D&B establishes JV with CIB

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ The Dun and Bradstreet of the USA (provider of credit information on businesses and corporations), and the Credit Information Bureau, LLC (CIB) of Mongolia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the first private credit information service provider in Ulaanbaatar, the U.S Embassy in Mongolia said Thursday.

The joint venture company (JVC) will initially provide consumer and commercial credit information services but intends to add other credit risk management services in the Mongolian market.

Mr. Bold, chairman of the CIB, said: "The signing of the MoU with D&B culminates three years of efforts of banks and non-bank financial institutions in Mongolia to build a high-class financial institution, the CIB of Mongolia. The agreement is a milestone in the process. We are grateful for world renowned D&B's commitment to partner with us in this JV."

The Credit Information Bureau LLC, Mongolia was established in 2009 by the Mongolian Bankers Association with support from the USAID-funded Economic Policy Reform and Competitiveness (USAID/EPRC) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). CIB selected D&B as a strategic and equity partner from a field of six highly qualified bidders through a competitive tender process. The new joint venture company will provide both credit information services and other much needed credit risk management services in the Mongolian market. Effective information sharing is essential in the credit market, especially for microfinance development and the stability of the financial sector. The company will use D&B's state of the art credit bureau software to support the operation of the JVC.
