Every Citizen in Mongolia Now Has an Accumulation Account
The Mongolian Parliament
passed the National Wealth Fund Law on April 19, 2024. As part of the implementation
of this law, the Government of Mongolia discussed and approved the draft
procedure for creating, maintaining, and making expenditures from individual
savings accounts at the Government meeting on December 20, 2024.
With the implementation of
the National Wealth Fund Law and the approved regulations, Mongolia’s natural resource wealth will now be owned by all citizens. Starting
today, an accumulation account will be created for every citizen, and it will
be accessible for viewing through the E-Mongolia electronic platform.
As a result, all 3.5
million citizens of Mongolia now have a savings account, and each citizen will
receive a dividend of 135,000 MNT. The accumulation fund is composed of up to
34% of the dividends from mining companies, and the funds are intended to be
spent on citizens’ health, education, and housing.
Citizens can check their
accumulation account information through the “Chinggis Khan” National Wealth Fund section in their
profile on the E-Mongolia platform.
