The parties discussed the expansion of cooperation during the implementation of investment projects on the territory of Mongolia, cooperation in the financial sector, as well as the opportunities to exploit the potential of industrial facilities of the Gazprombank Group. One of the main subjects of negotiations was the discussion of the contract banking support mechanism, which can be applied to increase the efficiency of the state procurement system. Oleg Melnikov, Executive Vice President – Head of the Contracts Banking Support Department of Gazprombank, shared with the Mongolian party the practical value of using the tool during the implementation of projects both in the interests of government customers and the private sector, as well as the potential to transfer the banking support technology to other countries.

We recognize the importance of development of productive bilateral relations and we are ready to work with the Government of Mongolia and Mongolian companies in all key industries by offering the required products, services and technologies for the development of the industrial capacity and infrastructure, and we are ready to contribute to the investment promotion in the country”, emphasized Alexander Garankin, First Vice President of Gazprombank.
“In the near future, we are planning to implement a number of major projects in the power industry, metallurgical industry, and infrastructure development. Successful completion of these projects will positively affect the Mongolian economy, contribute to the investment, tourism, transport system growth in the country, and improve the quality of life of our citizens. Needless to say, we are interested in attracting financial and technology partners from the Russian Federation. I am confident that the experience, competencies and resources of the Gazprombank Group will be in high demand. And today we have reached an agreement on further practical steps in this direction”, said Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene, the Prime Minister of Mongolia.
