The country’s financial sector includes commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, insurance companies, and securities companies, with the Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC) serving as the primary regulatory body.

The banking sector is dominated by a few large banks, with state-owned banks accounting for a significant share of the sector’s assets. The sector has seen consolidation and increased competition in recent years, with foreign banks also entering the market.

The securities market in Mongolia is relatively small but has been growing in recent years, with the introduction of new financial instruments such as asset-backed securities. The FRC oversees the market, and the Mongolian Stock Exchange is the primary platform for securities trading.
