Batbold identifies priorities in development strategy
Inaugurating the Mongolia Economic Forum yesterday morning, Prime Minister S.Batbold expressed happiness that this opportunity to discuss development policy issues was becoming an annual feature and hoped the forum would continue to encourage open debate among scholars, politicians, businessmen and civil representatives on all aspects of development.
The theme last year was “We can do it together” and among the issues discussed were the Capital Market, Competition, Reform of the State Registration, Reform of Budget, Mining and Green Economy. The resultant business environment reforms helped Mongolia rank 99th among 117 countries in competitiveness and 100th among 169 countries in the Human Development Index.
This year’s forum has the theme “Together to Development” and has four priority areas for discussion: Development Policy, Human Development, Infrastructure, and Governance. Altogether 15 panel meetings will cover various areas of these four basic concerns.
Human welfare is the ultimate goal of development and Mongolia’s economic growth should improve citizens’ life. We should pay attention to the following four areas, he said.
First, we should improve governance. This can be done by putting in place the right mechanism, by a proper division of power and by a clear demarcation of political parties’ rights and responsibilities. Citizens’ participation has to be encouraged.
Second, we should adopt the right development strategy. We must have a long-term vision.
Third, the emphasis will be on developing our human resources. For this, we need provide better education, giving wide access to knowledge and skills.
Fourth, we should pay attention to infrastructure development because mining, tourism, small and middle enterprises and regional development depend on infrastructure.
