Within its main objective the Bank of Mongolia promotes balanced and sustained development of the national economy, through maintaining the stability of money, financial markets and the banking system. In order to implement its objectives as set forth in this law, the Bank of Mongolia shall conduct the following activities: # Issuing currencies into circulation; # Formulation and implementation of monetary policy by coordinating money supply in the economy; # Acting as the Government's fiscal intermediary; # Supervision of banking activities; # Organization of inter-bank payments and settlement; # Holding and management of the State's reserves of foreign currencies. ==History== A joint Mongolian-Russian bank, called the "Trade and Industry Bank of Mongolia" (Bank of Mongolia) was opened on June 2, 1924 in Altanbulag with a single branch. At that time, the bank's capital was 260000 yanchaan (the currency of the period). It operated with 22 employees, 18 of which were Russian specialists and 4 of them were Mongolian. At the start, the joint bank was called by two names, "Trade and Industry Bank of Mongolia", and the "Bank of Mongolia", but it was named the Bank of Mongolia in official papers and documents. Due to the absence of a national currency, the bank faced difficulties in fulfilling financial and monetary-credit policy in the first 18 months, and foreign currencies were used in circulation. Consequently, according to the decision of Ikh Khural, the Government of Mongolia issued a resolution to conduct monetary reform on February 22, 1925. In accordance with this resolution, the Bank of Mongolia issued a new national currency, the Tögrög, consisting of 25% for precious metal and foreign stable currency, and 75% for marketable goods. In 1954, the makeup of the Bank staff had increased to 98% (compare to 18% in 1924). On the basis of this extension, the former Soviet Union transferred its own share of capital and stocks in the Bank of Mongolia to the state of Mongolia. Following this, the Bank of Mongolia was renamed as the State Bank of Mongolia. In 1991, a completely new 2 level banking system was established in Mongolia. Since its establishment, the Bank of Mongolia has been influencing and contributing efforts on the economy of the country, in maintaining the monetary policy aimed at the stabilisation of the value of the currency, and reduction of the inflation rate in the unstable transitional period. In May 2010, the Bank of Mongolia tightened its monetary policy stance by raising its policy rate by 1.0 percentage points to 11.00 percent to bring CPI inflation down, to reduce the growth of credit and monetary aggregates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mongolbank.mn/eng/listanswerquestion.aspx?did=1 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mongolbank.mn/documents/annualreport/2010e.pdf )〕 As of April 2012, the Bank of Mongolia had USD $2.9 billion in foreign reserves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mongolbank.mn/eng/dbgrossreserves.aspx )〕 The foreign reserves on June 30, 2011 contained USD $79 million of U.S governmental securities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Documents/shla2011r.pdf )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bank of Mongolia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
