A. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT AND THE ASSIGNMENT
Mongolia has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) for the implementation of the Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability (SFFS) project. The Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC) is a beneficiary of the Project and is implementing activities under sub-component #C4. The main objective of the Sub-component is to strengthen the institutional capacity of the FRC.
The Commission is Mongolia’s non-bank financial markets regulator. It is mandated to supervise and regulate the non-bank financial sector, including real estate brokers, and dealers in precious metals and stones. According to the Law on Virtual Asset Service Providers, the Commission will register and monitor virtual asset service providers (from June 2022).
In recent years, shareholders and ultimate owners of companies engaged in one type of financial activity in the financial market have begun to provide other types of financial services. In accordance with joint inspection guidelines stated in the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF’s) recommendations, the Commission and the Bank of Mongolia conducted on-site consolidated supervision of 46 financial groups in 2019. The objective was to identify their organizational structures and beneficial owners, assess the implementation of the Law on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism - and related regulations - and evaluate the associated risks. In addition, in 2020, the Commission conducted a survey of 12 types of groups; operating in financial markets and registered with the Commission. The survey revealed their assets accounted for more than 85% of total market capitalization, and capital concentration was high. All this shows that there is a risk is in the financial system, due to the financial groups’ interdependence and the high concentration of capital and turnover.
Therefore, a comprehensive study to measure and manage risks arising in connection with financial groups - and the identification of appropriate supervision – is required. It is also important to create a legal environment and develop regulation of appropriate calculation methods; for the determination of required capital of the financial group/s, and on-site and off-site supervision.
