A Kurdish Regional Government said the autonomous region received $243 million from Baghdad in the first payment of an oil revenue agreement reached in 2010. The agreement called for Baghdad to sell Kurdish oil and transfer about half of the revenues to the north.

A KRG statement said the first payment was for sales from the export of more than five million barrels of oil in February and March.
