Mongolian central bank's gold purchase continues to decline www.xinhuanet.com
ULAN BATOR, March 4 (Xinhua) -- The Bank of Mongolia announced on Monday that its purchase of gold declined by 81 percent year on year in February.
The central bank has purchased 84.1 kg of gold from legal entities and individuals last month.
The dramatic decline was mainly related to the expiration of the effective period of low royalty taxes on gold with the 2014 amendments to the Minerals Law, according to experts from the Bank of Mongolia.
The 2.5-percent of discounted royalty on gold mining ended on Jan. 1. From then on, 5 to 10 percent royalty taxes on gold mining have been imposed on miners.
The Mongolian Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry Dolgorsuren Sumiyabazar has recently submitted a draft bill on extending the low royalty taxes to the country's parliament, according to the bank.
Gold miners in the resource-rich country are highly anticipating the discounted royalty taxes on gold to be extended.
The Mongolian central bank purchased only 12.7 tons of gold in 2014. Thanks to the low royalty taxes on gold with the 2014 amendments, the central bank's annual gold purchase almost doubled to 22 tons in 2018.
