During the irregular governmental meeting on Wednesday, approval was given to the Development Bank of Mongolia’s Board of Directors to establish a 75 million USD contract with Vnesheconombank of Russia, the Bank of Foreign Economic Activity, in order to re-finance capital demanded for installing and buying a 100 Megawatt turbine generator to improve the capacity of Thermal Power Plant No. 4.


Vnesheconombank has requested to adjust the financing terms granted to the Development Bank of Mongolia with the term stated in the contract, “Financing project and managing pay back”. If the term of pay back stated in the contract and Governmental resolution No. 99 of 2012 is extended, financing can be granted from five to eight years correlating to the term in the contract.
