| Foreign Exchange Reserves of Mongolia Increases to USD 4 Billion |
|  |
Foreign exchange reserves of Mongolia increased to USD 4 billion in this September, an increase of 48 percent over the same period in 2022.
Minister of Economy and Development Ch. Khurelbaatar reported to the Cabinet the results since the adoption of Resolution No. 362 on Measures for Increasing Foreign Currency Reserves on October 5, 2022, and measures to be taken in 2024.
In accordance with the Resolution, extensive measures have been taken to boost exports and transportation, set up an automatic system for customs clearance and tax collection, and improve control and mining product exchange. The exports reached USD 11 billion by September 2023, higher by USD 2 billion compared to the same period of the previous year.
Also, coal exports of Mongolia reached a historical record of 47 million tons, which is 28 million tons more than in the same period of the previous year. As part of improving customs control, automatic systems for customs and tax clearance have been introduced. Under the goal of open and transparent trade of minerals, a mining products exchange was introduced, and by October 2, a total of 7.5 million tons of coal and 101 thousand tons of iron concentrate were publicly traded.
As part of improving transportation and export operations, mining companies were authorized to issue category “C” permits for regular freight transport across the border. As a result, by the end of September 2023, the foreign exchange reserves of Mongolia reached USD 4 billion 124 million, an increase of 48 percent or USD1.3 billion compared to the same period of 2022.
During a briefing to the press Minister of Economy and Development Ch. Khurelbaatar said, “We reflected in the Bill on State Budget to export 60 million tons of coal next year and we will work hard to achieve this goal.”

| ADB Approves USD 100 Million Loan to Strengthen Mongolia’s Fiscal, Financial, and Economic Resilience |
|  |
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a USD100 million loan to strengthen Mongolia’s fiscal, financial, and economic resilience.
“Mongolia is vulnerable to volatility in commodity markets and other exogenous shocks because of its dependence on mining revenues,” said ADB Principal Public Management Specialist Hans van Rijn. “To shore up against the impact of this volatility, the Strengthening Fiscal, Financial, and Economic Resilience Subprogram 1 supports reforms to strengthen tax revenue mobilization, debt management, banking sector stability, and the role of the private sector in economic development.”
Mongolia’s economy experiences repeated boom-and-bust cycles. The current growth trajectory is the third major expansionary economic cycle since 2008, underpinning the importance of implementing and accelerating structural reforms to build resilience.
The program supports tax revenue growth through structural improvements in domestic tax administration and increased alignment with international tax treaties around profit shifting and the automatic exchange of information.
Mongolia’s debt sustainability would be enhanced through the introduction of a risk-based approach to debt management, the strengthening of local capital markets, and increased fiscal transparency. The program would also improve finance sector stability and resilience by boosting banking sector supervision and regulation, enhancing nonperforming loan resolution, and promoting financial consumer protection. Finally, reforms would strengthen the upstream environment for private sector development through relevant legal reforms, support for public–private partnerships, and enhance the performance of the Development Bank of Mongolia.
