful the two sides can resolve their differences now that both governments have been formed.

“This has created a positive momentum to advance of negotiations between Baghdad and Erbil, also demonstrated by the establishment of a High-Level Joint Committee,” she said.

“And I cannot deny: the expectations are high, in particular on key files – including Kirkuk, Sinjar, and revenue sharing,” she added.

The failure of both sides to cooperate on security in the disputed territories has contributed to a resurgence of ISIS, which has exploited the security vacuum between Peshmerga and Iraqi lines – particularly in the hotly disputed and oil-rich province of Kirkuk. 

In late August, Iraq’s Interior Ministry reached an agreement with its KRG counterpart on visa issuing powers and on the lifting of entry fees imposed on Iraqis entering the Kurdistan Region.  This followed the suspension of internal customs duties.

The basic solution to the issue of unemployment is the employment of the real sectors, namely, industrial, agricultural, tourism, etc., which is the basis in moving economic rings, so there must be a focus on moving these economic sectors by changing the economic model that exists in Iraq today, the model now is that "It comes from oil, and it pumps the bulk of it in the form of salaries. These salaries turn into demand for imported goods and commodities, so our revenues go to build the economies of other countries instead of moving the pace of the economic situation."
The Governor of the Central Bank, that "can not be laid off people, but the money taken as salaries can be invested inside Iraq through the expansion of the real sector and this will occupy other people, and depends on coordination in trade, investment, tax and customs policies to harmonize with each other to move the situation internally".

Economy News - Baghdad:
Energy expert and former Iraqi Oil Minister Issam Chalabi said that the suspension of Saudi oil supplies by 5.7 million barrels per day - following attacks on facilities belonging to Aramco last Saturday - is the largest ever.
Chalabi reviewed the most prominent historical stations that have seen a halt to global oil supplies:
The tripartite aggression against the Suez Canal in 1956, which also led to the suspension of about two million barrels per day.
2. During the October 1973 war and the Arab boycott, where global oil supplies were disrupted by 4.3 million barrels per day.
3 - When the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, supplies stopped at about 5.5 million barrels per day.
4. The Iran-Iraq war, which began in September 1980 and lasted for eight years, but had its impact for a few months, led to the blocking of about four million barrels per day.
5. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 led to the suspension of oil supplies by 4.2 million barrels per day.
6 - the war on Iraq in 2003, has blocked more than two million barrels per day.
Oil expert Khalis Chalabi stressed that all these incidents led to the rise in prices according to these periods, while markets are awaiting the outcome of these prices after the new attacks on the facilities of Abqaiq and Khurais.
The importance of the Middle East
On the first trading day after the attacks on Aramco's facilities, oil closed up 15%, with Brent crude recording the biggest daily jump in more than 30 years at $ 69.02, before prices fell in early trading on Tuesday.


The Middle East is of vital importance to the global energy and oil supply industry, with 49% of the world's proven oil reserves, more than 33% of global production and 70% of natural gas reserves, according to BP Worldwide.


Saudi Arabia holds the second largest oil reserves of 267 billion barrels, behind Venezuela (303 billion barrels). While OPEC members account for about 80% of proven oil reserves in the world, including 64.5% in the Middle East, according to OPEC reports.

Economy News - Baghdad:
With the United States, Russia and China vying for a foothold in Iraq's oil and gas industry in the north and south, Iraq expressed last week its desire to have one or more foreign partners in the Mansuriyah gas field in Diyala province east of Baghdad.
The writer Simon Watkins, in his report published by the site "Oil Price" US, the reserve of the Mansourieh field estimated at 4.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and is expected to peak production of about 325 million cubic feet per day.
The United States considers encouraging Iraq to improve gas flow to reduce its dependence on Iran as key. For Russia, Rosneft mainly contracted with the Kurdistan region of Iraq in November 2017 to expand gas investments.This means that the assumption that Russia will have power in other parts of Iraq, too, will return to it with much force.
Securing Russia's oil and gas contracts throughout Iraq would allow it to establish invincible political influence across the entire Shia Crescent in the Middle East, from Syria through Lebanon (thanks to Iran), Jordan and Iraq (with Iran's help too), and through Iran itself. , All the way to Yemen (via Iran).
From this base, Russia could effectively challenge Saudi Arabia, the US oil, gas and political ally in the region. Concurrently, China is working on its own agenda with Iran: South Pars in Phase 11 and the West Karon oil fields.
Iraq, like Turkey, has not committed itself to taking a specific side, either Russia or the United States, but changes its alliance at each time in proportion to its interests, and the same applies miniaturely to the field of Mansouriya. In fact, Turkey was a major player in the Mansouriya field until the middle of last year by owning 37.5% of the national oil company "Turki Bitoleri Anonim Ortakligi" ( TPAO ), along with 25% of the company "oil exploration" and 22.5% of the company Kuwait Energy and 15% of South Korean Kogas.
According to a senior figure in the ministry to Oil Price last week, Turki Petolleri Anonim Ortakligi signed the original development of the Mansouriya field in 2011, where the Iraqi Oil Ministry promised it could be trusted to reach peak production within 10 Years at the latest.
It was only natural that Turki Bitoliri Anonim Ortakligi halted all operations in Mansourieh in 2014, after ISIS took control of large parts of the country at the time, but surprisingly, it refused to resume development work in September. When the then Iraqi Oil Minister Jabbar Laibi asked her to do so. There were several subsequent requests from the ministry to Turki Petolleri Anonim Ortakligy to resume work before the ministry canceled the contract last July.
The Iraqi Oil Ministry has made it clear that it needs to exploit the Mansouriya field properly and work to gradually increase production to the overall rate of production of 325 million cubic feet per day, so that it can be used as raw materials to feed the energy sector in crisis.
In summer, energy demand every year exceeds local generating capacity, often resulting in power outages of 20 hours per day in many areas. This imbalance in supply and demand led to Iraq's dependence on neighboring Iran for a large amount of gas and electricity imports, which accounted for about one third of the total energy supply.
During a game of pitting each other against the other for optimal gains, Secretary General of the Iranian-Iraqi Joint Chamber Seyed Hamid Hosseini finally stated that Iran's gas and electricity exports to Iraq are expected to reach $ 5 billion by March 21, 2020.
In the meantime, Russia was very interested in securing gas sites in northern and southern Iraq, which it would eventually be able to transport via massive gas networks and pipelines. Gazprom Neft told Iraqi Oil Minister Thamer Ghadhban that it was "very interested" in playing a role in the Mansouriya field.
The Iraqi source pointed out that "Gazprom Neft" often speaks on behalf of the company "Gazprom" mother in the initial talks, a company developed in the Western style and good management capabilities, while Gazprom Soviet style. "Gazprom Neft has made it clear that it will be interested in other sites such as the Saybah field in southern Iraq," the Iraqi source said.
