Since 2016, number of citizens who received mortgage loan has been decreased drastically. In 2016, over 12 thousand citizens obtained the eight percent mortgage loan. By the end of 2017, the number was decreased three times, to 3.9 thousand.

In addition, the amount of financing was also decreased by 46 percent. In May, the Bank of Mongolia (BoM) transferred MNT 15.7 billion and the Ministry of Finance transferred MNT 29.4 billion to commercial banks to finance the mortgage loan program. This grants an opportunity for 657 citizens to obtain the loan.

“The mortgage loan program financing has been decreased due to the BoM’s inability to finance projects and programs as required by the International Monetary Fund’s EFF program,” an analyst of the Bloomberg TV Mongolia emphasized. It was reported that the BoM will quit the mortgage loan program and transfer it to the Government of Mongolia within 2018. “The fall in mortgage loan financing impacts household savings,” the Bloomberg TV Mongolia noted.

The BoM and the Government of Mongolia are granting mortgage loan financing twice per month starting from this year. As of the first quarter of 2018, a total of MNT 48.1 billion were distributed to commercial banks, granting loans to 706 citizens. As of today, a total 93 thousand citizens obtained the laon and the loan balance reached MNT 4.2 trillion.
