The Iraqi parliament has once again been thrown into turmoil over the general budget law, with a key point of contention being Article 12, which deals with financial arrangements between the central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The session scheduled to discuss the budget law was postponed following a deadlock, as political blocs and the Finance Committee failed to reach an agreement on compensating the KRG for the costs associated with oil production and transportation in the region.
