Iraq's oil revenues fell steeply in March to a four-year low, even though countrywide exports held steady at over 3.87 million barrels per day (bpd).
The federal government earned just $2.962 billion, selling its 3.391 million bpd of oil exports at an average price of $28.18, according to the Oil Ministry* — down by $2 billion compared to February's revenue, and less than half of January's.
