Iraq’s federal government is giving the administration of the semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region more money to allow it to pay salaries. Sunday’s decision was announced three days after Prime Minister Masrour Barzani of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) visited Baghdad to ask for more funds to be released to the region, which is suffering a shortfall in revenue.
