As part of its strategy to attract investments from international markets and further expand multilateral cooperation, the Mongolian commercial bank Golomt Bank has successfully issued three-year Samurai bonds worth ¥15 billion on the Japanese stock market.
The guarantors of the bond issuance were Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and SMBC Nikko Securities Inc., and the bond placement was successfully completed as the demand for the bonds was oversubscribed.
The confirmation of this event took place during the "12th Mongolian-Japanese Public-Private Consultation Meeting," which was held in Tokyo on November 26, 2025. At the event, representatives of Golomt Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. signed the relevant agreement.
"Thanks to the successful issuance of Samurai bonds with an AA rating supported by SMBC Bank, we were able to attract more than 30 professional investors from Japan. This creates opportunities for the private sector in Mongolia for future investments and financing in the Japanese capital market," noted Odonbaatar Amarzayaa, Executive Director of Golomt Bank.
"We are pleased to be the guarantor of the successful issuance of Samurai bonds in the Japanese market. This is an important step for Golomt Bank, which we believe will diversify funding sources for Mongolian banks and support their expansion in Japan," stated Yoshiro Kato, Chief Operating Officer of the Seoul branch of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SMBC").
"The participation of Japanese professional investors, including asset management companies, regional investment organizations, government agencies, and banks in this deal clearly demonstrates a strong interest in Mongolian capital. This not only sets new standards for Mongolia but also for the entire region, opening doors for attracting new Japanese investors," added Tatsuya Suzuki, Deputy Director of Investment Banking Operations at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc.
The funds raised from the issuance of Samurai bonds will be used to finance various projects and programs in Mongolia, as well as to provide credit services to local entrepreneurs.
