Speaking at the graduation ceremony in Duhok, Barzani highlighted a broad reform agenda in Kurdistan aimed at 'improving the livelihoods of our people and ensuring sustainable economic growth.' He noted that the US visit resulted in the signing of several agreements with leading American energy companies, adding, 'These agreements will create high-quality job opportunities and stimulate a culture of innovation and investment in the Region.' 'Kurdistan is undergoing an economic transformation not solely dependent on oil, but focused on diversifying key sectors such as agriculture and banking,' he said, pointing to infrastructure initiatives, including efforts to improve water distribution and the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund to protect the future of coming generations. The Kurdish PM announced continued progress on the Runaki Project, aimed at delivering stable, long-term electricity supply, alongside the launch of 'Hesabi' (My Account), the Region's first digital banking initiative designed to promote financial inclusion and transparency.

Iraq's president, PM discuss Kurdistan funding crisis
Shafaq News/ On Saturday, Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani met in Baghdad to review national developments and government programs. The Presidency's media office stated that the meeting focused on the political and economic situation in the country. Both sides stressed the need to resolve financial disputes between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government per the constitution, the federal budget law, and a recent ruling by the Federal Supreme Court. They also underscored the importance of passing the long-delayed oil and gas law to regulate resource management between Baghdad and Erbil. According to the statement, Rashid and al-Sudani emphasized the need to strengthen national unity and promote security and social stability across Iraq. The Baghdad-Erbil dispute over federal salary payments has escalated after the Iraqi government suspended funding, accusing the KRG of withholding oil and non-oil revenues. The KRG countered that Baghdad is using salaries as political leverage and violating court rulings. The standoff coincides with a Kurdish delegation's visit to Washington, where investment deals with US firms stirred controversy. The US State Department urged a swift resolution, calling it key to investor confidence and reopening the Kirkuk–Ceyhan pipeline.

EXCLUSIVE: Baghdad to release KRG salaries as one-time loan
Shafaq News/ Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani will approve May salary payments for public employees in the Kurdistan Region, provided the funds are issued as a temporary federal loan, a source told Shafaq News on Saturday. The disbursement, expected midweek, would fall outside the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)'s formal budget allocation, the source explained, describing it as a one-off intervention. 'A second condition requires forming a joint committee between Baghdad and Erbil to address the salary backlog, with a framework agreement targeted before Eid al-Adha.' The move follows growing political and diplomatic pressure on the federal government to resolve the long-running fiscal dispute with the KRG. Kurdish political parties will convene today in Erbil to assess the financial crisis, and a KRG delegation is scheduled to visit Baghdad on June 1 to resume talks with Iraqi officials.
