In accordance with Article 39.3 of the Law on Parliamentary Procedure, 53.1 percent of lawmakers supported to discuss the draft resolution at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice.

In addition, during the session, the draft parliamentary resolution on Approval of the State Monetary Policy Guidelines for 2021 was discussed, and President of Mongol Bank B.Lkhagvasuren introduced it.

B.Lkhagvasuren said, “The government's monetary policy guidelines for 2021 are based on the principle of rescuing the economy from crisis and ensuring medium-term stability. Reducing inflation volatility and implementing a policy of low-level and consistent reduction in line with economic and financial market conditions will be the basis for ensuring economic and financial stability.”

He stressed that the adequacy of foreign exchange reserves is maintained at the level of eight to nine months of import needs, and the relatively flexible exchange rate of the tugrug plays a role in ensuring the stability of the balance of payments in line with the fundamentals of the economy, maintaining the adequacy of foreign exchange reserves and mitigating the negative effects of external shocks.

The draft monetary policy guidelines for 2021 include the following.

 The monetary policy will be implemented on the basis of market principles and inflation measured by the consumer price index from 2021 to 2023 will be based on around 6 percent in the +/- 2 percent interval.

 A prudent macro policy aimed at preventing risks in the banking system and maintaining financial intermediation will be implemented in combination with the monetary policy.
