Mongolian cashmere exported to Italy by land www.montsame.mn

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.
10 of the 20 tons of cashmere holds the Mongolian Noble Fibre certification mark, which certifies that the product is made with 100 percent high quality wool and cashmere sourced from Mongolia, meets Mongolian and international standards for textiles and woven products, and fully complies with quality standards in environmentally-friendly manufacturing.
As 60-70 percent of Mongolia’s cashmere is currenly exported after primary processing, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry and the Mongolian Wool and Cashmere Associaiton are working towards reducing and eventually stopping export of washed cashmere and increasing production and export of value-added products.

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.

The U.S. Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) awarded the $5 million (nearly 15 billion MNT) CPC grant through a competitive process to World Vision, which is serving as the lead implementing partner for the CPC.
The Asia Foundation and four Mongolian NGOs – The Gender Equality Center, Talita Asia, Unbound Mongolia, and Beautiful Hearts – are also being engaged as implementing partners under World Vision’s leadership. These organizations are working collaboratively with Ms. L. Nyamgerel, Head of the Task Unit of Crime Prevention and Coordinating Council, and members of the Mongolian National Sub-Council on Trafficking in Persons throughout the four-year partnership.

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."

Southern Mongolia Ready For Green Development — ADB Dialogue Event www.indiaeducationdiary.in

Manila: The southern region of Mongolia has potential for sustainable growth if investment for green development, renewable energy, and tourism are matched with large infrastructure projects in energy, transport, and extractive sectors, ADB and stakeholders in Mongolia discussed at an event today. They were attending a provincial-level regional conference organized by ADB with the Government of Mongolia to hold a dialogue on rural development challenges and on-site project experiences.
“Capturing operationally relevant knowledge is crucial for our efforts to strengthen sustainable partnership impact in Mongolia,” said ADB Country Director for Mongolia Pavit Ramachandran. “We hope these outreach events will provide an opportunity for our stakeholders to share innovative practices and lessons from project design and implementation so we can replicate successful practices in our future operations.”
The first in a series of four provincial-level regional conferences to be held under the 30th anniversary commemoration of the ADB–Mongolia partnership covered southern provinces—Umnugobi, Dornogobi, Dundgobi, and Gobisumber—and started with virtual site visits to highlighted projects to showcase their positive impact on the economic and social development of the province. Following video visits, high-level representatives of project executing agencies, including the state secretaries of the Ministry of Construction and Urban Development, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, and the Ministry of Health, commended ADB’s long-standing cooperation, highlighting the timeliness of operations to increase the capacity of social and urban services in the region where the number of residents is steadily increasing.
The second part of the event focused on the region’s sustainable development and the need for ADB’s support. A panel discussion with government representatives highlighted key areas of ADB’s engagement in the region, including trade facilitation, logistics, connectivity, and job creation. Governors of the four provinces discussed development priorities, policies for ensuring socially and environmentally sustainable growth in the region, and ADB’s role in supporting rural development.
The ancient Gobi desert stretches across the southern region, which recently became the center of Mongolia’s mining boom. Large mineral deposits and new mining projects brought increased investment, jobs, and fiscal revenue to the region. The Russia–PRC transport and trade corridor runs through a part of the southern region, making Dornogobi province home to the country’s busiest border crossing point.
ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 68 members—49 from the region.

Erdene poised to drill new Mongolia gold target www.resourceworld.com

Erdene Resource Development Corp. [ERD-TSX; ERDI-MSE] said Friday June 18 it has commenced drilling on the Ulaan target located 350 metres west of the company’s Bayan-Khundii gold deposit in Mongolia.
“We are excited to test the potential of the southern portion of the Ulaan license area following the acquisition of 100% of the property in late 2020,” said Erden President and CEO Peter Akerley.
Erdene shares advanced on the news, rising 2.8% or $0.01 to 37 cents. The shares are currently trading in a 52-week range of 71 cents and 28.5 cents.
The Bayan Khundii mining license covers 2,309 hectares and includes the Bayan Khundii and Altan Nar deposits which are located 16 kilometres apart. Together these deposits comprise the Khundii Gold Project.
An independent feasibility study for the Bayan Khundii Gold project envisions a high-grade open pit mine, producing 63,500 ounces per year at an average grade of 3.71 g/t gold over seven years, using a carbon in pulp processing plant. Production is expected to begin in early 2022.
Erdene holds a 100% interest in the Ulaan license. The northern portion is situated along the western boundary of the Khundii license, while the southern area is approximately 350 metres west of the Bayan Khundi gold deposit, separated by the Khuren Tsav license held by the Mongolian government-owned gold company Erdenes Alt LLC.
Based on Erdene’s drilling near the western Khundii license boundary, satellite imagery, geophysical analysis and surface alteration, the hydrothermal system that hosts the Bayan Khundii gold deposit is expected to extend west, southwest of the Bayan Khundii deposit across the Khuren Tsav license and along the southern boundary of the Ulaan license.
Drilling results along the western boundary of the Khundii license intersected thick sequences of gold mineralization, locally beginning at surface, with the highest grades at 100 to 160 metres depth. Highlight intersections from drilling near the border include 7.0 metres of 18 g/t gold in BKD-220; 5.0 metres of 25 g/t gold in BKD-265, and 28 metres of 2.4 g/t gold in BKD-334. The latter is located to the north and outside the reported resource at Bayan Khundii.
Erdene said it has established a series of drill targets in the southern portion of the Ulaan license. It said initial drilling will be wide spaced, testing targets over an approximately 2.0-kilometre strike length to a maximum depth of 350 metres.
The target area is underlain by the same lithologic units associated with the Bayan Khundii gold deposit.
The Bayan Khundii gold resource includes 521,000 ounces of 3.16 g/t gold in the measured and indicated category and 103,000 ounces of inferred resources at 3.68 g/t gold. Within the measured and indicated resource is a proven and probable open pit reserve of 409,000 ounces at 3.7 g/t gold.
