Committee approves electronic signatures

The Standing Committee on Justice discussed a draft law on the use of electronic signatures. The matter was approved for further discussion. MP R.Gonchigdorj told our correspondent that Mongolia needs to pass a law on electronic signatures because citizens, state organizations, and private companies all use the latest technologies. He said, if the law passes, it would make it easier for Mongolians to conduct business and would improve state services.

He explained that an electronic signature would be as valid as a normal signature. If the draft law passes, an organization would be established to implement it.
