Tishwash: After the oil agreement, an expert details a “conditional” mechanism to unify the fuel price between the center and the Region
Gasoline in Kurdistan is 3 times that in Baghdad
An expert in the oil field, Bahjat Ahmed, stressed the need for fuel prices in the Kurdistan region to be identical to their counterparts in other Iraqi provinces. A proposal to send a Kurdish delegation to the capital after the tripartite annual budget was approved.
In his interview with (Baghdad Today), the oil expert confirms that Baghdad is obligated to send oil derivatives to the region after the recent agreement on Kurdistan’s share and the commitment of the regional government to hand over its oil.
According to Ahmed, after “reaching an agreement between the two parties, fuel prices in the region should be similar to what they are in Baghdad and other provinces, with the price of one liter of gasoline being 450 dinars.”
He notes that “the federal government has stopped sending oil products to Kurdistan since 2015, after budget disputes between the two parties.”
More than a year ago, the region witnessed a qualitative boom, with fuel prices doubling, which led to an increase in internal transportation fares, as the price of one liter of regular gasoline reached 850 dinars, and the improved one to 1,000 Iraqi dinars.
As a result, waves of anger formed, calling on the Kurdistan government to reduce prices, but the latter has not responded yet. link
