In addition, the Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM) independently withdrew a source of USD96.6 million from foreign banks and financial organizations in the third quarter of 2017 within its basic activities. By this action the DBM has augmented foreign currency inflow, providing the currency for domestic need at proper level and has given support to stabilize currency fluctuation as well as it has raised international investors’ trust in Mongolian Government. The DBM also has been working to back stable economic growth with its activities including having made additional source that had not been reflected in the budget in compliance with the Law on Debt Management.
