Iraqi Parliament’s finance committee submitted the draft of the Federal Budget Law to Parliament’s presidency to set the date for the voting session, Iraqi sources told Asharq Al-Awsat.
Meanwhile, a delegation from the Kurdistan region is expected to arrive in Baghdad on Tuesday to complete discussions between the two sides on contentious issues, including the region’s financial share in the country s federal budget.
Parliamentary sources said that the draft law, which was handed over to Parliament, has not addressed the provisions regarding the Kurdistan region s share.
