Mongolia Tighter Fiscal Policy Can Help Mongolia Control Inflation (Credit: heckepics/iStock by Getty Images) Discussions at the Bank of Mongolia’s recent international conference marking its centennial highlighted an important policy issue: how to better align monetary and fiscal policies to tackle high inflation. Ideally, monetary and fiscal policies should operate like a rider on a horse, working in concert but also within their mandates and objectives. In Mongolia, there is room to make the monetary-fiscal ride smoother to arrive at target inflation more quickly. The Bank of Mongolia—one of Asia’s oldest central banks in a country that was an early initiator of coin and paper note circulation dating back eight centuries to the Mongol Empire—has played a major role in Mongolia’s transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. The Bank established a two-tier banking system in 1991 to separate the central bank from commercial lenders, scrapped the fixed exchange rate in 1993 to promote exports and improve the balance of payments, and phased out direct controls in favor of a market-oriented monetary policy framework.  The Bank also introduced elements of an inflation targeting framework in 2013 but its journey toward full-fledged inflation targeting remains incomplete. While the central bank has a mandate to maintain stable prices, two obstacles impede the journey: a lack of operational independence and the significant impact of fiscal policies on monetary policy outcomes, given the large share of the government in the economy. Improving government policies can therefore play an important role in keeping inflation in check.

Giving Tuesday is almost here, and I’m writing to tell you how your contribution to The Obama Foundation will make a difference this year. We have a vision for a better world made possible by bringing together emerging changemakers from around the globe to help them tackle some of our most persistent problems–from climate change to human rights to threats to democracy. We’re also helping young people reach their full potential here in Chicago and around the world through the My Brother’s Keeper and Girls Opportunity Alliances. This vision is possible. And, the good work is worth it to see the difference these programs and changemakers are having throughout our communities. So on this global day of generosity, we’re asking you to help us continue this work in 2025 and beyond, and I have some news that will make your impact even greater. We just got word that a generous donor will contribute a special $25,000 matching gift to support The Obama Foundation, but only if 1,000 other people make a gift for Giving Tuesday! Can you chip in today and be one of the 1,000 people we need to unlock this critical donation? Your contribution will have a huge impact for training the next generation of global leaders–work that you and I both know is more important than ever. HELP US UNLOCK $25,000 Giving Tuesday is all about community, and that’s why this generous donor came to us with this offer. They want to see The Obama Foundation community come together on Giving Tuesday in support of building a better future, and if 1,000 of us can do this, they’ll step up with this tremendous gift. In addition to helping us unlock this $25,000 donation, your individual contribution will make a tremendous difference to The Obama Foundation’s ongoing work. Our mission at The Obama Foundation is simple: inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world. And that’s exactly what your Giving Tuesday gift will do. It will fund programs for the next generation of leaders, empower girls around the world, and support boys and young men of color in Chicago and beyond. We are depending on 1,000 generous people like you to make a $25 Giving Tuesday contribution—will you be one of them? Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can bring change home.   —John John Grice Giving Manager The Obama Foundation GIVE NOW
