As Mongolia marks its annual “Taxpayer Days,” now in its 27th year, an event was held to honor top taxpayers who have fulfilled their obligations with integrity.
Prime Minister N. Uchral used the occasion to deliver a clear message: “There is no such thing as state money – only taxpayers’ money.” He stressed that public spending, from salaries to infrastructure, is entirely funded by taxes paid by citizens and businesses.
Calling tax payment “one of the most patriotic acts in times of peace,” the Prime Minister positioned taxpayers as the backbone of national development.
The Government is pushing forward its “Free Up” initiative to dismantle bureaucratic barriers holding back businesses and individuals. The measures focus on four pillars: economic liberalization, legal reform, green development, and anti-corruption.
Amid global uncertainty, rising fuel costs, and logistical disruptions, the Government signaled a decisive shift: less reliance on the state and greater trust in the private sector and free competition.
In a concrete first step, 12 liberalization decisions have already been adopted within the Government’s first month in office, an early sign of its intent to move from policy promises to real action.
