Ministry
provides school buses for disabled students



May 1 (UB Post)
The Ministry of Education and Science (MES) handed school buses to six schools
for disabled children and to “Mongol Temuulel” laboratory school on Wednesday.






Six of the
buses are regular passenger buses with 26 seats each, while the bus provided to
School No.70 for disabled children has 17 seats and is equipped with step-free
wheelchair accessible stairs.


The bus costs
144 million MNT.


The MES spent
700 million MNT for the purchase of the buses.


“I used to
carry my child in my hand on a bus as it caused inconvenience for passengers
when my kid is on a wheelchair in the bus. The wheelchair don’t fit in small
buses. Now I am so relieved that my child will be able to go to school
comfortably without interfering with others,” said N.Altantsetseg, a mother of
a student of School no.70.


Principal of
School No.29 E.Batsaikhan noted, “Out of 310 disabled students in our school,
160 of them live in the school dormitory, while those who live in the suburbs
take school buses and the rest used to catch public transportation buses. Now
all of our students will be transported with school buses.”


A total of
15,770 students are physically impaired in Mongolia and 1,600 of them study at
the six schools mentioned above.


Of the six
schools, Schools No.25 and No.70 didn’t have school buses previously. Others
had one or two buses which only transported students from the outskirts of the
city.


Disabled
students were sometimes not allowed in public buses and some were injured on
the way, reported school principals.









Weakening
Mongolian mining highlights risks for banks, says Fitch



May 1 (UB Post)
The extension of a debt repayment by Mongolian Mining Corporation (MMC)
highlights the pressures for the industry and the risks for local banks, Fitch
Ratings says.


The following is Fitch’s assessment of
Mongolian banks.


Mongolian banks
do not have excessively high direct exposure to mining, but the deteriorating
operating environment for the country’s key export sector heightens wider macro
risks to the banking system. There are no immediate rating implications for the
banks, as our ratings and their outlooks for Khan and Xac (both “B/Negative”)
already reflect the harsher operating environment.


Mongolian banks
are susceptible to the liquidity and profitability pressure in the mining
sector as this flows through to the broader economy. Mining’s weakness stems
largely from depressed demand, as indicated by falling prices. This also has a
negative impact on the Mongolian MNT, which depreciated by 20 percent in 2013
and by another six percent so far this year. With foreign-currency loans at
around 30 percent, banks are exposed to credit risk from a weaker local
currency, even though foreign-currency lending is largely to corporations with
natural or financial hedges.


Credit risks
have built up for the banks due to an exceptionally loose macro policy that has
fueled credit growth above nominal GDP. Buffers against the risk are not
robust, as the brisk pace of credit expansion at capped rates under the
government’s loan program pressures margins, liquidity and capital. Growth of
non-performing loans is rapidly outstripping that of total loans, rising by 93
percent year on year in March 2014 against 54 percent.


The headline
figure for NPLs remained at 5.2 percent of total loans (4.2 percent a year
before). But Fitch believes this underestimates asset-quality stress as it only
captures 90-days-or-longer-overdue loans. Mongolian banks’ direct lending to
the mining sector was a modest 12 percent of total lending at end-2013 because
they lack the capacity to fund large projects. Financing has been provided by
global financial institutions, which have had to extend their funding
commitments due to delays.


Among the local
banks, Trade and Development Bank of Mongolia has a 40 million USD short-term
unsecured loan to MMC. The loan is about 1.3 percent of the bank’s total assets
or 18 percent of equity, and so manageable. Golomt’s loans to the mining
industry represented 11 percent of its end-2013 lending, while Khan and Xac
(both “B/Negative”) had small lending exposures at four percent and three
percent, respectively.


The Development
Bank of Mongolia does occasionally guarantee mining loans in part, which
mitigates some of the credit risk. The mounting pressure on Mongolia’s economic
and financial stability underpins the negative outlook on Fitch’s “B+”
sovereign rating. Mongolia has a macro-prudential risk indicator of “MPI3”,
reflecting a high risk of systemic stress from rapid credit growth, strong
asset-price growth, and appreciation of the real effective exchange rate.









Japanese
horse-head fiddle players perform at the State Philharmonic



May 1 (UB Post)
Japanese Horse-head Fiddle (morin khuur) players participating in the Fourth
International Festival – Competition of Morin Khuur organized by the World
Morin Khuur Association performed at the State Philharmonic on April 27. The
competition was organized by two-time state champion, composer and artist
N.Jantsannorov, folk artist and morin khuur player Ts.Batchuluun and Chief of
the World Morin Khuur Association A.Bat-Erdene.


Around ten
amateur players performed and among them Matsuma Miki surprised everyone with
her performance of “Morin Tuvurguun”. Many of the pieces performed during this
year’s competition were compositions which require advanced skill and are
difficult for not only foreign amateur players, but also professional Mongolian
players. Yuuji Shioto and Masaho Yasu performed a ballet piece named “Uran
Khas” composed by state merited artist J.Chuluun with a piano accompaniment.
Mamaru Maekawa performed and also showed her exceptional talents.


The youngest
Japanese participant was sixteen year old Yuyu Fuji, who played “Balchir Kheer”
of Western Mongolia. She goes to a private school where a morin khuur course is
part of the school curriculum and has been learning to play for four years. The
eldest player, Noriko Mitsui, performed “Sanchir Garig” from the “Udshiin Byatskhan
Duunuud” album by two-time state champion, composer and artist N.Jantsannorov,
and was accompanied by a yatga. He is 74 years old and learned to play the
morin khuur eight years ago. Yuko Miahara played the Mongolian rhythmic folk
long song “Tungalar Tamir”. The player who most moved the audience was Nayisa
Abe, who played the music of “Romeo and Juliet”. The sweet music of “Romeo and
Juliet”, which portrayed the sincere love and sentiments of couples, sounded
even better when played on the morin khuur. This piece was first taught to her
by folk artist and morin huur player  Ts.Batchuluun. Horikawa Mahiro,
champion of the November 2013 Amateur Competition for Morin Khuur Players named
after two-time state champion, composer and artist N.Jantsannorov, performed
his piece “Autumn” given to him by N.Jantsannorov.


Folk artist
Ts.Batchuluun said, “I would like to thank today’s foreign amateur players who
are learning and promoting these great musical pieces of Mongolia in their own
countries. Today, a sixteen year old girl was able to play a Western Mongolian
piece magnificently. Even people in their 50s, 60s and 70s were performing.
They showed that age doesn’t matter in music. What are Mongolians of these ages
doing? Some performers said that they go to schools to perform. They are
expanding our culture instead of us. Mongolians honor the morin khuur and place
it in homes and offices, but those who actually play it are few. I hope the
morin huur is played instead of being displayed.”


There are
around 600 people who play the morin khuur in Japan. Some participants were
interviewed after the performance.


Horikawa Mahiro wished for Mongolians to be
his first audience for ‘Autumn’


How did you first learn to play the morin
khuur?


A morin khuur
course is included in my school’s curriculum. It’s taught once a week. That’s
how I came to know morin khuur. Later, I became a student of A.Bat-Erdene,
Chief of the World Morin Khuur Association. Now, it’s my fifth year playing.


What about this instrument attracted you?


Morin khuur is
very unique from European classical instruments. It creates a refined sound
that classical instruments can’t make. It’s extremely amazing that the sound
can be made from only two strings.


You just performed “Autumn” composed by
N.Jantsannorov. What was your first impression of the music?


My wish for
Mongolians to be the first to listen to “Autumn” came true today. When I first
listened, it portrayed Mongolian autumn more than Japan’s, so I searched for
information about Mongolian autumn on the internet. This transitional midseason
of summer to winter is absolutely beautiful. The light loneliness of seasonal
change, trees separating from their leaves, yellow leaves hovering on the
ground, birds migrating and herders preparing for winter are portrayed in this
piece.


What was the first Mongolian piece you
played?


I first learned
to play “Russian Leather Bag”. I can now play five Mongolian pieces. I play
during my free time so I haven’t leant many.


Noriko Mitsui: I learned to play morin
khuur after retiring


How did you come to like morin khuur?


Many years ago,
when I came to Mongolia, I got a really unique feeling after listening to morin
khuur. I can’t explain it in words. When I returned to my country, I told
myself that I would learn morin khuur after retiring and soon, it came true. At
first my fingers hurt a lot, but I tolerated it because I didn’t want to quit.
After I leaned to play, I performed at an afternoon meeting of elderly people.
Everyone appreciated it, so it encouraged me to play more. The sound from the
morin khuur is completely unique.


Of pieces composed by Mongolians, what’s
your favorite piece to play?


It’s “Sender
Ohin”. I’m not sure of the details but I think it’s about a beautiful girl. I
wonder what it means.


It’s about the sadness of a girl who is to
be married to an old man because of her greedy parents.


Really? I
didn’t know it was such a sad song.


You perform morin khuur at a primary
school, right?


Yes, “Sukhiin
Saaral Mori” and myths of morin khuur are included in a second grade
curriculum. I play morin khuur while teaching the myth. Children love the morin
khuur.


Other than morin khuur, what do you like
about Mongolia?


I like
listening to long songs and khoomii. I’m really envious of Mongolia’s beautiful
nature.









U.S.
Federal Bureau of Investigation training in Mongolia



May 1 (UB Post)
In the framework of legal reform laid out by the Minister of Justice, a
proposal for the formation of an investigation bureau focused on national
security and fighting transnational organized crime was submitted to cabinet
members. The main activities of the Bureau of Investigation would be to fight
against drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, and cyber crime.
In order to study the experiences of countries that fight these crimes, the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was called on.


The FBI has
been providing training to Mongolian law enforcement officers since April 21.


We learned more about the training from
Ronald D. Curtis, special agent of the FBI and Virt Blake, legal attache of the
U.S. Embassy in China.


How does the FBI work?


First of all,
after analyzing what kind of crime is harmful, we start to work. We investigate
the crimes that might impact society negatively.  For example, we mostly
fight against terrorism and cyber crime.  Cyber crime is really harmful to
the global community. The FBI does not investigate crimes such as assault,
transportation accidents, or domestic violence.


Mongolia is considering the formation of a
Bureau of Investigation.  Under what department does the FBI work?


The FBI belongs
to the United States Justice Department. There are other agencies such as the
Drug Enforcement Administration in the Justice Department. The United States of
America is a federal country so each state has a legal office and they all
belong to the Justice Department.


Do any other law enforcement officers
participate in cases handled by the FBI?


The FBI
cooperates with the other legal agencies (city, state, and federal) which have
the same obligation. During the handling of the case, the prosecutor’s office
controls it.


Transnational organized crime occurs in
Mongolia. By joining the National Investigation Agency of Mongolia and
Mongolian Criminal Police Department, we established the Department for
Fighting Against Organized Crime. You have conducted several surveys in
Mongolia. Do you think that we really need the National Investigation Agency?


We don’t have
the right to draw a conclusion on it. Establishing a Bureau of Investigation or
not will depend on your country’s government’s decision.


Who initiated the idea to come to Mongolia?


In 2013,
delegates led by the Minister of Justice of Mongolia visited the U.S., and
during the visit they met the head of the FBI. Currently we are developing a
draft on the Bureau of Investigation. In connection with it, they discussed
inviting facilitators from the FBI to share their information and experience.
Based on this, the trainings were scheduled to be held for two weeks in April
2014. At present, we are starting the training.


What kind of information did you have about
the Bureau of Investigation draft?


We met working
group members from the Standing Committee of the Cabinet last Friday and
D.Battsogt, the Member of Cabinet headed the meeting.  The draft consisted
of six chapters and 40 provisions. At present, we have not become acquainted
with the final draft, which is why we couldn’t make any conclusions earlier. As
we understand, the newly established agency will investigate illegal drug and
human trafficking, and cyber and financial crime.









Ts.Sosorbaram:
Water supply for 1.3 million people is more important than grazing for ten
herders



May 1 (UB Post)
A recent study stated that after five to
ten years, the residents in Ulaanbaatar will face shortage of drinking water.
Relevant organizations are looking for ways to save surface water and supply
for the increasing water demand. As part of this work, water reservoir is to be
established near Terelj. Although blueprints have already been developed,
construction work is yet to begin. Ph.D Ts.Sosorbaram, director of Mongolian
Water Company and advising engineer of Mongolia, gave an interview regarding
the delay of construction work and other important aspects of the reservoir.
 


When did you start talking about
establishing a water reservoir at the basin of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park area?


A research for
building a reservoir to use water from Tuul River first started in 1981.
Scientists of five major institutions of Russia began this work and made
construction designs and feasibility studies. Five locations around Tuul River
were selected for establishing a reservoir. Specifically, three places around
the border of Gachuurt and two places in Gorkhi-Terelj. Everything necessary
for the construction was issued in the research including geodetic detailed
mapping, hundreds of geological sites, earthquakes, measurements of seismic
waves, building materials and estimated costs. For 30 years, this matter was
discussed. However, the Water Program was approved in 2010 and issues
concerning surface water usage received more attention. This made it possible
to establish a water complex.


Why hasn’t the construction work started?


The Korea
International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and Prestige company conducted further
research based on the previous research. They concluded that it’s best to
establish a reservoir at the basin of Terelj and Tuul River. We came to a
position where we had to choose one of the two locations and develop a
preliminary draft. It was assigned to the concession meeting to resolve it.
Now, we’re waiting for their decision.


A significant amount of time has passed
since the initial discussion of establishing a reservoir. During this period,
was it discussed?


The Governor’s
Office of Ulaanbaatar requested to establish a reservoir. The Citizen’s Representatives
Council has to discuss it and the Ministry of Environment and Green Development
(MEGD) has to assign a task force. They concluded that it’s best for
professional organizations to make decisions and the matter was transferred to
the National Water Commission led by the Prime Minister. Presently, we haven’t
received a reply and time for the next conference is uncertain. If the National
Water Commission approves, it will be discussed by the Water Resource Council
of MEGD in charge of issues of surface and underground water resource. When the
project is approved, investments will be decided and implementation will begin.


Mongolia has limited water resources, is it
possible to establish a water reservoir?


Around 80
percent of Tuul River is from accumulated rain water and the rest from
permafrost, snow and ice water of mountains. A significant amount of water
passes Tuul River basin during summer. With its water above average flow level
or flood water, it’s possible to establish a reservoir.


Is there a standard for reservoirs?


Reservoirs are
different from hydroelectric power plants. You can say it’s a water complex. We
must accumulate water as soon as possible and make a large harbor to establish
the reservoir. This way, it’ll be possible to reduce current energy costs for
delivering water to apartments. I heard that almost 30 percent of total expense
of the Water Supply and Sewerage Authority of Ulaanbaatar (USUG) is from water
delivery.


Furthermore,
sanatorium aquatic environment will be built adjacent to the reservoir for
increasing the population of fish.


Is it true that the work is delaying due to
land issues?


Obviously,
there are land issues. Furthermore, the location hasn’t been chosen from the
two places. The basin of Gorkhi-Terelj where the water complex is planned is
not only located in a tourism zone but it’s also a national park. It will
either need to be removed from special protected areas after a proposal is
submitted to the parliament and changes have to be made in the law or renew regimes/procedures
of the project. In my opinion, with so many stages, this is very difficult.
It’s forbidden to build any sort of facility in protected areas. If buildings
are built, many issues and difficulties will arise. For example, noises from
blasts, cars etc., animals will be scared away, species will be killed and
weeds will grow. Establishing a water complex at the basin of Gorkhi-Terelj is
a broad issue. Apart from wasting time, there’s a possibility that it’ll
receive protests from local people.


It’s possible
to establish the water complex in Gachuurt as it includes neither a settlement
nor any private properties. Although there are several residents, it’s possible
to relocate them.


What effects does the water complex have to
the environment? How will restoration be done?


For a dry
country like Mongolia, it’s significant in various aspects. It creates
favorable conditions for creating ponds and lakes as well as increasing water
resources. A certain amount of water will be absorbed in soil but it’s possible
to reclaim and reuse it. There are risks of destroying forests, trees, willows
and shrubs but we can replant them somewhere else. With the water complex,
we’ll create a facility for animal population protection. Soils become watery
and salinized in low and humid places with a lot of water. For Mongolia, it’s
the opposite and it’s possible to establish a green facility.


Today, more
than the grazing of ten herders, water supply for the population of 1.3 million
people is more urgent. There aren’t any water reservoirs or electric power
plants in Mongolia. There are 17 in Japan which has a comparatively small land,
30 in China and 57 in Moscow, Russia. The people need to understand that
establishing a reservoir is significant to the ecology.


As for restoration,
firstly, works to graze and transfer fertile soils will be incorporated into
the project. To replant trees and plants, we’re planning on commissioning an
environmental assessment. Other than that, there aren’t any effects on the
environment.


What are the economic benefits of
establishing a water complex?


Reservoir is
unique because it’s a facility for adjusting water flow. Specifically, it
supervises river flow so residents will not be affected by flood and issues
such as rivers drying out and clean water shortage will be resolved. It’s also
possible to adjust underground water structure. Until today, those who objected
had the understandings that Ulaanbaatar will be flooded if we build a
hydroelectric power plant. This is a bias to obstruct the project.


Water is one of
the three essentials to life. It’s wrong to seek profit from water. Each
resident in apartments in Ulaanbaatar uses 270 to 340 liters of water each day
while a person living in the ger district uses six liters of water a day. They
want to live in apartments. Last year, apartments for 20 thousand households
were commissioned in Ulaanbaatar. This means that water usage increased
substantially. In order to avoid water shortage, our reservoir will be used for
cost recovery, not for profit.


If we establish a water complex, will water
resource increase?


Although water
resource will increase, for Mongolia, which is dry and has only one water
complex, we’ll be able to get resources for only five to ten years. It’s
necessary to build many reservoirs.


During a year with low precipitation, how
much water can be accumulated?


A
hydro-geological research was conducted for this. Based on a research showing
that Tuul river basin was used for 40 year, a water complex for many years of
usage will be established. This means that resources will not decrease during
years with low precipitation.


The whole world is facing climate change
and global warming. Will this situation affect water complex activities?


Global warming
is affecting Mongolia. It is not only decreasing significant amounts of
precipitation but also increasing evaporation in soil. This situation will
affect water complex activities to a certain degree but we will conduct
relevant studies. With its results, it’ll be possible to measure water level by
monitoring water usage and delivery. For starters, our objective is to supply
residents with clean water so we’ll continue to save resources.


To implement the project, how much funding
is required?


Estimates were
made based on studies conducted by Russians 30 years ago. After converting the
currency to today’s rate, the estimate showed 250 to 300 million USD. According
to the KOIKA’s version, over 300 million USD is required. This funding will be
provided from several sources. We can acquire it from concessional loans, state
budget, bonds, foreign investments and private businesses. Seven to 13 years
will be needed to make up costs.


When will you start construction and when
will it be commissioned?


If land issues
are resolved, we’re ready to begin anytime. We’re anticipating good news from
this conference. If we start our work today, we’ll have finished feasibility
study around this time next year. Construction is estimated to take three
years. Basically, we’ll get a water complex in four to five years.









Trade
unions demonstrate for better social security



May 1 (UB Post)
Members of the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions (CMTU)
organized a demonstration for “Social Security for Citizens and Workers” at the
central square on Wednesday, demanding a decrease in the price of consumer
goods, a salary and pension increase, better occupational safety, as well as
job security.


The CMTU has
made several requests for the parliament and the government to respond to the
current conditions in Mongolia, where both social and economic situations are
unstable, while the income and purchasing power of the people remains low. As a
result, many businesses are laying off their employees, causing financial
difficulties for many families.


The demonstrators
also demanded that the state form a legal benchmark which allows indexation of
pay and pension, provides equal pay to employees holding the same positions,
eliminate salary discrimination between foreign and Mongolian employees, and
collect social insurance fees from both foreign and local employees.


CMTU
administrators, members, related organizations and representatives of the
senior, youth and professional communities attended the demonstration to show
their support for the demands.
