He said that among 25 to 30 jurisdictions StoneX has evaluated, Mongolia is "the only place" where the firm perceives an "absolute commitment to investor integrity" and a positive investment climate. Lyon noted that StoneX has operated in Mongolia for nearly two decades and has observed a "continually improving climate." He expressed confidence that the market will "progress positively" and move toward investment grade, predicting a "rush for investments and resources." He characterized Mongolia as "one of the best investment opportunities" in Asia and said StoneX looks forward to many more years of investment and growth in the country.
“For all of our businesses at StoneX, we really appreciate both of those venues. They're super important to what we do and we are absolutely committed to both markets.”
“One thing we noticed is that these smaller markets that are developing that are conducive for growth that have a commitment to investment that have a really positive climate gives us an opportunity to look at all of the spectrum of business we do.”
“At each turn, we found a government that's committed to moving forward and thinking about how you can get investment, how you can create a fair climate for investors, and how you can think about developing the vast resources for this amazing country.”
“The amount of engagement that the overall government and the companies and private companies have, the amount of transparency, information dialogue, the mining opportunities in gold and precious metals is unbelievable.”
