In its latest issue, Meed Economic Magazine points out that the Kurdistan Region is deprived of the money that Baghdad owes to pay its employees and this is the main reason behind the tension between Erbil and Baghdad.
Referring to Baghdad's anger over the Kurdistan Region's oil industry's independence from Iraq, the journal noted that Iraq has repeatedly cut off the Kurdistan Region's share of Iraq's public budget for the past six years, largely due to the Kurdistan Region's attempt to export oil independently.
Referring to the non-payment of salaries for several months in the Kurdistan Region, the economic magazine Mead also stated that the local government of the Kurdistan Regional Government is unable to provide the monthly salaries of the employees without the monthly assistance of Baghdad.
