China's Inner Mongolia strives to ensure coal supply www.xinhuanet.com

HOHHOT, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has made enormous efforts to ensure the supply of coal across the country, as coal consumption saw a surge in early winter.
A total of 40 coal mines have gradually resumed production in Erdos City, raising the number of coal mines in operation in the city to 231 and increasing the production capacity by 58.6 million tonnes.
China Railway Hohhot Group Co., Ltd. has also been mobilized in various ways to ensure the transportation of coal for power generation and heating this winter and next spring.
Since October, more than 30,000 tonnes of coal have been transported every day from Baotou's west railway station. The station has adopted a priority mechanism for coal transportation trains.
The average daily transportation capacity of the south railway station of Hohhot, the regional capital, has been boosted to 350,000 tonnes from 280,000 tonnes in August.
Meanwhile, coal mining enterprises in the region have been urged to stabilize coal prices within a reasonable range

Border city Heihe to suspend overseas shopping and couriers to seal up products purchased from overseas www.globaltimes.cn

Counties and districts in China's border city Heihe in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province have said buying products from overseas epidemic-hit regions should be suspended after goods purchased from Mongolia by residents in Erenhot city in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region tested positive for COVID-19.
Five residents from Erenhot reported to the city's epidemic prevention and control work team recently about having received goods they had bought from Mongolia that tested positive for COVID-19. This comes as the annual shopping spree on November 11 approaches. Other places have since tightened their control over goods purchased from overseas.
In order to prevent imported infections and stop the transmission chain of the virus through goods, the local epidemic prevention and control work team of Xunke county in Heihe asked the local residents to stop purchasing any goods from overseas epidemic-hit areas.
Meanwhile, the logistics and courier companies are required to seal up the goods mailed from abroad in a designated area immediately and report to the county's epidemic prevention and control authority.
The county also encourages the public to supervise and report goods purchased from overseas epidemic-hit areas.
Aihui district in Heihe, which has two high-risk communities and 18 medium-risk communities as of Saturday, also tightened its control on goods purchased from overseas on Saturday by dissuading residents from purchasing goods from abroad.
The local epidemic prevention and control work team has asked the residents not to purchase goods from abroad if not necessary or urgent.
If they indeed need to purchase or have purchased goods from overseas, they have to report to their communities, villages or companies at once. Those who fail to report and cause transmission risks of COVID-19 or other serious consequences will be held accountable in accordance with the laws.
In Inner Mongolia, the Holingol city of Inner Mongolia has asked its residents not to purchase overseas products to reduce the infection risk for logistics personnel and themselves. Consumers who purchased products from overseas via purchasing agents are advised to ask suppliers to provide nucleic acid testing results and to not purchase products if the results are not provided.

Trade turnover between Russia & China tops pre-pandemic figures despite traffic jams at border crossings www.rt.com

Russo-Chinese trade turnover from January to October grew by 30.9% year on year, amounting to $115.66 billion, China’s General Customs Administration reported on Sunday.
Exports to the Russian Federation in 10 months increased 30.6%, to about $52.9 billion. Imports of Russian goods and services to China grew by 31.2%, to $62.76 billion.
In October alone, the volume of trade between the two countries reached $13 billion.
Trade between Russia and China in the reporting period already surpassed the figures for the whole of pre-pandemic 2019, when it was around $110.75 billion. The indicator slightly dropped in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, decreasing by 2.9% to $107.76 billion.
The growth in trade between the two countries comes amid continuing difficulties at the border. Crossing procedures introduced by Beijing at the height of the pandemic last year require that all trucks crossing into China drop their empty trailers for loading on the Chinese side and return to Russia, then go back to pick up the loaded vehicle.
Russia requires that the trailer be picked up by the same truck which took it to the border. This means that one truck has to cross the border four times, which has led to long lines at the border crossing terminals, reportedly numbering up to 1,000 trucks.
Chinese authorities this week asked Russia to conduct a detailed check of the crossing procedures and revise the way trucks with trailers cross the border, as idle time brings daily losses and affects transportation costs. China hopes Russia will switch to a cargo transportation system like the one at a checkpoint between China and Kazakhstan in Xinjiang, which allows any truck to pick up a loaded trailer.

ETT manages to ship 15.5 million tons of coal amid pandemic www.news.mn

Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi (ETT), one of Mongolia’s largest mining companies, still managed to ship an impressive 15.5 million tons of coal, earning MNT 1.68 trillion, including MNT 1.5 trillion in sales revenue amid chaos of interrupted supply chain procedures due to Covid.
The flagship company also reported a net profit of MNT 149.4 billion and contributed MNT 490.1 billion in taxes and fees to the state budget. Despite being prevented from transporting coal to China, its largest customer, ETT managed to negotiate receipt of advance payment for the coal, which will ship as soon as the borders open. As one the most profound consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have been interruptions to the supply chain and a decline in exports and imports due to logistical challenges, this represents a coup for the company, and the people of Mongolia.
According to a recent survey, net exports from Mongolia accounted for 6.2% of the country’s GDP in the second quarter of 2018, falling to 1.9% for the same period in 2021. A 2020 study by the World Bank and the National Statistics Office of Mongolia also found that 28% of Mongolians could be called ‘poor,’ and fears have been voiced that this number could swell to around 43%. Rising prices and shortages of goods are having a substantial impact on the livelihoods of ordinary Mongolians, who find that they have less purchasing power.
In landlocked Mongolia, this longstanding issue has been exacerbated by the pandemic-related closure of several border crossings. Although this situation is somewhat expected in places like Mongolia, the socio-economic ramifications of the pandemic have been unusually severe. The recent distribution of dividends by ETT are therefore most welcome, and play a significant role in helping to rescue the Mongolia and its citizens from an increasingly difficult situation.
ETT was named the best Mongolian taxpayer of 2020 and is one of the top 100 companies in the country – a confirmation of its continuing contribution to Mongolia and her people.

SouthGobi Resources suspends mining operations www.news.mn

Mongolian coal producer SouthGobi Resources Ltd. has been forced to suspend mining operations from this month after an outbreak of Covid-19 closed the border to its customers in China, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Mongolia has seen coal exports dwindle since April because of the pandemic, a contributing factor to the shortages of the fuel that have plagued Chinese industry in recent months.
Beijing has continued to push Mongolia for more supply, but to little avail. SouthGobi Resource, one of its biggest miners, reported in August that its sales fell to about 100,000 tons in the second quarter, from about 500,000 tons the year before. Mongolia’s total exports to China in the third quarter sank below 1 million tons, just a third of the volume reported in the prior year.
China imported more than 30 million tons of coal in September, so the volumes at risk from the border suspension aren’t particularly significant. But most of Mongolia’s coal exports are of the higher grade used in the steel industry, and are particularly prized by Chinese mills after the government banned similar supplies from Australia a year ago.
The Hong Kong-based, Toronto-listed SouthGobi Resource said its existing coal inventories should be sufficient to satisfy demand for at least four months once coal exports to China resume.

Russia-China trade to smash all-time high this year despite Covid pandemic – Russian Export Center www.rt.com

The Russian Export Center (REC) expects trade turnover between Russia and China to reach a record $130 billion in 2021, the head of the state institution Veronika Nikishina said during an online conference on Monday.
“This year, [Russia-China] trade shows rapid growth: in the first eight months of 2021, trade turnover increased by 30% to $86 billion... In the summer, trade between our two countries reached a record level of $12 billion per month. And there is no doubt that it will also be a record high by the end of the year,” Nikishina said.
She noted that Russian exports to China jumped by 34% to $42.3 billion in the reporting period, while imports from China grew by 27%, to $43.5 billion.
According to REC estimates, the turnover will exceed $130 billion by the year’s end, topping the record $111 billion reached in pre-pandemic 2019. Nikishina noted that China has been Russia's main foreign trade partner since 2010, dominating Russian imports since 2008 and exports since 2017.
China’s share in Russia's trade amounted to 17.7% in the first eight months of this year, with a 14.2% share in exports and 23.3% in imports. According to the official, even the Covid-19 pandemic was unable to hinder the countries’ efforts to strengthen mutual trade.
“In 2020, Russian-Chinese trade turned out to be very resistant to the crisis. Amid the pandemic and the fall in world prices, its decline was only 6.7%, while Russia's trade with other countries decreased by 16.6%,” Nikishina said.
China has been Russia’s main importer of non-primary non-energy goods since 2016. According to the official, deliveries of these goods have been growing for seven consecutive years, and the trend continues through 2021.
“For eight months of 2021, their deliveries amounted to $11.4 billion, exceeding the level of 2020 by 19%,” Nikishina specified. Products that showed the largest growth are copper, aluminum, direct reduced iron, copper wire, fertilizers, lumber, oilseeds, crustaceans, paper and cardboard.

Mortgage loans worth MNT 787.2 billion disbursed www.montsame.mn

In the first nine months of 2021, mortgage loans worth MNT 787.2 billion were disbursed to 10.5 thousand borrowers through the source of the central bank.
This is an average of MNT 87.9 billion in loans issued per month in 2021, according to the Bank of Mongolia today.
In October and November of this year, the Bank of Mongolia will provide financing of MNT 40 billion to commercial banks for mortgage loans, while banks will disburse loans worth MNT 26.7 billion from their own resources.
The Bank of Mongolia stated that the preparation is underway to fully transfer the mortgage loan program to the Government by 2023 and informed that the bank will ensure the continuity of the program until then.
