A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Muhammad Ibrahim, explained, on Monday, the reasons for postponing the presentation of the budget on the agenda of today's session, pointing out that there is almost a consensus between Baghdad and Erbil on resolving the budget.

Ibrahim said in a statement to "the information", that "the budget was postponed to tomorrow's session, Tuesday, due to the presence of some technical measures, as well as in order to complete some aspects related to it and then submit it to a vote."

He added, "There is near-consensus between Baghdad and Erbil to pass the budget, as the postponement of its presentation in Parliament is to give more time about the agreement between the two sides on the contentious articles in the budget."

He stressed that "Article 11 of the budget is the focus of the dispute between the two governments, especially with regard to the region's dues since 2004 and the quantities of oil exported across the region, as the issue is still revolving around political dialogues." End / 25 n
