Kurdistan Finance Delegation Begins Talks in Baghdad to Boost Non-Oil Revenues and Resolve Customs Disputes

10/29/2025

A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Finance has arrived in Baghdad and is scheduled to begin meetings today, Wednesday, October 29.

Delegation Members
The delegation includes Kamal Raouf, Director General of Kurdistan’s Customs, and Kamal Tayeb, Director General of Taxation, along with a number of legal and administrative advisors.

Main Objective of the Talks
According to available information, the primary goal of the discussions is to increase non-oil revenues. This comes as Iraq remains heavily dependent on oil income, which has recently seen a decline in prices.

Reorganizing Border Revenue Collection
One of the key topics on the agenda is how to restructure customs duties at border crossings in a way that boosts non-oil revenue for both Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

Discrepancies in Customs Definitions
Another major issue under discussion is the significant 80% discrepancy in customs definitions between Erbil and Baghdad, which has created serious challenges in unifying customs procedures. (LINK)
