The government’s internal approval processes need to be carefully considered when designing and implementing a policy reform program.

The TA project’s work on NPL management led directly to a policy_x005F_x0002_based loan that did not appear to be part of the original purpose for the TA. Instead, it appears that the importance of the TA recommendations as well as the urgency of Mongolia’s needs for financial stability, led to the follow_x005F_x0002_on loan. There may have been specific lessons regarding the development of the government’s commitment to NPL management that could be of use to future TA projects seeking to achieve the same commitment to reform that could have been included in the TCR

Implementation of TA activities in the finance sector should actively engage the private sector so that the policies developed by MOF and OJK are relevant and effective.
