I’m barreling down a Mongolian highway at 70 miles (113 kilometers) an hour and am about to die.
That’s what I thought as my sport-utility vehicle veered into a ditch to avoid two massive cows the other day. It wasn’t my driver’s fault. The ditch — which locals call a pothole even though it could swallow a Volkswagen — was actually on the road.

Mongolia Investors Forum began on Wednesday in Ulaanbaatar. The ''Euromoney'' organization is arranging the forum in the Government House with the intention of providing the international investors with Mongolia's market and investment environment.

ING Groep NV, the largest Dutch financial services company, has been hired to manage a $300 million bond program for Mongolia’s Khan Bank LLC, paving the way for the Asian country’s largest ever dollar bond sale.

 Khan Bank LLC, Mongolia’s largest bank by assets, aims to boost its market share in loans to 30 percent within four years by adding branches and making acquisitions, Chief Executive Officer Peter Morrow said.

A forum of the international leaders began on Monday in the Government House within the framework of the Global Peace Festival that will end Tuesday in Ulaanbaatar. About 120 state and social figures from 80 countries are attending the forum which will last four days.
