R.SODKHUU 5 Chief Executive officer MONGOLIAN STOCK EXCHANGE MONGOLIAN STOCK EXCHANGE 2007 ECONOMICAL REVIEW In 2007 Mongolia achieved high economic growth. Real GDP growth rate was 9.9 percent in 2007. Economic growth has been primarily driven by agriculture (which contributed 3.4 percentage points to economic growth), and services (which contrib- uted 4.3 percentage points). For the preliminary result of 2007, total revenue and grants of General budget amount- ed to 1851.2 billion MNT* and total expenditure and net lending was 1749.2 billion MNT. The General Government budget overall balance was a surplus 102.0 billion MNT. The share of total revenue and grants, total expenditure and net lending and overall balance amounted 40.6, 38.4 and 2.2 percent respectively to the GDP. Current revenue of General Government amounted to 1843.7 billion MNT and current expen- diture 1202.1 billion MNT. Inflation has picked up to reach 15.1 percent, the highest level in the decade. This marked increase in inflation is due to rapid monetary growth, public sector wage increases in the price of some main imports. Rapid monetary expansion continues. In 2007, money supply (M2) increased by 56.3% and currency issued in circulation by 48.5%. Total loans outstanding increased by 68.1% of which loans to private sector increased by 83.3%. Some monetization of the economy is still at work. Compared with other similar developing countries, the level of monetization in Mongolia is low. In 2006 for instance, low income countries have on average a ratio of M2 to GDP of 52 percent. Import growth has remained robust in 2007, led by strong economic growth which translated into sustained demand for consumption and investment goods. As a result, total external trade turnover equaled $4006.3 million and the total external trade bal- ance turned to a deficit of $228.3 million. Compared to previous year, exports grew by 22.5 percent (reaching $1,888.9 million) and imports rose by 42.5 percent (reaching $2,117.3 million). Compared to 2006, tax revenue increased by 33.0 percent or 372.6 billion MNT, taxes on foreign trade increased by 42.2 percent or 0.4 billion MNT, value added tax in- creased by 9.1 percent or 21.9 billion MNT and excise tax increased by 33.6 percent or 33.6 billion MNT respectively. 6 *MNT stands for abbreviation of Mongolian National Tugrug - currency. 1 USD = 1175 MNT MONGOLIAN STOCK EXCHANGE MONGOLIAN STOCK EXCHANGE ECONOMY OF MONGOLIA Basic Indexes ‘93 ‘94 ‘95 ‘96 ‘97 ‘98 ‘99 ‘00 ‘01 ‘02 ‘03 ‘04 ‘05 ‘06 ‘07 1.

Forum planned for early March The Mongolian Economic Forum 2012 will run on March 5-6. At a February 10 press conference, organizers of the forum reported about the preparations and measures for the forum. As of information given by MP S. Oyun; Deputy Finance Minister Ch.Gankhuyag; Ch.Khashchuluun, head of the National Development and Innovation Committee; and P.Tsagaan, senior advisor to the President, the forum that is to be organized for the third time, will run this year under the motto ‘Together for Development’. The forum will have sub-meetings under themes on economic development, social policy and competitiveness, and bring together over 1000 foreign and domestic participants. During the forum, it is planned to publicly introduce Mongolia’s development forum until 2021 issued by Open Society. MP S. Oyun said, “In reality, why isn’t poverty decreasing while the economy has grown over the past five or six years. We believe that issues on how to decrease poverty and what should be done for the fruits of economic growth to improve livelihoods will develop into hot discussions during the forum. For instance, the statistical figures on poverty percentages are very confusing. The National Statistical Committee evaluates the poverty rate at 39 percent while the World Bank says it is lower using a different methodology to evaluate poverty. Therefore,

  • Access to Finance: Developing the Microinsurance Market in Mongolia
    Access to Finance Developing the Microinsurance Market in Mongolia Mongolia experienced a challenging transition from socialist economy to market economy from 1990 onwards.

ADB undertook this technical assistance study to support microinsurance development in Mongolia. The study provides an overview of the development of Mongolia’s insurance market in ACCESS TO FINANCE general and the microinsurance segment in particular, then identifies gaps in the insurance regulatory framework that need to be bridged to expand microinsurance coverage to more households. DEVELOPING THE MICROINSURANCE MARKET IN MONGOLIA About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to approximately two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.6 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 733 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day.

The move to suspend the activity of this company was taken in connection with an agreement of SouthGobi Resources” LLC, the head company of “SouthGobi Sands”, to sell 57.6 percent of shares to ‘Chalco’ company, a state-owned of China until conclusion and notification by the government is issued, said acting MRAM chief M.Ariunbayar. Responding to a reporter’s question at an April 16 press conference pertaining to the “SouthGobi” agreement, M.Ariunbayar stated: “SouthGobi Sands” did not sell their exploration and mining licenses to ‘Chalco’ company. It is believed an agreement on the 57 percent stake sales of “SouthGobi Resources” head company is under discussion. The existing mining law has no regulation about it, but the revised draft law includes a provision saying that licensed business entities engaged in geological and mining activities in Mongolia are obliged to inform the government and get permission on change of ownership or exploitation On April 20, family and friends will gather to pay tribute at S.Zorig’s memorial across from the Central Post Office rights.

Thanks to positive recent political and economic developments, Mongolia is set for spectacular growth which is becoming noticed globally. And backed by its resource rich landscape of world class deposits, Mongolia has been coined the “Saudi Arabia of Coal” with strong parallels to previous natural resource booms around the world. The Mongol Rally Has Literally Just Begun A rally to attract foreign investment, re-develop the stock exchange, re-urbanize much of the population into sustainable housing and reignite a process to unlock much of the country’s wealth in state owned mineral assets, has brought many foreigners rallying into Ulaanbaatar. The potential for discovery of more world class assets such as Oyu Tolgoi has unlocked a wave of financiers and geologists flooding into Mongolia. But quite simply the fascination of the unknown in a country not very well understood but linked with enormous potential has naturally played into human nature and curiosity – root to many visitors arriving in Ulaanbaatar, financiers and tourists alike. Patriotism and History Underpinning Development Modern humans first arrived in Mongolia over 40,000 years ago and battled through waves of liberation, bloodless democratic revolution and one of the harshest climates on earth, now prospering through a young but developing free- market economy.

  • Capital Market Development in Mongolia
    The Northeast Asian Economic eview Vol. 3, No. 2, October 2015 17 Capital Market Development in Mongolia V. Danaasuren* Abstract With its natural resource abundance, Mongolia is considered as an emerging market with potential for economic development. The growing economy needs money which is mostly generated by the financial sector, comprised of monetary and capital markets. This paper aims to introduce the capital market development in Mongolia through an analysis of its role in the financial sector, and its constituents and market performance. Keywords: capital market, Mongolia, development 1. Introduction With its natural resource abundance, Mongolia is considered an emerging market with potential for economic development. The country is one of the fastest growing economies, as its GDP growth ranged between −1.3% (in 2009) to 17.5% (in 2011) and averaged 7.7% over the last 15 years. Although the country has experienced volatile growth, its average growth is comparable to other fastest growing countries.The growing economy needs money which is mostly generated by the financial sector, comprised of monetary and capital markets. Although the capital market provides the majority of the long-term financing for economic development in developed countries, this is not the case in Mongolia. Therefore, the monetary market consisting of commercial banks performs the predominant role in the economy by disbursing the necessary financing for businesses.This paper aims to introduce capital market development in Mongolia through an analysis of its role in the financial sector, capital market participants, market performance and primary capital market performance in Mongolia. 2. Overview of Mongolia Mongolia is home to a population of three million and is a landlocked country with diverse landscapes and vast natural resources.
