The Banker invites CEOs from around the world to discuss the economic climate in their country and institution, and their hopes for the future
Khan Bank of Mongolia, J. Peter Morrow, CEO
1. What makes your country attractive to investors?
Mongolia is the only true democracy in central Asia. It is a young country committed to free markets with a wealth of mineral and natural resources.
2. What are the economic prospects for your country over the next three to five years?
The country is growing very rapidly from a small base. GDP growth last year of 11% was the fastest in Asia. Prospects are for more of the same.
3. How do you foresee the financial sector in your country changing?
Banking is growing rapidly from a small base. We are leagfrogging old technologies and the sector will consolidate around a few strong players.
4. What role will your bank play in your country’s future development?
As the only bank with countrywide branches used by 62% of Mongolian households, Khan Bank of Mongolia will continue to bring all banking services to small businesses and households, while serving as the main payment channel for businesses and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in the country.
