Baghdad has exported nearly $8.6 billion in crude oil since last year's invasion of Iraq, the US-led authority governing Iraq said.
The Coalition Provisional Authority had deposited a total of $8.59 billion in its Development Fund for Iraq as of last Thursday.
Of the total oil proceeds put in the fund since it was set up on May 28th, 2003, $319 million was deposited during the week ending last Thursday, compared with $416 million the previous week, according to the provisional authority's website.
Under a May 2003 UN Security Council resolution, the Coalition Provisional Authority is required to deposit all the proceeds of Iraqi oil exports into the fund.
The resolution was intended to ensure Iraq's secretive US-led civil administration was not engaged in any dubious practices in marketing the oil and was using the proceeds for reconstruction.
