The port recovery influences the increase in foreign exchange reserves

Ch. Khurelbaatar, Minister of Economy and Development, reported to the cabinet meeting on the summary of the activities carried out within half a year since the approval of the Government Resolution to increase foreign exchange reserves.

Speaking at the press briefing after the cabinet meeting, Ch. Khurelbaatar said the foreign currency reserves, which had decreased to USD 2.5 billion, increased to USD 3.4 billion.
