incentive system for companies reporting ESG well, conducting a climate risk
assessment in Mongolia's financial sector and providing guidance to financial
institutions, and organizing training on integrating ESG risk assessment.
The Mongolian Value Chain Finance Market
Development Project aims to develop a substantive Value Chain Finance (VCF)
market in Mongolia in order to improve access to finance for small and medium
enterprises. Under this project, the Manual on factoring activities was
developed, published, and delivered to market participants. Furthermore,
trainings on factoring contracts, standards, and criteria were organized. Two
sides agreed to adopt regulations for factoring activities, finalize a model
contract for factoring activities, and organize outreach activities.
