Its main subsidiary Xac Bank is Mongolia's fourth largest commercial bank in terms of assets and has a robust customer base comprised mainly of small and medium sized mining and construction related businesses and individuals.

Through this capital participation, ORIX intends to expand into the Mongolian financial services business with TFG as a strategic partner. ORIX will consider expanding into new areas of business such as card loans and Internet banking and use the financial services business knowhow it has cultivated over the years to expand and strengthen TFG's existing businesses.

Growth of Mongolia's mining and agriculture industry is fast pace and with a forecasted average yearly economic growth rate of 20% over the next 5 years, Mongolia boasts one of the world's highest economic growth rates*¹.

As one of the few countries in the world with large natural mining resources, the Mongolian government is laying out a policy to use private capital including foreign capital. Moving forward, rapid expansion of mainly primary industry markets is expected as a result of infrastructure development for the transportation of natural resources from mining and agriculture.

Looking ahead, ORIX will continue to promote active investment in Asian markets with the potential for growth.
