INTERNATIONAL BOND MARKETS MAINTAIN ELEVATED YIELD LEVELS AS LONG TERM FINANCING REMAINS A KEY FOCUS

🌍 Global bond markets remain active in the second half of 2026, shaped by central bank monetary policies, inflation expectations, and investors’ evolving risk assessments.

🇺🇸 Yields on U.S. Treasury securities remain elevated, with the 10-year Treasury yield approaching 4.7% and the 30-year Treasury yield exceeding 5.2%, reflecting persistently high long-term borrowing costs. In this environment, investor demand continues to favor high-credit-quality fixed-income securities.

🇪🇺 In Europe, moderating inflation has supported continued growth in the issuance of green bonds and other sustainable finance instruments.

🌱 ESG-linked and green financing instruments are further strengthening their role as key sources of long-term capital for energy, urban development, and critical infrastructure projects.

📈 International investors are increasingly prioritizing credit quality, project sustainability, governance standards, and transparency, alongside yield, when making investment decisions.

➡️ These market dynamics underscore the growing importance of aligning Ulaanbaatar’s strategic infrastructure, green development, and large-scale investment projects with international capital markets to secure diversified, long-term financing.

🇲🇳 UBIM is expanding its collaboration with international financial institutions, global investors, and credit rating agencies to develop internationally aligned financing structures and investment solutions that support the City’s strategic development priorities.
