Politics
Ulaanbaatar, April 13, 2023 /MONTSAME/. The Government of Mongolia is committed to encouraging competitiveness in a free market by cracking down on corruption and reducing excessive government control and bureaucracy. As part of this effort, the Government has launched an online platform called "E-Business" to support entrepreneurs.
“Launching of the "E-Business" platform is a significant step towards reducing bureaucracy as it enables entrepreneurs to obtain special licenses and register their businesses without visiting registration and taxation offices. This is just a beginning,” stressed Prime Minister of Mongolia L. Oyun-Erdene at the opening ceremony of the “E-Business” Platform.
The "E-Business" platform now offers 658 services, including 417 special licenses for legal entities, 42 inquiries and references, and 226 government services.
During the Ceremony, the Premier presented the process of the long-term development policy "Vision 2050" and the medium-term "New Revival Policy” implemented by the Government of Mongolia and the Government's efforts towards creating a conducive business environment. When starting a new business, everything from registering the legal entity to obtaining a certificate is now digitized, making the process faster and more efficient. Also, entrepreneurs can avoid unnecessary complications and expenses resulting from red tape in public organizations and conflict of interests caused by regulations and civil servants.
Noting the fact that the key to achieving a digital Mongolia without corruption and bureaucracy lies in citizens obtaining digital signatures, the Prime Minister pointed out that if the 1.5 million users of "E-Mongolia" obtain digital signatures by the end of this year, it could pave the path of a large-scale digital revolution in Mongolia.
Starting from August 12, 2022, the issuance of digital signature certificates through the mobile app has begun, and as of today, 603 thousand citizens have already been granted their digital signatures.
