The Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM) was established in 2011 to foster Mongolia's economic and infrastructure development through long-term financing. DBM plans to finance over 1.3 billion MNT for rail, road, housing, and industrial projects in 2012. Major projects include constructing 1,500 km of roads, housing districts, engineering utilities, and the first phase of a new national railway system. DBM also aims to develop Mongolia's first industrial park in Sainshand through financing various mineral and energy processing plants. Implementation of these large infrastructure ventures faces challenges of contractor capacity and finalizing technical plans.
