Financial Regulation and Governance Program The purpose of the Program is to support the development of a sound and broad-based financial sector that effectively channels resources to productive investment. Specifically, the Program will seek to: (i) reduce the cost of borrowing and expand access to credit by improving the framework for secured transactions, (ii) protect depositors from poor governance practices in banks, (iii) enhance the role of the non-bank financial (NBF) sector in savings mobilization for investment capital, and (iv) improve investor confidence by reducing the risks from potential money laundering through the financial system.

The Program has three main components: (i) banking sector; (ii) NBF sector; and (iii) Anti-money laundering (AML) regime. The banking sector component will aim to reduce the cost of borrowing and expand access to credit by facilitating debt enforcement and lowering the cost of collateral registration. This component will also introduce legal and regulatory changes to strengthen corporate governance in banks and to improve the supervision of groups and conglomerates that control financial institutions. The NBF sector component will seek to enhance the sector's role in resource mobilization and allocation by developing the legal and regulatory framework, strenghening regulatory capacity through the establishment of a single regulator for NBF sector, the Nonbank Financial Regulatory Commission (NBFRC), and strengthening corporate governance and transparency. This component will also aim to reduce the distortionary impact of tax policies on the financial sector. The AML component will seek to mitigate the potential risks from money laundering activities by supporting the development of the legal and regulatory framework for the AML regime, and the establishment of a financial intelligence unit to monitor and report suspicious financial transactions.
MON: LOAN TO KHAN BANK The transaction will provide a US dollar-denominated unsecured loan of up to $10 million to Khan Bank in Mongolia with a maturity of six years. The loan will fund Khan Bank's US dollar lending activities, particularly to its corporate clients.
Sustaining Access to and Quality of Education During Economic Difficulties Project Mongolia is facing severe economic difficulties. Significant cuts in the education budget for 2017 and beyond greatly constrain the government's capacity to mitigate further deterioration of education services. This will result in lost opportunities for pre-primary, primary, and secondary education, especially for children who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Support from the Asian Development Bank is urgently needed to minimize the negative effects during this difficult economic period by (i) narrowing the gap in the enrollment capacity of schools and kindergartens in Ulaanbaatar and some aimag (administrative subdivision) centers, (ii) supporting the completion of unfinished curriculum reform and associated assessment system reforms, (iii)  ensuring the provision of teaching and learning materials that accompany the new curriculum, (iv) upgrading the skills and knowledge of teachers and managers for the new curriculum and assessments, and (v) strengthening systems for planning and managing education services.
Regional Road Development & Maintenance Project -Additional Financing The additional financing and the administration of the HLTF grant will scale up and extend
the socioeconomic benefits of the current project by further enhancing the road condition and
safety of the major national highway sections connecting the capital city of Ulaanbaatar with the
northern and western aimags.
COVID-19: Strengthening Health Security Program (Subprogram 1) The proposed program aims to strengthen the health sector's response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and expedite the medium-term reforms that will strengthen the health system and help Mongolia become better prepared to respond to future health crises. The program's design draws on the operational knowledge that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has gained through its engagement in the health sector in Mongolia since 1993. Through a strategic, coordinated, and well-sequenced set of policy actions, the program will facilitate both immediate and critical medium-term reforms. The provision of a $100 million loan will directly contribute to address the urgent financing needs of the Government of Mongolia. Four reform areas identified under the program will focus on (i) strengthening planning and preparedness of the health sector, and ensuring the availability of critical medicines and emergency supplies; (ii) improving national pharmaceutical regulation, and increasing hospital autonomy and good governance; (iii) enhancing procurement in the health sector to increase efficiency, and establishing a single purchaser for health services; and (iv) safeguarding fiscal sustainability of the government over the medium term (3-5 years).
Ensuring Inclusiveness and Service Delivery for Persons with Disabilities Project Often, public support to persons with disabilities (PWDs) focus on providing assistance under the concept of social welfare. However, this project will highlight what PWDs can do to ensure inclusion of PWDs in society, including them in mainstream economic activities, creating opportunities in education and employment, and providing access to the services they need. It will strengthen and institutionalize early identification of disability; improve service delivery and access to the physical environment; improve employment prospects; and contribute to strategic development for PWDs, including social welfare reform, awareness raising, and attitude change.
Dzud Disaster Response Project Since December 2009, Mongolia has been affected by a dzud. A dzud is a multi-faceted natural disaster characterized by a summer drought, in which insufficient fodder is available for stockpiling, followed by heavy winter snow and abnormally low temperatures. One third of Mongolia's population is dependent on livestock for their livelihood and lead nomadic lives. About 422,000 people are affected by the dzud, which accounts for more than a quarter of the rural population. Among those affected, an estimated 160,200 are children under 18 (including more than 44,000 children under 5 years old), about 8,200 are pregnant women, and more than 37,000 are 65 years old or older.

The Government of Mongolia (the government) has declared 12 aimags (provinces) to be in states of disaster in early February 2010. However, the situation is still very fluid and continues to deteriorate. Three additional aimags have subsequently been declared disaster areas as of 29 March 2010. There is significant variability in vulnerability across aimags, and in how the dzud is impacting the livelihood of people and the level of dzud response. The current dzud is expected to be more severe than the last one which occurred in 2001. The UN Resident Coordinator officially confirmed the scale and implications of the disaster, including an indication of the funding required to assist in alleviating its impact. The Government of Mongolia has requested immediate assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB)'s Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF). The project will help the Government to deliver food, fuel, and health and social services to affected herder households in remote areas and remove animal carcasses.
Supporting the Credit Guarantee System for Economic Diversification and Employment Project The project aims to improve the access of Mongolia’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to finance to sustain their businesses and thereby foster growth, diversify the economy, lessen its dependence on the mining sector, and create jobs. The TA will improve the quality of the Credit Guarantee Fund of Mongolia (CGFM) and the country’s credit guarantee system. The government has asked the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support commercial banks’ lending to SMEs by backing CGFM credit guarantees. The project will expand the financing for SMEs in sectors not related to mining.
Western Regional Road Corridor Development Program - Tranche I The investment program is the government's top priority road investment after the ADB-financed Regional Road Development Project. A functioning paved road network will help Mongolia to link together its large and poorly connected territory to promote social and economic development. The investment program will provide a vital link to economic opportunities and social services, reduce the high costs of imports, and improve the competitiveness of the region's export products. The physical elements of the investment program include (i) completing the western regional road, which has long been part of Mongolia's national development strategy, (ii) linking small villages and towns to the main corridor to spread the benefits of the investment to regional population centers, and (iii) establishing road maintenance centers to improve asset management and sustainability. Nonphysical components include capacity development in the road subsector, support for local contractors, extensive on-the-job training in project management and implementation, and sector reform initiatives adopted in the road map and implemented through coordination and performance links between the MFF and the parallel TA. The link between the MFF physical investments and the sector road map implementation will provide strong incentives for sector development and reform.
COVID-19: Tavan Bogd COVID-19 Wheat Supply Chain Liquidity Support Project The transaction involves a loan of up to $15,000,000 or its equivalent in togrog, comprising (i) a loan of up to $10,000,000 or its equivalent in togrog to Ulaanbaatar Flour Limited Liability Company (UBF) and (ii) a loan of up to $5,000,000 or its equivalent in togrog to Tavan Bogd Foods Limited Liability Company (TBF) for the Wheat Supply Chain and Food Security Project in Mongolia.

The project will provide essential liquidity support to UBF and TBF so that they can sustain their operations during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. The project will contribute to food security in Mongolia by ensuring a stable supply of wheat flour, the country's main staple, and flour products. The project will also preserve the livelihood of 4,000 wheat farmers and farm workers, 2,000 employees, and 2,000 sales agents.
Strengthening Institutional Framework and Management Capacity Project The project aims to support ongoing reforms to strengthen institutional framework and management capacity of Erdenes Mongol, a state-owned investment (asset management) company established in 2007. As legislative and regulatory reforms are being made to enable Erdenes Mongol to manage the state-owned assets more effectively to benefit the welfare of all Mongolian people, the project provides essential capacity development support to help Erdenes Mongol fulfill its evolving mandate of managing various state-owned assets and investing in infrastructure to support Mongolia’s economic diversification.
First Utility-Scale Energy Storage Project The project is aligned with the government medium and long term renewable energy target: (i) 100 MW of power storage installed to the CES to increase renewable energy power generation and reduce coal fired power generation in the Medium Term National Energy Policy (2018-2023) and (ii) renewable energy capacity increased to 20% of total generation capacity by 2023 and 30% by 2030 in the State Policy on Energy (2015-2030) and in Mongolia Nationally Determined Contribution in 2015. The proposed project will be included in the Country Operations Business Plan for Mongolia (2020-2021).  The outcomes of the proposed project are (i) XXX GWh of annual renewable power evacuated; (ii) xxx GWh of annual high carbon intensive imported electricity reduced; (iii) 12.7 GWh of annual expected energy not served (EENS) reduced; and (iv) at least xx million tons of CO2 emissions avoided per year. 

These outcomes will be achieved through the following outputs: (i) large scale advanced battery storage system installed, and (ii) institutional and organizational capacity enhanced.
Regional Improvement of Border Services The project will address the core problem of inefficient trade processes through rehabilitation and provision of modern equipment in selected border crossing points, upgrading the Customs Automated Information System and preparatory work for the establishment of a single window system.
Social Welfare Support Program Phase 2 The program aims to protect funding for social welfare programs for the poor and vulnerable people in Mongolia during the implementation of an extended fund facility of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The program will implement policy actions to improve fiscal policy management, and to better target and consolidate social welfare programs. These reforms will help make funding for social welfare programs more sustainable, and increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
