Draft Law on Amendments to the State Austerity Law to be Submitted to the State Great Khural www.montsame.mn
After discussing the draft Law on Amendments to the State Austerity Law, the Cabinet decided to submit it to the State Great Khural of Mongolia for urgent discussion, in compliance with the Law on the Procedure of the Sessions of the State Great Khural on January 10, 2024.
The Parliament of Mongolia approved the State Austerity Law on April 29, 2022. This legislation mandates the enforcement of financial discipline in the government, its organizations at all levels, public services, and their activities. The key objectives include ensuring transparency, enhancing efficiency, and implementing measures to limit and monitor wastage. Budget administrators at all levels and state-owned enterprises have implemented the State Austerity Law, resulting in cuts to costs, staff, and the salary fund.
Additionally, all possible costs have been reduced through various operational changes within public organizations. These include limitations on car usage during official missions (requiring travel in economic class only), eliminating uniform purchases, public fund expenditures on souvenirs and presents, digitizing official records, and implementing measures to save electricity, heating, and energy consumption. The Cabinet concluded that the State Austerity Law has achieved outcomes, contributing positively to economic growth through reduced state budget expenditures.
A draft Law on Amendments to the State Austerity Law has been developed to ensure normal operations of public organizations in rural areas and enhance the efficiency and accessibility of their services to citizens.
The new Law will facilitate the uninterrupted operation of public organizations in rural areas during challenging weather conditions, such as harsh winters and spring seasons. Also, it will ensure the timely and efficient delivery of essential public services to citizens. While maintaining fiscal discipline and continued austerity measures, the new law is expected to affect the improvement to access to public services.
