Bogd Bank’s net profit for the first half of 2022 reached MNT 8 billion, a 16% increase from the same period of last year. This was mainly due to the 57% increase in interest income. In addition, the soft monetary and financial policies implemented during the pandemic had a positive effect on the financial indicators of the banking sector.
Bogd Bank
Although Bogd Bank was established in 2014, it has expanded its operations in a short period and currently has over 56,000 customers. There are 9 branches in Ulaanbaatar and one in Erdenet.
Bogd Bank was the first Mongolian bank to issue an IPO and went public under the reforms in the Mongolian banking sector and offered 20 percent of its stake or 12,500,000 shares to the public at MNT 2,540 per share. The stock price is relatively stable, and as of July, the closing price on the Mongolian Stock Exchange was about MNT 2,400.
Golomt Bank, one of the largest banks in Mongolia, also published its report for the first half of 2022. In the reporting period, the net profit surged by 6.8 times compared to the same period last year to MNT 57.3 billion. This increase in profitability was thanks to an 11% increase in interest income and a 20% decrease in interest expense.
Golomt Bank
Golomt Bank was established in 1995 and is now one of the leading banks in Mongolia. As of 2020, 52% of all gold purchased by the Bank of Mongolia and 64% of foreign trade guarantees were made through Golomt Bank.
