Data: Civilian and Military Retirees in the Kurdistan Region
The KRG salary delay is now centered around an increase of over 50 billion dinars in total salary expenditure. This rise, the KRG says, is primarily due to the equalization of retirees' salaries with those in the rest of Iraq, as mandated by a Federal Court ruling.
Below are the details on the number of retirees and how the equalization process has impacted the total salary budget:
Total Number of Retirees: 277,541
Cost of Equalizing Retiree Salaries with the Iraqi National Standard: 176,208,000,000 Iraqi Dinars
Budget for Retiree Salaries Prior to Equalization: 122,000,000,000 Iraqi Dinars
Additional Funds Required for Equalization: 54,208,000,000 Iraqi Dinars
