Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ During its plenary meeting on May 30, Mongolia’s Parliament approved a resolution on increasing the coverage of child allowance, with 68 percent votes of turnouts.

By doing so, the number of children who receive monthly allowance of MNT20.000 will be increased by 222 thousand, reaching 80 percent of total children of the country. 

The increase of the coverage of child monetary benefit will require an annual budget of MNT205 billion. The Ministry of Finance is now ready to issue the required funding starting from April until the end of this year.

Current distribution of the benefit to 60 percent or 684 thousand children used to take some MNT164 billion per year.
