embers of Parliament and senior executives of top enterprises,
including CEOs and Directors, recently came together at a meeting on
Development-Investment-Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) organized by The
Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI). MNCCI Chairman S.
Demberel said he had given this name to “the summit” as “there can be no
development without investment, and there can be no investment without the
public and private sectors coming into partnership”.

The meeting identified areas of development where PPP could be useful,
clarified the mechanism for this, and chose programs where cooperation can
begin immediately. Demberel said business owners and private sector
entrepreneurs were not satisfied with the progress of the Government’s plans to
reform the business environment in 2010. A few improvements have taken place,
but much more could have been achieved in areas like enhancing competitive
capacity, stabilizing the business environment, and increasing access to
credit.
