Draft amendments to Law on Investment submitted to Speaker www.montsame.mn

On June 21, MPs Kh.Gankhuyag and D.Unurbolor presented draft amendments to the Law on Investment to Speaker G.Zandanshatar.
With the current Law on Investment in place, a foreign company has to choose its status as a business entity with foreign investment or a representative office prior to starting its business in Mongolia. Furthermore for entities, no less than 25 percent has to be owned by a foreign company through an investment of no less than USD 100 thousand. The MPs considered that the threshold is unnecessary for establishing a business entity with foreign investment. However, it is more suitable to specifically state the minimum amount of investment in Mongolia in the case where an investor and their family applies for a residence permit.
The aforementioned requirement for the minimum amount of investment is likely to cause difficulties for those interested in making further investments after investing a small amount initially. As for representative offices, they are not permitted to run business activities despite there being no restrictions regarding investment. Thus, they developed the draft amendments in a way so that:
• foreign and domestic investors are considered as the same, re-defining the term, ‘business entity with foreign investment’,
• the requirement for a minimum investment of USD 100 thousand is removed for entities with foreign investment, and added the requirement for the case in which an investor and their family apply for a residence permit,
• and developed the corresponding necessary amendments to be made for the Law on State Registration of Legal Entities.

Endline Public Perception Survey for Mining, Communities, Water Management Project by IFC Mongolia underway www.montsame.mn

The Independent Research Institute of Mongolia (IRIM) is conducting “Endline Public Perception Survey for IFC Mongolia Mining, Communities & Water Management Project” commissioned by International Finance Corporation (IFC).
In 2013, IRIM implemented a baseline survey among the communities in the South Gobi region to understand the following issues: access to water, use of water and opinions on mining and water management. From 2014 to 2018, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) implemented project aimed to increasing the participation of mining companies in local water management and improving local people's understanding and attitudes towards water.
In this endline perception survey, representatives of 15 soums in South Gobi region will participate to identify the impact of the project, to determine the progress made by mining companies in fulfilling their commitments to protect water and to assess improvements of local community perception of the mining impact on water management. In quantitative research, 1,067 people of South Gobi region will involve, and will be conducted with local Environmental specialists and representatives of mining companies.
Objectives are to conduct representative population survey of all fifteen soums in the SG region to assess local peoples’ perception of the mining industry’s impact on the local water supply, compared with the results of the 2013 community perceptions survey to assess any changes and/or improvements in community perceptions of the mining industry’s impact on the local water supply and identify whether there are any changes in community perceptions IFC project activities (training, mine site visits, etc.), mining company actions (e.g. community outreach and engagement) and/or government initiatives.

Khanbogd Cashmere LLC shipped 20 tons of cashmere that meet international quality requirements and stardards to Italy on June 2 and the shipment arrived in Italy today, on June 22.
Ambassador of Mongolia to Italy Ts.Jambaldorj handed over the product to Falconeri S.R.L and Lanificio Luigi Colombo S.P.A companies.
Khanbogd Cashmere has previously been exporting its cashmere to Italy in 90 days through China and this time, by land, the cashmere reached its destination in 20 days.

Mongolia’s inflation soars to 6.2 percent www.news.mn

Mongolia’s national consumer inflation reached 6.2% in May, up by 0.7% m/m, according to the country’s national statistics office.
Inflation was 5.6% in April.
The increase was affected by the increased price of consumer goods such as imported alcoholic beverages and tobacco (2.4% y/y), medicine (up 4.5% y/y), and a 5% price increase in housing, water, electricity, gas, and fuels y/y in 5M21.
The prices of imported goods and services increased by 14.3% y/y in the first five months, mainly due to border restrictions from China because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“From 5M20 to 3M21, the domestic inflation rate fluctuated between 2-3%, falling below the central bank’s target. Analysts say this indicates a decline in economic activity during that period. During the pandemic, the government regulated price reductions for some goods and services. On the supply side, changes in the prices of government-regulated goods and services contributed to higher inflation, according to the central bank. In addition, commodity prices have been rising sharply with the easing of lockdown measures and while the economy recovers,” the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Mongolia notes in their newswire.

Fitch Assigns Mongolia's Proposed USD Bond a 'B' Rating www.fitchratings.com

Fitch Ratings - Hong Kong - 21 Jun 2021: Fitch Ratings has assigned Mongolia's (B/Stable) proposed US dollar bonds a 'B' rating.
Proceeds from the proposed bonds will be used to repurchase a portion of the existing bonds maturing in 2022 and 2023 through a cash tender offer.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The rating is in line with Mongolia's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'B' with a Stable Outlook.
Fitch affirmed Mongolia's Long-Term Foreign- and Local-Currency IDRs on 25 May 2021.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
FACTORS THAT COULD, INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY, LEAD TO NEGATIVE RATING ACTION/DOWNGRADE:
- External Finances: Evidence of heightened external stress, for example as a result of restricted access to external financing sources or a marked decline in foreign reserves.
- Public Finances: Failure to reduce the budget deficit and stabilise the government debt/GDP ratio.
- Structural Features: Political instability sufficient to significantly disrupt strategic mining projects or FDI inflows.
FACTORS THAT COULD, INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY, LEAD TO POSITIVE RATING ACTION/UPGRADE:
- Public Finances: Narrowing of the budget deficit consistent with putting government debt/GDP on a firm downward path.
- External Finances: The accumulation of larger foreign-currency reserve buffers and the implementation of a debt-management strategy that lowers refinancing risks and improves external debt sustainability.
- Macroeconomic: A resumption of stronger economic growth and export trends without the emergence of imbalances, and the maintenance of a favourable business environment conducive to robust FDI inflows.
BEST/WORST CASE RATING SCENARIO
International scale credit ratings of Sovereigns, Public Finance and Infrastructure issuers have a best-case rating upgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a positive direction) of three notches over a three-year rating horizon; and a worst-case rating downgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a negative direction) of three notches over three years. The complete span of best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAA' to 'D'. Best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings are based on historical performance. For more information about the methodology used to determine sector-specific best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings, visit https://www.fitchratings.com/site/re/10111579.

Interview: China's transformation "not possible without the visionary leadership of CPC," says former Malaysian envoy www.xinhuanet.com

KUALA LUMPUR, -"China has made very strong strides in its development and I think China has gone through a very strong transformation, which is not possible without the visionary leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC)," a former Malaysian ambassador to China has said.

"I think the Party has played its role and brought up China to what it is today, a strong country economically, and has many friends in the world. China's success has contributed to the region and to the world," Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan, who served as Malaysia's ambassador to China in 1998-2005, told Xinhua in a recent interview.

Serving as the president of Malaysia-China Friendship Association now, Majid still works to promote friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

The veteran diplomat noted that China has adopted pragmatic diplomatic policies and "not only contributed economically but also in peace and stability" for the region and the whole world, he said.

"For us in Malaysia and also for the region, we are happy because China's diplomacy has always given priority to the region, to countries in Southeast Asia," he said.

Majid said that with China's development, the world would welcome the country to share its experience and resources.

The Belt and Road Initiative is "very timely," which could bring greater connectivity, he said. "This will facilitate globalization, expedite internationalization and exchanges."

China's successful containment of the COVID-19 pandemic and its early economic recovery also demonstrated the successful leadership of the CPC, said Majid.

The success reflects the discipline and strong enforcement of the Chinese system, he said.

From his own experience in China and his interactions with the Chinese people, Majid said he could feel that the CPC leadership is well appreciated by the Chinese people.

"Speaking to the Chinese people themselves, they are very thankful that the Party has created social stability in China and also for themselves to feel the economic power, which created this self-confidence in China vis-a-vis the world," he said.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Majid said, has highlighted how the world is a shared community and that global cooperation is essential to overcome such common challenges.

"COVID-19 has shown how a small virus has actually frozen us globally, our movement, our activities, (and) our interaction," said Majid, "so the only way to combat this is through cooperation, through the sharing of common interest, I think that is the way forward."
