The Great State Khural of Mongolia approved the law on the National Welfare Fund, which is designed to ensure equal income of citizens from the country's natural resources. This was announced on April 19, 2024 by TASS.
 | Every citizen of Mongolia must have a personal savings account where the funds of the Savings Fund will be registered. The Central Bank is responsible for this. Mongolia is a country with huge natural resources. People with such wealth should not be poor and lagging in development, - said the speaker of parliament Gombozhavyn Zandanshatar after voting on the law. |  |
Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrein Oyuun-Erdene noted that the discussion of this law took 30 years. Previously adopted laws in this area did not provide equal income for citizens.
Registered bank accounts, which will begin to open in May for each citizen of Mongolia, will receive funds from the NWF directly. The amount to be transferred will be determined by the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. The Mongolian National Wealth Fund will consist of three funds: future heritage, savings and development. The Future Heritage Fund will accumulate funds for future generations by investing assets in instruments of the international financial market. Savings fund funds will be spent to support health care, education and housing programs. The Development Fund will finance major national projects and programs.
After the law comes into force, large mining companies will be required to transfer up to 34% of their profits to the National Wealth Fund. Among the potential donors of the fund is the company "Erdenet" - one of the largest enterprises in Asia for the extraction of copper and molybdenum. In addition, the list includes "Oyu Tolgoi" and "Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi."[1]
