S.Odontuya: Prime Minister was responsible for finishing Darkhan road construction work On July 2, the first session of the new Parliament discussed the appointment of a new Prime Minister. The Office of President presented U.Khurelsukh, nominated to be Prime Minister from Mongolian People’s Party, as new PM. After the presentation, other Parliament members asked questions and gave speeches. Deputy Speaker and Parliament Member S.Odontuya said “We need to reduce spending, because we are not able to raise money from abroad. Citizens are frustrated when the government spends too much. Take a look around Sukhbaatar Square. You don't need such luxury apartments when there is no hospital for children. Let the women members work together. We take care of our household budget. There was a drug problem arisen that had no connection with Covid-19. U.Khurelsukh promised to finish Darkhan road construction and to bring the new airport into exploitation. But he didn’t. We need to consider this. The economy is the mind of bread and meat. We need to support our wealth creators and producers to revive the economy, as it is a question of how to get bread and meat if households do not have income”. 2020-07-03
ADB, Mongolia Sign Projects for COVID-19 Shock Response, Economic Cooperation Zone, Solid Waste Management The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Mongolia today signed three projects to lessen the socioeconomic impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on poor and vulnerable groups in Mongolia, to help support Mongolia’s post-pandemic recovery by developing an economic cooperation zone, and improve solid waste management. Signing the Shock-Responsive Social Protection Project, for which ADB approved a $26.4 million loan, and the solid waste management project, for which a grant of $2 million is being provided from the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR), were ADB Country Director for Mongolia Pavit Ramachandran and Mongolian Minister of Finance Khurelbaatar Chimed. Signing the Developing the Economic Cooperation Zone Project, for which ADB is providing a $30 million loan, were Mr. Ramachandran and Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia Enkhtuvshin Ulziisaikhan. Mr. Matsuhashi Tomoyuki, Second Secretary of the Embassy of Japan in Mongolia, and representatives from line ministries also attended the ceremony. “The Shock-Responsive Project is a key part of ADB’s package of support to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in Mongolia,” said Mr. Ramachandran. “The project aims to lessen the socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on poor and vulnerable groups in Mongolia, and to support the government’s response in social protection.” The economic cooperation zone project, meanwhile, will help stimulate the economy by providing job opportunities, improving connectivity, and reducing trade costs. The project will also facilitate international trade and help diversify Mongolia’s economy, which is crucial to the country’s post-pandemic economic recovery. 2020-07-03

Kh.Bulgantuya: State budget tightens due to bond payment Most Mongolian citizens voted Mongolian People’s Party believing the MPP can carry the burden. The World Health Organization couldn’t say when the pandemic period ends. We must be united and mobilize all our internal resources. The next four years need to be very businesslike. In 2000-2024, many foreign loans, such as the Chinggis bond, will be repaid. Thus, the State budget must be tightened. State budget will be amended and this issue will be discussed soon. Some adjustments shall be made coordinating with income. Budget revenues have been severely cut. In the past, up to 1,200 coal trucks used to cross the border daily, but the re-spread of Covid-19 in China influenced on export reduce. On the positive side, Mongolia is a small trading country that exports less than 2% of China's total imports. All expenses, such as welfare, are alloted from the State Fund on time. Besides my election campaign, I worked on its monitoring. 2020-06-30
