The meeting convened over 60 participants, including AmCham members and representatives from the Mongolian private sector.

A Q & A session with the panelists followed the discussion.

Mr. James Anderson, Country Manager for Mongolia, East Asia and Pacific from The World Bank, commented on the GDP growth of Mongolia by noting, “When Oyu Tolgoi Phase II development starts contributing to the economy, it will have some spillover effects on the overall economy.” ‪

During the discussion on foreign direct investment in Mongolia, Mr. Matthieu D. Le Blan, the Head of Office for Mongolia at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, noted, “In order to receive more foreign investment, we need quality ‪equipment, ‪machinery, and expert know-how.”

“What we can expect from the government after the election is a radical reduction in expenditures to start paying its debt,” says Mr. Robert Schoellhammer, the Country Director for Mongolia at the Asian Development Bank.

Mr. Jay Liotta, Chairman of AmCham summarized the discussion noting, “It is important to have closer collaboration between the IFIs and the private sector. The two parties have common issues and interests.”
