Chairman of the board of directors of MCS Group Odjargal. J calls for action on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted that “Economy of Mongolia is dependent on weather and seasonal cycles and has few active economic months. Imposing hard lockdowns as spring approaches – when backbone industries of Mongolia such as mining, construction, agriculture, and textile industries starts to ramp up – could disrupt the economy more severely than winter lockdowns. Therefore, it is important that entities and businesses alike to be highly responsible on following prevention guidelines, as well as continuing their business operations without interruptions. This could prevent the already devastated economy from deeper recession. We can see that the government has introduced new bill worth 10 trillion tugriks to support the economy. With proper management and responsibility, it is possible to overcome the pandemic with minimal losses. To prevent business interruptions and to promote economic activity, it is vital that we strictly follow the preventative measures.”
