IMF Board to again consider approving Mongolia US$5.5 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) on May 24 after repeal of mandatory FX deposit clause www.nambc.org

 
The 24-Member Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund has scheduled another review of Mongolia's request to implement the US$5.5 Extended Fund Facility (EFF) at its next meeting on May 24.The request was removed from the IMF board’s April 28 agenda because of concerns about the mandatory FX banking deposit requirement contained in an amendment to the revised banking provision, the so-called Resolution 29 or Subclause 11 requirement, which parliament subsequently repealed.
 
Finance Minister B. Choijilsuren recently told a journalist that the financing package within the EFF will be around US$5.5 billion, of which US$2.2 billion covers an extension of the swap line between the People's Bank of China with the Bank of Mongolia, plus an IMF loan of US$440 million with a 15 year term at less than 2% interest. In addition, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will grant a loan of US$900 million, of which US$600 million will cover the state budget deficit and US$300 million to fund programs and projects. In addition, the World Bank pledged US$600 million with less than 2% interest for a 15 year term, of which Mongolia promised to apply US$440 million to the state budget deficit in 2017-2019, and Japan and South Korea are expected to together provide loans of US$1.3 billion, some of which may be in the form of Ex-Im Bank-style funding for purchasing Japanese and Korean goods and services.
 
Minister Choijilsuren said implementation of loan funds earmarked for programs and projects will await completion of already-started ministry project feasibility studies, slated to be finished by the second quarter of 2017, with disbursement anticipated during 2018-2019.

FRC reports only two percent of Mongolians are actively involved in the stock market www.theubpost.mn

 
Out of the 92 percent of Mongolian citizens eligible to participate in the stock market, only two percent are actively participating in trading, reports the Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC).
 
When former Prime Minister Su.Batbold’s administration provided each Mongolian citizen with 1,072 shares in Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi, every citizen who received shares had an account with the stock exchange automatically registered in their name.
 
In recent years, the FRC has been making efforts to develop the stock market with a project being carried out with the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Project for Capacity Building of the Capital Market in Mongolia. The project has been carried out for the past three years.
 
The purpose of the project is to improve market confidence by developing an active primary market at the MSE by increasing the number of IPOs released for unlisted Mongolian companies with sound fundamentals, as well as promoting dual listings for those listed on overseas stock exchanges. The FRC and JICA believe that the project will also enhance the financial literacy of the general public.
 
Financial and accounting requirements, legislative differences, and the limitations of the Mongolian market all serve as obstacles for the dual listing of Mongolian companies. As of right now, there are no companies listed on the Mongolian Stock Exchange (MSE)that are also listed on another stock exchange.
 
Mongolia International Capital Corporation (MICC) hassuggested that relatively small companies could launch a collective IPO. Once listed on the MSE for a year or more, the possibility of dual listing will open up for companies, says MICC. They also noted that Mongolian companies should look for being dual-listed on stock exchanges with less stringent requirements, such as South Korea’s KOSDAQ.

China successfully mines flammable ice from the South Sea www.mining.com

 
After nearly two decades of research and exploration, China has successfully mined so-called “flammable ice” in what authorities qualify as a major breakthrough that may lead to a global energy revolution.
 
The element, a kind of natural gas hydrate, was discovered in the area in 2007, but this is the first time the country is able to successfully extract combustible ice from the seabed, in a single, continuous operation on a floating production platform in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea, about 300km southeast of Hong Kong, state-run Xinhua news agency reports.
 
Methane hydrates, where molecules of methane gas are trapped in a lattice of ice crystals, exist in conditions of low temperature and high pressure. According to Xinhua’s report, one cubic metre of flammable ice is equal to 164 cubic metres of natural regular gas.
 
During the mining trial done at a depth of 4,153 feet, engineers extracted each day around 16,000 cubic metres of gas, with methane content of up to 99.5%, Minister of Land and Resources Jiang Daming said.
 
The new energy source, while revolutionary, is not exempt of risks. The release of methane into the atmosphere as permafrost melts is regarded for those who believe in climate change as one of the worst potential accelerator mechanisms for it. Methane hydrate is also hard to extract, which makes the cost of producing it high.
 
Test drillings have also taken place in the US, Canada and Japan, with the latter announcing earlier this month that it was successful at producing the natural gas on the pacific coast and will continue mining it for around three to four weeks.
 
Sources of methane hydrate are so large that the US Department of Energy has estimated the world's total amount could exceed the combined energy content of all other fossil fuels.

India to build 10 reactors in big nuclear power push www.rt.com

 
In the biggest expansion of the country’s nuclear power industry, the Indian government has announced plans to construct ten heavy water reactors. India currently operates 22 nuclear plants, with a capacity of 6,780 megawatts.
The new reactors will have more capacity and will be in addition to those expected to get online by 2022.
 
"A total of 7,000 megawatts will be added. It will help produce clean energy," said India’s Power Minister Piyush Goyal.
 
The planned nuclear units will generate business worth $11 billion and create more than 33,000 jobs, according to the authorities.
 
India is one of the world's largest consumers of electricity mostly generated from coal. In recent years, the country has started ramping up its nuclear power capacity.
 
The Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom is constructing India’s Kudankulam nuclear power plant (NPP) as part of a deal signed between Moscow and New Delhi in 1998.
 
At the moment, Russia is the only country cooperating with India on nuclear energy.
 
The first reactor at the Kudankulam NPP is among the most powerful in India and meets the latest safety requirements. The second generator is planned to start operating shortly.
 
Three years ago the sides agreed to construct the NPP’s second stage, including the third and fourth reactors. They also decided to develop a roadmap for cooperation in nuclear energy which envisages the construction of 15 nuclear reactors in India, including at the Kudankulam site.
