Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. In the first half of this year, the Mongolian Stock Exchange (MSE) made a profit of MNT 1.5 billion for the first time in 30 years. This high yield was mainly due to bond trading activity, which reached MNT 119.6 billion, 6.5 times higher than the same period of the previous year.
The total value of the Mongolian stock market reached MNT 3.8 trillion in the first half of 2021, which is a high record, showing an increase of 52.1 percent compared to the previous year. The TOP 20 index increased by 107 percent compared to the same period of the last year and reached 33,509 units, while market capitalization increased by 75 percent, reaching MNT 2.9 trillion.

gaining momentum and, as a result, is beginning to benefit the people. At the
