Mongolia's central bank purchases 11 tons of gold so far this year www.xinhuanet.com

Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's central bank said that it had purchased 11 tons of gold from legal entities and individuals so far this year, according to local media on Saturday.
As of July, the bank's average gold purchase price was 164,862.22 Mongolian tugriks (around 58 U.S. dollars) per gram, the Bank of Mongolia said in a statement.
Purchasing gold is one of the key ways for the central bank to ensure the country's economic stability by consistently increasing foreign currency reserves, said the bank.
The Asian country's foreign exchange reserves reached 4.9 billion U.S. dollars at the end of April, hitting an all-time high, it said.
Central banks across the world typically hold gold as part of their foreign exchange reserves.

Mongolia set to host FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2021 www.montsame.mn

The third edition of the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup will take place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on October 11-15, 2021.
The announcement comes just one week after 3x3’s success debut at the Tokyo Olympics, where Mongolia competed, making it the first time the country participated in any team sport event at the Games.
The hosting agreement follows up on the visit to the 3x3 venue in Tokyo by the Prime Minister of Mongolia Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene, who attended the 3x3 games with FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis.
“We are extremely proud to bring the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup to Mongolia,” Mongolian 3x3 Basketball Association President Myagmarjav Luvsandash said.
“It shows that we are ready to organize more and more prestigious events. After Mongolia competed in the 3x3 event of the Tokyo Olympics and Khulan Onolbaatar was our country’s first-ever female flagbearer, the discipline has become an absolute fan favorite here.”
Mongolia is not new to organizing 3x3 national team competitions. The country hosted the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup in 2017 as well as the FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup in 2019.
“Mongolia continues to be a great example that 3x3 offers a chance to new countries to shine in basketball,” FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis said.
“Between the Asia Cup, the U18 World Cup and many other FIBA 3x3 official competitions, Mongolia has proven to be an amazing host.”
The best U23 teams in the world in the men and the women’s categories will be in action in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar.
Russia won the first two editions of the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup in the men’s category. They also won in 2018 in the women’s category while Japan won with the women in 2019, their only world title in a basketball discipline.

4 billion cyber attacks annually recorded in Mongolia www.montsame.mn

On August 3, MPs in the working group in charge of preparing the revised drafts for the Laws on Public Information, Protection of Personal Data, Cyber Security, and Electronic Signature became acquainted with the operations of the Department of Information Security at the General Intelligence Agency and the National Data Center.
With MP N.Uchral as the head, the working group consists of MPs N.Altankhuyag, P.Anujin, E.Bat-Amgalan, T.Dorjkhand, L.Munkhbaatar, B.Saranchimeg, J.Sukhbaatar and D.Tsogtbaatar.
Along with the rapid development of ICT, it became necessary to ensure cyber security. Due to several main factors such as insufficient legal environment, no authority in charge of taking preventive and countermeasures against cyber threats and attacks, and a lack of cooperation, Mongolia has ranked 104th in 2017 and 85th in 2018 in the Global Cybersecurity Index by the International Telecommunication Union.
The number of cyber attacks have increased each year since 2013. More specifically, an average of about 4 billion cases are considered to be a potential cyber attack. As one of the main duties of the center is to record these cyber attacks and take protective measures against them, the situation is constantly monitored by engineers at the center.
MP N.Uchral said, “Our country is currently implementing a policy on the digital transition of public services. However, amendments are required to be made in order to bring it to full realization. Furthermore, it is important to tell apart which type of information should be made accessible. The protection of personal data will also be discussed. As the government has a duty to protect the privacy and information of its citizens, it has also been reflected in the bill for the Law on Cyber Security.
Although it has been over 10 years since the parliament’s approval of the Law on Electronic Signature, its implementation continues to lack. As of currently, there are three companies that provide services for electronic signatures and only 35 thousand electronic signatures have been issued so far. In order to properly develop digital governance, it is necessary to strengthen the main infrastructure.
"The parliament is currently discussing a package of draft laws on digital governance. By approving these laws, the country’s safety index will increase alongside creating better conditions for citizens to have quick access to public services as well as for the elimination of corruption and bribery. Certain improvements are also expected in the country’s economy and the sector of finance. Some of the requirements placed by investors will begin to be met. Moreover, we are working on drafting a bill on virtual investment, which we aim to have approved during the parliament’s autumn session” said the MP N.Uchral.
