This is not individual stipends from oil…This is the salaries, a share of the excess oil revenues that go to the regions as a whole…These revenues are used to pay government salaries, schools, hospitals, water, etc., etc. throughout the country… The controversy we keep hearing about is with the Kurdistan region as they have felt they were not getting their fair share of the revenues…The IMF clearly stated in its past consultation sessions with Iraq that the GOI must get the salaries to Kurdistan on a regularly timed monthly basis, without delays…I would only guess this would also be a stipulation for the RV to happen.
